RADIO.D59B / FICTIONAL FREQUENCIES #3 w/ Bobby Mhark & Emanuela De Luca

Helena Guedes is a Porto based DJ who's been making waves with her diverse sets mixing jazz, soul, funk, disco, and then some.
As an 80's child starting out in her teens as a music lover with an endless appetite for jazz, hip-hop, soul, funk, disco, brazilian music, afrobeat, reggae and calypso, as well as Chicago and Detroit's signature sounds, through to the street soul, acid jazz and broken beat scenes emerging from the UK in the early 90’s, Helena’s sets are a heartfelt tribute to her passion for black music and its roots.
She's a regular presence in venues and festivals inside and also occasionally outside of Portugal, across Europe.
Her love of vinyl turned her into a passionate collector of special, carefully hand-picked records and her mixes can be found online, streaming on various web radios from across the globe.

Trent Quattro aka Bobby Mhark is not your typical DJ/Producer. For him being a DJ (or a producer) is not a final objective, but a means to party, to share music and feelings. A way to give back to the music scene that gave him so much in his life.

Miles away from nowadays inter-continental DJ circuit he prefers to party and to share his music in intimate clubs and at their own „bag of goodies“ nights. Music is the passion that drives his every heartbeat and it shows in every project he’s been involved so far. Driven by the feel of the occasion and as likely to draw for a classic house record as throwing a disco curveball or dropping one of his African bombs into the mix, he makes his true passion for dance music and culture show in every selection.

He started DJing in 1994, throwing small house parties in a rather quirky location, before teaming up with Emanuela De Luca running their „bag of goodies“ nights up until today. He also published a dance-music print magazine called „ouk“ from 1996-2003 which supplied the music communities in Germany, Switzerland and Austria with then scarce (the internet was just around the corner) yet desperately needed information and stories about the music scene. He also shared several music columns in the local newspaper.

In 2004 he started making his own music under the moniker of „Dancing Djedi“ releasing a quite successful 12“ called „Body Music“ on the Swedish „G.A.M.M.“ label. Currently he’s roaming the german Ruhrpott-area and working on some new tracks under the moniker of Trent Quattro.

Massimiliano Conti (from Pescara, Italy) a.k.a. Jazzcat is a true passionate music lover and dj.
After spending many years DJing in local radio stations and clubs, in September 2010 Massimiliano joined the music platform Mixcloud where nowadays he's very active as Jazzcat with more than 800 mixes uploaded (spinning the very best in classic and modern Jazz, Soul, Funk, Latin, Afro and Brazilian music).
During this time he has had the chance to collaborate with DJs, Artists, Record Labels, Festivals and Radio Stations around the globe and his Mixcloud page recently reached 150.000 followers.

Voted #1 in Mixcloud's "BEST OF 2017 : Jazz, Funk & Soul" list
