Guest DJ Isa GT - Free Lab Radio Show, Sat Nov 2nd

Guest Free Lab DJ this week is Isa GT, a colombian artist in London who runs her record label Etoro Records, makes videos, music and parties and has a show on pulseradio.com

Isa GT was with the !WOWOW! art collective from South London and is now with all-girl collective Girlcore. For this week's Free Lab Radio, she's prepared a truly eclectic mix, peppered with exclusives.

We broadcast Sat night 11-midnight on arts-music station Resonance 104.4FM, repeating Wednesday 2.30am. Listen online with the player, top right.

Below is the track and video that brought Isa GT to our attention, and which we played earlier in the year for a special on women who produce their own music, way before mainstream media were making a feature of it like they are now: La Mamasitas, slang for "babe” or chick. Here's her tracklist:

OOAH! This Week's Free Lab Radio - Welcome to New Orleans

EVERY SATURDAY 11-midnight on 104.4FM or click the Radio Player on the side of this web-post to stream live.

This week's Free Lab Radio is a cuckoo mix from the Lexdray City Series competition, as commissioned by Glitch Mob and Mixcrate.com. This Volume (23) is called Welcome to New Orleans and is mixed by LA resident DJ Ooah.

We love this mix because it features several re-works by Ooah and tracks by plenty we've never heard of alongside knowns such as Koreless and Diplo. It sounds super-fresh.

Enjoy!

This Week's Free Lab Radio - Freedom Fry HiFI

11-midnight on Resonance104.4FM.

Tonight's bespoke mix for Free Lab Radio comes all the way from USA. Originally a Dubliner, now resident in Philly, collector and recorded sound enthusiast, Freedom Fry HiFi is chasing the crackle. From home burnt music to acetates and 78" vinyl, he plays world and 60's electronic compositions, as well as home recordings. Catch more of his shows on the internet.
In this age of quickly generated, pumped up digital files, it's refreshing to have someone willing to freak out on the dancefloor to more distant sounds. There's an undeniable fidelity in these obscure recordings, a pleasure to hear.
