Between 2007 and 2020, Mario Cotto spent virtually every Saturday night in the basement studios of KCRW in Los Angeles, broadcasting his Psychedelic Service to listeners worldwide. The show was an eclectic mix of punchy dance music, psychedelic rock, 70s AM gold, 80s synth, eccentric world music and ambient freakouts. It was a reign that sadly ended with the first lockdown. Tonight, we welcome him back to the air. For two hours, experience a heady trip inspired by Warp's Artificial Intelligence comps, KLF's Chill-Out, and something like a Late Night Tales colliding with a Sublime Frequencies compilation.
DJ Voices is the moniker of Kristin Malossi. She's a resident and the booker at Nowadays, a co-founder of Working Women, and hosts Nothing In Moderation on The Lot Radio and the audio extension of her party series Blue Enough on Noods Radio. Her style is inimitable, wide-reaching while keeping sights focused on the dancefloor. Tonight, we air an almost experimental mix where Kristin explores a few different themes and then mashes it together. It will be an unmissable two hours.
A few years ago, Son Of Sesh relocated from Pōneke to Amsterdam. He has upped the ante since then, picking up residencies on Echobox Radio and at the Textures club-night, and having his dubs aired on Subtle Radio and Balamii. Last week, racquetclub released his debut Surface EP. We celebrate with a mix of his own productions interspersed with future soundsystem classics.
Tāmaki Makaurau-via-London creative Marcus Philippe made his production debut with a track on JUBILEE's stunning Magic City compilation in 2018. He recently released the Warmth EP, a dubby and textured three-tracker that has quickly become one of FPHQ's favourite local releases of the year. Marcus joins us with a mix that stitches together deep grooves from three decades of dance music.
Chef Knives! The earliest tool known to humanity. Whakarongo mai nei to hear Sam's take.
** Also, here's a follow-up tip from Sam!
"Every air bnb I’ve ever come across have super dull knives and if you’re lucky they might have a knife sharpener if they don’t, use the under side of a ceramic bowl or mug where the rough unglazed part is exposed and sharpen the knife on that!"
