Back in Berlin after an escapade of touring and giving workshops in Asia and Africa for the Goethe Institut & Ableton, Jahcoozi are now embracing the cold winter months and finishing off material for their new album. With the exception of gigs in Italy and Belarus, this January they’ll be confining themselves to their studio in Kreuzberg …

A tech-child in the truest sense of the word, Jahcoozi’s Mother Perera has made an exclusive mixtape for Berlin art collective 44Flavours.   Titled ‘ I Hear A New World ‘ ,  it showcases music she loves, which for a change doesn’t include any bleeps, clicks or drones.   100 % man-made, it includes tracks from Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia, Kenya, Congo, South Africa, Thailand and the U.K. ….

» Cross continental obscurites! the whole mixtape is supposed to be a musicial revelation for those who usually listen to electronic music.. like me! Also the last track is by this freak called Joe Meek and is of the same name… «    M.P.
