we have a word in german that doesn’t have an english translation called •• heimat •• according to wiki ‘the word describes a state of belonging “the opposite of feeling alien,” and its definition is not limited to a geographical place.’

was fast, bright and beautiful!
and german haus felt like a small kind of home inside of it all 🛖🐚

being invited into that space meant a lot to me ••
as someone shaped so deeply by berlin, by german culture, by the particular feeling of growing up there and becoming who i am there,
it felt so very warm to carry that part of myself all the way to austin and meet it again on a stage in the middle of texas 🤠 thank you for having me for both a dj set, spinning all my current favorite tunes, as well as for my live show, with my mic and keyboard and soooo many new songs i got to play for the first time. also thank you .austin for having me for another dj set and wonderful night with you guys as well.

before this caption becomes a novel i will stop myself here. feeling v grateful for the little experiences i get to make and the ways i get to share who i am and what i’m about. means so much 🌟💭💖 # # # jop

ps: played a new one with at every show and i’m loving the way it feels 🖖🏽 (slide 15&16)

nyc, i’ve been missing you in small, specific ways.
last time: a b2b with + a night i still carry deep in my 🫀 i’m a bit late posting about it because life moves fast sometimes!
next time: march 8 >> women’s day

this is how i feel about the entirety with being out now 🧚🏼‍♀️💕✨

when maxim and i first met on zoom a few weeks ago, we immediately fell into a deep artist-to-artist heart-to-heart. we talked a lot about making art we can truly stand behind •• beyond trend cycles or outside noise. about trusting the slow, intentional path of creating work that actually feels like us, and letting that be enough and meaningful.

this song began with maxim’s instrumental idea, and the words i wrote to it arrived effortlessly. “the entirety” is about an unapologetic self-acceptance - of yourself, your art, your way of being - that doesn’t ask for validation. a quiet confidence that invites others to meet you as you are, not as they’d prefer you to be.

during our call, we realized that the conversation we had before even getting into the meeting was exactly what we wrote our song about months ago.

so proud and happy to say it’s finally yours 💌
i invite you to listen wherever you get your music (link in bio), and keep showing up entirely - fully, whole!

sending so much love,
xx JOP

studio days after a show feel like coming home to myself 🌀🧝🏼‍♀️💖🌱
london last saturday was loud, tender, real
now it’s quiet - cables on the floor, tea going cold
(and a friendly visitor sometimes 🐈)
i’m listening for what wants to take shape next
softly 🫧🫧🫧

is always such a highlight on my tours through asia and i’m so happy my last show there just happened to be recorded and i now get to share it on youtube with you and relive it over & over again that way. i remember leaving the show being completely overwhelmed by the pure and warm energy in that room and so elated when i then found out there’s all this footage. i edited it myself over the last weeks and also pulled out the animation art .abcs and i made ages ago (but which we’re actually now revisiting for another exciting project 👘👀🪡) and added it in to make it YT compatible.
just now put out the video - the link is in my bio. 2h of some special live moments and goooood times 4u to enjoy wherever, whenever. sending lots of love your way, as always. # # # jop
