Name: Private Hearts #1 (Red Light Radio 11-10-16) by Elias Mazian
Duration: 59 min 57 s
Description: the first edition of my monthly radio show on Red Light Radio.

Born in Rome, now based in Florence, DJ and producer Matisa has long been attuned to the intersection of music and style. Having studied at Polimoda, one of the world’s most respected fashion schools, she approaches music selection with an aesthetic gaze – crafting bright visions and immersive environments from her record crates.

For her Crack Mix, Matisa drifts between 133 to 135 bpm playing vinyl only. Setting the scene in her own words, Matisa told us, “I imagined the feeling of recording this in a water bubble, I wonder if your perception will be the same!”

With what was mostly a full and fruitful year for us with many beautiful moments, we now turn our eyes forward to what is looking to be a very exciting year for us at Phonica as we walk into our 20th year of being alive. 2022 saw our mix series get even more killer contributions from artists like Paramida, Sally C, Fred P, Eden Burns, Alex Kassian, Erol Alkan and more. 2023's series line up plans to keep moving up and we have opened this years mix season in the capable hands of two of the finest DJ/Producers doing it right now. Bringing nothing but powerful, euphoric and goddess energies it can only be Octo Octa and Eris Drew of T4T Luv NRG. Amazingly celebrated for their strand of psychedelic, rolling progressive, trancey-house and break rhythms we can't think of two better selector's to take on our series. With an excellently curated compilation and mix for our good friends at Fabric last year as well as two banging cassettes on T4T we can't begin to imagine what this year has in-store for Maya and Eris but we have no doubt it's even more on the upward trajectory! Most likely to the heavens and back! We had a chat with Maya and Eris to see what they have been up to lately and little about how they approached the mix.

Deemed the queen of long sets, Stella Zekri https://soundcloud.com/stella-zekri-ouiddir made her IsBurning debut on New Year’s Day and ever since we’ve been longing for her entry in podcast series. Each record she plays is a found gem and she has a favorite in this mix:  

“Romanthony - Let me show you love (Morales Erotic Mix) is a track on a record that I digged during my last visit in Paris. I love it for the iconic vocal sample we’ve all heard, and the dreamy pads combined with a driving groovy beat. I also just love a track with many parts, a track that is a journey in itself.”

Recording of my set at Pukkelpop 23. 

Another one for the books as they say soms. Pukkelpop was f-ing epic not much more to be added here haha... Booth was full and my heart is also full. Thank you to all 🌹

I could write long texts about what it means to play a festival like this but when it all comes down to it, it's very simple: it's fucking fun.

Special S/O to forever tour-manager Laura, roadie VDR and family and friends in the front and back 💕

Private Hearts #1 (Red Light Radio 11-10-16)

For Eris’s mixtape “Raving Disco Breaks Vol. 1”, she uses old records to create a new style out of fragments. Many of the selections have been featured heavily in her live DJ sets, including her b2b sets with Octo Octa. Eris accumulated these records slowly, over decades, but it wasn’t until touring last year that she realized a “sound” coalesced in her bag. What does a rave at the disco sound like? Kinda like everyone took ecstasy at the roller rink. On her ecstatic mix, Eris colleges together a genre by scratching-in breaks with horn samples, mixing Disco House with broken beats, dropping Miami Bass jams with Boogie keys and blending Rave tunes with disco vocals. On the mix Eris utilizes turntable techniques such as “doubles” tricks and “hot mixing”—a fast-paced mixing style inspired by her beloved B96 Mixmasters, Chicago’s most popular 1990’s radio DJs. Like all of Eris’s mixes, she weaves strong narratives of embodiment, defiance, cultural transcendence and personal triumph (a classic disco emotion) into a flow of body rockin’ beats, scratches, drops, and sweet melodies. The result is a bass heavy summertime house mix for the psychedelic bad girls, boys and enbys. 

A limited run of Raving Disco Breaks Vol. 1 cassettes are available now exclusively from the label’s Bandcamp - http://t4tluvnrg.bandcamp.com

 The recording can be streamed on the T4T LUV NRG SoundCloud for free and hi-resolution versions are available for download on the label’s Bandcamp (donation requested). All profits  from Eris’s mix will be donated to the Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP), which works to guarantee that all people are free to self-determine their gender identity and expression, regardless of income or race, and without facing harassment, discrimination, or violence.

As we enter a lockdown winter, we got NYC x Berlin's Gabrielle Kwarteng to bring the temperature up with our first mix of 2021.

New Yorker now Berlin-based Gabrielle Kwarteng’s multifarious selection won her the Mixcloud Online Radio award for the best eclectic show in 2017. Since then, this compelling DJ is starting to turn heads offline by bringing her diverse sound to clubs and festivals around the globe.

Gabrielle leaves us reminiscent of better days in this hour-long blend of funky rhythms, infused with Chicago House amongst Acid and New Beat to really turn up the heat!
