"Ottoman Grüw invited me to make a 1 hour mix for Operator Radio. It features works by friends in different corners of the world and also some recent collaborations, duets. The tone is wide, there are some wide spaces but also intense energy. I have gotten to know Jean (Ottoman Grüw) over the past couple of years, from doing work to mobilize artists to speak out in support of Palestinian human rights, to working together on a series of shows in Brussels. I hope that you enjoy the mixtape. Thanks for listening. - Stefan."

< what if the catastrophic wreckage of modernity, beneath its ruins, gave us the chance to discover new possibilities? what if new forms of mutant expression emerged from the destruction? >

MUTANT MODALITY is a hub for subversive frequencies. From the fringes of club culture to experimental, goth electronics and other decadent journeys.
