Behind the Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic) : Release Notes
Crossing their distinctive techno practices in the spirit of mutual appreciation and experimentation, DJ Nobu invites JakoJako to Bitta. Each delivering an original track and then remixing each other’s work, both artists examine where their creativity converges, and what happens when their differing qualities collide. JakoJako has forged a reputation within techno and electronica circles centred on her accomplished exploration of modular synthesis. While she comfortably embraces ambient projects, she’s also firmly entrenched in the club matching a tough rhythmic sensibility with adventurous textures and subliminal emotional content. As Nobu himself describes, “Beyond standard techno functionality, I deeply respect [JakoJako]’s approach to music making, which stems from a pure, unyielding curiosity about sound itself. Her sound aligns perfectly with Bittas core philosophythe coexistence of experimentation and physicality.” Nobu’s own ‘Wax and Wane’ opens up the release in a melancholic mosaic of bleeping leads and natural-sounding drum tones, patiently laid out over a dense pad and developed with the elegant but driving style he’s made his own over many years. JakoJako’s ‘Nodus’ is a more cybernetic affairlithe layers of frequency modulation moving over the rugged kick drum thump before opening up to celestial arps and jagged flurries of percussion. For the remixes, Nobu immediately reframes ‘Nodus’s melodic crescendo as the core theme while steering the track towards an immersive, linear arrangement that ebbs and flows with poise. In the process, he finds his own expressive sound design language to put a unique spin on JakoJako’s original sound. Meanwhile, JakoJako steers ‘Wax and Wane’ into a mesmerising lattice of needlepoint percussion and swooning synth strokes, creating emotive swells out of the raw ingredients of Nobu’s original melodies. The end result is a record made up of four distinct pieces, all logically compatible but bringing forth different aspects of two dedicated, ceaselessly curious practitioners of contemporary techno.
