JakoJako, aka Sibel Koçer, is a Berlin-based producer, primarily a live performer.
The sound of JakoJako spans all the way from techno, experimental and rhythmical, to highly melodic and emotional. She makes extensive use of modular and analogue synthesis in her productions on stage and uses fluency in the language of sound to convey emotion. Each track is an experiment, with success based on the intensity of feeling it creates.
It started with an urge to play with sound, a DIY synth, and a desire to know more. After several years, JakoJako performed her first live sets around Berlin and spent every spare penny on Eurorack modules. The passion became all-consuming, and in 2017 JakoJako started working at the legendary Berlin synth-mecca SchneidersLaden, where she’s been sharing her knowledge of tools and techniques with the city’s music makers ever since.
Her debut EP “Aequilibration”, released in 2019 on Leisure System Records, showcased this explorative mindset, with four very different stylistic ideas tied together through emotive sound design, sharp production, and a strong sense of melody. The release was followed by a string of live gigs, performed with her modular system and Elektron boxes, including a release party at Berghain, playing a standout set alongside Ben UFO and Marie Davidson.
Offline, JakoJako has made good use of the time in her studio, producing tracks on compilations for B-Pitch Control and Figure Records, remixes for Crouds on Intumi, and most recently, for New Order on Mute Records. More solo work is in the pipeline too, including a new EP for Leisure System Records, due in mid-2021.
