Can U tell me What the final track is ? :)

Lena Willikens doesn’t play the hits. When she’s behind the decks, even her biggest fans often have no idea exactly what she’s playing, and that’s part of the magic. Like all DJs, Willikens of course has a passion for records, but she’s also after something bigger, something that’s truly transportive for those on the dancefloor.

Born and raised in Germany, Willikens first honed her unique approach during a long residency at Düsseldorf’s beloved Salon des Amateurs. These days, however, she’s based in Amsterdam, where her transportative impulses have been plugged into a variety of outlets with a global reach. On the radio, she pilots the monthly Lightning Conductor program on NTS. On record, she recently curated the fifth installment of Dekmantel’s acclaimed Selectors compilation series, and she’s also been tapped to remix the likes of Lena Platonos, S U R V I V E, rRoxymore, Simian Mobile Disco and Ana Helder, amongst others. On stage, Willikens works with artist Sarah Szczesny on Phantom Kino Ballett, an immersive audio-visual performance art project that defies routine explanation.

Still, it’s in the DJ booth where Willikens continues to make the biggest impact. Whether she’s playing alone or in tandem with fellow sonic explorer and Salon des Amateurs alum Vladimir Ivkovic, Willikens nimbly navigates electronic music’s darkest and most bizarre corners, sampling different temperatures, different moods and a dollop of chaos, just to keep things interesting. And although she herself doesn’t always know the final destination, when Willikens is at the helm, there’s no question that the journey is bound to be thrilling.

Mystery by name, mystery by nature. The Manchester-based masked DJ and producer prefers to lurk in the shadows. Under the moniker DR MYSTERY, she metamorphoses through different tempos and styles, blurring the lines between genres and sounds. After all, it's usually the bits that fall in between that are the most interesting.

These cerebral sonics make up her regular slots on radio, whether it’s something special for NTS or her Synesthesia project on Worldwide FM, in which she picked a colour for each show that guided her mix.

She first made her production debut back in 2020 with a slick melodic electro cut called 'Vecher' but this year her first long player entered the world. In May she released Far From Home via Ono, a dreamy album that connected the spirit of the mind and the body. 

This visceral quality continues on her newest release, Basquiat, a three-track EP for Manchester's Left, Right & Centre. Eerie soundscapes sit next to emotive melodies and crisp drum programming, all coming together to paint a picture of "urban skylines and vivid dancefloors of her life in Manchester".

Following the release we asked her to take control of this week's Shine A Light On mix. She's provided a very special recording that moves through haunting electronica, forceful DnB and heavyweight jungle cuts.

Perera Elsewhere is back with her first new album in five years. Entitled 'Home', the forthcoming record – due out on LA-based label Friends of Friends – sees the experimental 'doom-folk' artist born Sasha Perera exploring an even freer sound than she’s previously pursued, across records such as 'All of This' and 2013’s 'Everlast'. 

Weighty, meditative and fit to blast a hole out your speakers, her Crack Mix is a fine reconciliation of her wide-ranging interests, skipping between the jazz styling of Shabaka Hutchings and the seductive club sounds of Leonce via pacy thrillers from Nia Archives, DJ Hype, Miss Red and more. Strap in for the ride.

Live at Rararadio during Dutch Design Week Eindhoven with nosey design tourists walking in and peeking over my shoulder, some technical issues and a bit sloppy ending, but happy with the selection :-)
