Mamiko Motto

Mamiko Motto is a sound artist, DJ, and music director working across club culture, fashion, and institutional... art. The founder of record label GASS and an early architect of NTS, the world's premier internet radio station, she approaches every commission as an act of deliberate curation and deep listening.

Her practice is built on encyclopaedic knowledge and an instinct for the unexpected. Drawing from cinematic scores, jazz fusion, hip hop, disco, house, and techno, Mamiko constructs sonic narratives that shift the atmosphere of a room, a collection, or a gallery. The Fader has noted her ear for new music that bends the rules; Dazed and Confused recognises her gift for constantly uncovering tucked-away records and underrated artists.

She has performed at Horst Festival, Sonar, Mutek, Bestival, and Roskilde, and toured globally with Warp Records. Her music direction spans Paul Smith, Solid Homme, YUME YUME, The Fabricant, and Malone Souliers. She has curated music events at Tate Britain, the Royal Albert Hall, and NXT Museum Amsterdam, and holds residencies at Wiels Museum and Kiosk Radio.

Mamiko doesn't do soundtrack work, she transforms it. Every project carries her curatorial signature: always forward-leaning, always charged with intent. Read More
