Pill-belly techno flights by Berlin’s JakoJako on her debut mission with Mute after initial outings with Leisure System, on Tresor 30, and a collaborative LP with Rødhåd.

The ‘Verve EP’ gives a strong flavour of JakoJako’s taste for modular and analog synthesis across four club tools that oscillate straight-laced and offbeat arrangements. ‘Impetus’ is built to hold a sublime tension at peak times with its galloping kicks and ascendent choral pads precipitating a soaring trance arp around the half way mark, and ‘Auris’ yokes back to a fine line of deep, stepping techno.

It gets more interesting for us with the crafty subaquatic slosh and radiant highs of ‘Opak’ recalling Barker’s Leisure Systems work or a slower Vel, and ‘Nexus’ also gets it right with a Mike Parker-esque pneumatic pump cycling into trance zones.
