Zoey Shopmaker aka Sister Zo is a Brooklyn-based producer, DJ, writer and co-founder of the Kansas City-based Queer/Trans collective and record label, UN/TUCK. Her February debut EP 'Screw Cheek' on Scuffed Recordings was met with critical acclaim, earning support from the likes of Ben UFO, Surgeon, I. JORDAN, Jossy Mitsu, Louise Chen and more. With her forthcoming 'Freak Shift' EP on Martyn's 3024 imprint, Zo has established herself as one of North America's breakthrough artists exploring the continuum of UK bass and techno. She has recently played sets for New York City's premier techno institution, The Bunker NYC, and is set to make her Nowadays debut on June 11th. Her sets combine the weight of percussion-heavy dubstep, UK funky and techno with effervescent club cuts and emotive house. 

Notes on the Mix ///
"I originally planned to call this my TRANSEXUAL BASS Mix, drawing exclusively from music made by trans women. Eventually I decided to include a handful of tracks that , while not made by trans women, nonetheless conveyed the message clearly. The mix begins with dark rumbly bassweight courtesy of aya (fka LOFT) interspersed with a scene from POSE in which Elektra tells off a transphobe; and it ends on an overwhelmingly positive note—with the Morales Carnival Club extended mix of 'Spice Up Your Life' by the Spice Girls. It feels like a journey from justified rage into effusive joy and affirmation, with each track carefully selected to amplify the energy of trans and queer empowerment."

Daisychain 264 - Beverly Chills

“For this mix I kinda wanted to make something that felt reminiscent of how I open and close out dj sets at a club. The tracks that have been speaking to me the most all like in a 90-110 BPM range which I think kinda can be played at any point of the night. I appreciate drake’s patience on this since I made like 2 ambient mixes and 3 super-fast techno mixes before just saying “fuck it” and doing a single take here that felt a bit more reminiscent of what I actually prefer to hear when im in a club. Hopefully this mix takes you to a place that is not too far from here 😊”

Kiernan Laveaux @ The Lot Radio 06-26-2023

"For the mix, I was inspired by a world in which improvements in human-computer interface technologies evolve to keep pace with rapid advancements in artificial intelligence. Humans are able to upload their consciousness to private networks via pseudo-organic metamaterial brain implant devices, developed and distributed by a small group of quadrillionaires and their affiliated conglomerates. Subjectivity transfer between individual users from vessel to vessel within a network is possible (and popular!), and AI brain module installation has been productized, provided that the host legally waives a % of agency and control of their body to the auto-pilot network of their choice. Unsatisfied with planetary conditions, many are completely surrendering their vessels and opting for 100% takeover, leading to a growing population of artificially-guided human bodies."

Heaven is in You w/ ADAB 140723

A creature is born out of the ashes of human remains after a mass extinction event. Emerging into a new world where nothing else shares its consciousness, it assembles clues to its lineage through the drum, pitched instruments, and the human voice. Slowly accumulating more and more breakbeats over time, it goes through phases of discovery and learning before reaching an eventual cacophony – the overwhelming pain of knowing the fatal flaws which cause its ancestors’ demise. Eventually it reaches a gentle reconciliation, an understanding of its history with the courage to move forward in its own light in a grim new world.
