ASMR with OKO DJ
OKO DJ has an appreciation for the weird and wonderful; she’s never afraid to colour outside the lines.
The Athens-based DJ cut her teeth in Paris as part of the Bruits De La Passion collective, a crew of deep digging friends whose activities include throwing parties around the city and LYL Radio transmissions.
It’s on LYL, the Lyon-born community-led radio station which OKO DJ helped to launch in Paris, that she hosts her female-focused show PU$$Y NIGHTMARE, bringing along like-minded selectors for the ride including Zozo, Lena Willikens and Loma Doom.
The Lyon connection also continues through her close partnership with Brothers From Different Mothers (BFDM), the label that calls artists like The Pilotwings, Simo Cell and Jezebel family.
In another example of French brilliance, OKO DJ is one of the many talented artists playing at Saint-Etienne’s Positive Education this weekend, so ahead of her set she lets us into one of her past times. From passionate curtain appreciation to cashier judgement and being a toilet, she takes us through her favourite ASMR sounds that get her in relaxation mode…
“I listen to a lot of ASMR, whether it’s for relaxing or from a musical perspective as well. I’m very fond of some of the vocal/sound textures some of these ASMRtists can achieve and it’s a whole world of creativity and weirdness. Here are some of my most unexpected ASMR faves… Let’s relax (or not) and get freakyyy…”
OKO DJ plays Positive Education (8th-13th November).
