Today Berlin based modular synthesist and DJ JakoJako, aka Sibel Koçer, has shared the first track from her new four-track Segmente EP for NovaMute, set for release on July 26, 2024.
Listen to the exhilarating new track, “Modus”, accompanied by Reza Hasni’s abstract psychedelic artwork HERE.
Koçer’s passion for electronics began with an urge to play with sound, and a desire to learn more about the world of modular systems and patch cables. Her meticulous studies soon progressed into performing regular live sets in Berlin, a Berghain Residency and a position at Berlin electronic music institution, SchneidersLaden.
In recent years, her success as a performer has grown steadily, and she has also been involved in several motion sensor dance projects with dancers at Superbooth and Kraftwerk Berlin, has performed at the Royal Albert Hall with Bonobo, and at the Barbican in London with an improvised “Circle Of Live” performance that featured dance and a specially commissioned art installation.
JakoJako’s unmissable live performance has fed directly into the new EP, all four tracks originated in her live show, giving the EP a propulsive urgency imbued with her distinct take, described by RA as “fragile techno written in the key of wonder”.
The new EP follows the Verve EP, her debut for Mute, a full length album, Metamorphose (2022, Bigamo) and her collaboration with Rødhåd, In Vere (2022, WSNWG), both of which came hot on the heels of two blistering remixes for Mute, New Order’s "Be A Rebel" and Martin Gore’s "Vervet."
