THE TAKE 5 SERIES
Best known for 2018 single “Rise,” a collaboration with fellow artists The Glitch Mob and The World Alive, Mako is an American DJ with millions of monthly listeners across streaming platforms. What started off as a duo has turned into a solo musician with an audience both on the dance floor and in the gaming community.
This year, Mako is rolling out music for his sophomore album, Fable. “Ocelot” is his most recent release, a single for the album. Fable will be the successor to his very first studio album, Hourglass (2016).
To learn more about Mako, including what’s on his Netflix watchlist, check out our interview with him below:
Q: Before we dig in, tell us about your latest project.
Q: What’s the go-to dish you’ve cooked up during the pandemic? (if your willing to share, please include the recipe) OR if you haven’t cooked- What’s the weirdest food you’ve ever eaten?
Q: What’s the last song you listened to that’s not yours?
Olafur Arnalds just released a new record, I’ve been playing that one out.
Q: If you could know the absolute and total truth to one question, what question would you ask?
Where are my car keys?
Q: What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done and would you do it again?
Let’s see…I guess there’s a difference between the craziest thing I remember doing and anything I don’t :). Oh, I traveled to Saudia Arabia last year, and then spent some time in Istanbul afterward. Fucking fascinating parts of the world (very different between each other as well). Would absolutely do it again
