Jahcoozi is a bass-heavy electronica trio is a creative alliance made up of London-born, Sri Lankan songwriter and front woman Sasha Perera and two beat-freak producers/multi-instrumentalists—Teuton Robot Koch and Tel-Aviv born Oren Gerlitz.

Producer Robot Koch is not only the mastermind behind his band Jahcoozi, he also produces and performs as a solo artist under his own name and works as a songwriter and producer for many different artists internationally. Sasha Perera co-wrote and sang the song 'Silikon' featured on Modeselektor's album 'Hello Mom!' and on Thom Yorke's iTunes playlist in 2007.

Jahcoozi's sound has been described as consisting of abstract electronic beats within ragga, dub and electronica. A mongrel style of avant-garde, electronic pop music. They met in Berlin in 2002 and have been making music together ever since. The group built up a solid fan-base with their freaky underground shows in 2003. Songs such as Black Barbie and Fish (released as a debut single in 2003 on WMF Records gained them early recognition. The latter earned them a spotlight on the cult BBC show of the late John Peel, who called it “Beautiful pop music from the future”.

In 2005, they were snapped up by Kitty-Yo, the Berlin-based mother label of Peaches. Later in that busy year, they unleashed the Black Barbie picture disc vinyl and their long-awaited, full-length debut album entitled Pure Breed Mongrel.

With 3 full-length albums (Pure Breed Mongrel, Blitz 'n' Ass, and Barefoot Wanderer) numerous releases including EPs, Picture Discs, remixes, features and even an exclusive Japanese album to their name, Jahcoozi have released music on labels including Kitty-Yo, Asound/K7, Playhouse, NinjaTune, Citizen Records, Crosstown Rebels, 1965, WMF Records, Hydra etc.

Barefoot Wanderer came out in 2010 on Ellen Alien's Berlin-based imprint BPitch Control . Resident Advisor deemed it “one of the year's most disturbingly beautiful creations...”.
