Low End Theorists, the Sydney-based audio journal, arrives at FR with a mix brimming with soothing textures and strange but enveloping tones — a warm tribute to the inspiring soundscapes they’ve been shaping through their inspiring Theory Therapy (@theory-therapy) mix series and label since 2021. 

‘Me and Dan recorded this one on a Saturday arvo in my sunroom. We’ve been recording mixes for about 5 years now, so the way we put them together has become pretty intuitive. This one is just a continuation of what we’ve always done – playing music we both love and not overthinking it’.

One of New York’s most romantic and exhilarating electronic sounds, DJ Python (@worldwideunlimited) makes his debut this year on XL Recordings with the EP "i was put on this earth". On this record, he gently forays into uncharted territory as a singer, producer, and collaborator, an evolution made all the more impressive in light of his groundbreaking musical projects to date, such as "Mas Amble", "Angel", and "Club Sentimientos Vol. 2". While splitting his time between New York and London, Python has teamed up with a diverse set of collaborators, including South London rapper Jawnino, Honduran-born powerhouse Isabella Lovestory, unclassifiable songwriter Organ Tapes, and NYC mainstay Physical Therapy. Across the five-track EP, Python shares bold solo songs alongside these intriguing collaborations. The project retains the captivating melodies, atmospheric textures, and rhythmic innovation that defined Python's earlier recordings, while building on and shaping these signature elements into ambitious and addictive new compositions.

A resident behind the decks at Nowadays, New York’s seminal club, DJ Python has developed a limitless-speed style defined by playful invention and masterful mixing. The everyday fades under the sway of his tropical, primal beats, arranged with a precision that conjures an otherworldly atmosphere. Skies are painted in hues only he could create, with transitions that awaken the senses, blending sophistication with vitality, chaotic yet meditative, making it impossible not to move.

His albums and mixes have earned praise from Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, Crack Magazine, and beyond, cementing his position as a boundary-pushing force in contemporary electronic music and securing his place on year-end lists worldwide.

From the host: "For this October mix, Sasha Crush unveils her deep love for post-punk, "punk funk", new wave, and balearic rhythms. 

This show is a reflection of her roots - her first show ever for NTS showcased all-female fronted + girl rock groups. Her style has evolved with time, but the love for bass guitar and dreamy synth melodies has always been there <3"
