Doc Sleep is an unsung hero. Low-key and understated, she's an accomplished DJ and producer, as well as being part of the two-person team behind the consistently excellent Jacktone label. The label has amassed an incredible 70 releases since 2013, putting out tracks from the likes of Gayphex Twin, Roche, Experimental Housewife, CMD, and past Truancy Volume mixers Isabella and Russell E.L Butler. Originally from the Bay Area but now based in Berlin, she is a regular at clubs like Tresor, as well as being heavily involved as a resident and curator for the Room 4 Resistance collective. Her first official release under this name came in the mid-2010s, but she's been producing in one way or another a decade longer than that, and like many of her peer group started off in "guitarish" bands. Nowadays she appears on her own label as well as the similarly busy Dark Entries. We talked to her about her origins, influences and the current state of the label among other things, while she contributes a stellar mix that builds with class and elegance from subtle beginnings.
