JakoJako

JakoJako explores the intersection between technical precision and emotional depth in electronic music. Her work is shaped by a dynamic interplay of intuition and knowledge, drawing from techno’s tension and release while expanding into open-ended structures. As a Berghain resident, her live performances and DJ sets are defined by hypnotic energy and spontaneity, blending intricate arpeggios, evolving loops, and modular synthesis to create immersive sonic experiences.

She has played at renowned festivals like Dekmantel, Awakenings, and Fusion, as well as institutions like the Royal Albert Hall. Her productions—released on Tresor, Mute, and Leisure System—balance vastness and intimacy. Deeply influenced by modular synthesis and her long-standing connection to SchneidersLaden, she remains driven to explore new sonic contexts.

Ultimately, it’s the raw feeling of sound that has sustained a lifelong obsession with its intricacies and processes, and the compulsion to search for new energies in musical hardware continues to ensure JakoJako is one of the most captivating live performers and artists in electronic music today.
