Few DJs have impacted their local communities like Lisbon's Photonz. For little over a decade now, the Rádio Quântica and mina co-founder has been crafting his own deeply personal style of Portuguese house and techno. As a DJ, Photonz grew a reputation for deep crates and intensely euphoric sets.

For this week's mix he brought a open and spacious selection full of confrontational energy and raw textures, while connecting the dots between house, techno and electro with finesse.

Fault Radio Guest Mix 008 | Bézier

@sisterzo is a DJ, producer, and writer, newly based in Colombus, Ohio after establishing herself in the music scene of Kansas City, Missouri. She is a co-founder of @untuckcollective, a queer/trans/femme/nonbinary collective based in Kansas City. Her mix is unadulterated summer fun full of bouncy basslines and cheeky vocals - she described it best herself: "It’s giving sweat, sunsets, poppers and good clean ecstasy."

"When I started to conceive of this mix, I had a very strong feeling—as I’m sure many of us did around this time (May-June)—of desperately wanting to return to the light of a good, cathartic club night.

The Pandemic had shifted my musical tastes away from house, techno, bass music etc. and sent me down this rabbit hole of slower (and faster) tempos and rhythms. This mix was sort of a self-directed return to upbeat, driving house and techno—a spell for manifesting eventual joy and collective movement on the dancefloor, or a field somewhere. It’s giving sweat, sunsets, poppers and good clean ecstasy. I recorded the mix at home on CDJ 2000s and a DJM900."

Recording of Jay Glass Dubs' set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

"Playing at Selectors after all this time of looking at my screen was a blessing that came in the form of a drizzle in the opening notes of Laurie Spiegel's Patchwork and intensified as I was jamming tunes by Birmingham's finest UB40 to Tricky, heavy steppers and Sherwood dubs. Can't forget the smiling faces there, entangled in a blissful embrace of an afternoon summer rain."

Recording of Tala Drum Corps' set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

"My set at Dekmantel Selectors was an experience I will never forget. To be able to play my favourite music out loud with a dancing crowd after 1,5 year of nothingness, stress and mental exhaustion was something special. Very very grateful to the Dekmantel Crew and The Garden to have been part of this amazing festival. Thanks!"

Outsiders w. Duckett guest Joe Ellis!
“It's so good to be back! And there's no better way to introduce my first show of 2022 than to finally host a mix by (literally) my favourite DJ and part time comedian - Joe Ellis! I've been sniffing around Joe for this mix for a while, and I'm truly honoured to finally be able to have him on the show.
Joe - along with Leif - are responsible for the impeccable imprint 'Until My Heart Stops' or 'UMHS' for short. Joe now presides over the new 'Lamassu' label, and has been an integral part of Freerotations fabric from the beginning.
If you've ever had the pleasure of seeing or hearing Joe play, you'll need no second hand badly worded introductions, but here go's anyway... His selections hinge on an uncanny classy taste, quality control and honesty. Flying the flag for everything meaningful, and pissing on everything that is not. You're in for a treat...
The first hour of the show consists of some new music I've been enjoying recently, alongside some anxious out takes from my own therapy sessions.
Second hour, Joe Ellis.
Massive shout out to Mutant Radio for their relentless dedication and quality output. I'm honoured to be a part of it!!”
