Mystery by name, mystery by nature. The Manchester-based masked DJ and producer prefers to lurk in the shadows. Under the moniker DR MYSTERY, she metamorphoses through different tempos and styles, blurring the lines between genres and sounds. After all, it's usually the bits that fall in between that are the most interesting.

These cerebral sonics make up her regular slots on radio, whether it’s something special for NTS or her Synesthesia project on Worldwide FM, in which she picked a colour for each show that guided her mix.

She first made her production debut back in 2020 with a slick melodic electro cut called 'Vecher' but this year her first long player entered the world. In May she released Far From Home via Ono, a dreamy album that connected the spirit of the mind and the body. 

This visceral quality continues on her newest release, Basquiat, a three-track EP for Manchester's Left, Right & Centre. Eerie soundscapes sit next to emotive melodies and crisp drum programming, all coming together to paint a picture of "urban skylines and vivid dancefloors of her life in Manchester".

Following the release we asked her to take control of this week's Shine A Light On mix. She's provided a very special recording that moves through haunting electronica, forceful DnB and heavyweight jungle cuts.
