This time we have more guests from Porto (some guys we met through DJ-ing at the Materia Prima thing at the end of last year @Leo you might be interested to learn we have asked the guy who owns the shop to do a mix for us and he was very keen so it should happen at some point in the next few months) who are a pretty large collective called Favela Discos - they have a label and they do parties and stuff - I've just realised that they have a wikipedia page so that probably tells you more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favela_Discos - and they sent us a pretty mad mix of sirens and all sorts which, when I was copying the trackliist, I realised leans pretty heavily on their own back catalogue. It must be cool to be in a position where you have been responsible for, or involved in, enough quality stuff that you can make a decent hour-long mix out of it.... anyway, the second hour is us and it's also good I reckon. Slow and dark without being heavy and grinding somehow I think.

Anyhow, it's on the Threads* player on the following link which is the black one on the right hand side of the screen here

Later it will be saved and you can listen to the podcast at your leisure as many times as you like - which I assume will be a lot - but for the moment, your only chance is at 5pm UK/Portugal time and so I suggest you damn well take it.

Oh this is the blurb I should have shared to advertise it

This month our heroes are joined by another collective from Porto; Favela Discos like to experiment, whether it be with their label, their DIY parties and events or simply with the sounds that form the basis of it all. The first hour of the show is a typically hard to pin down - but easy to listen to - mix of sounds. After that hour of madness, Invisible Sounds pitch in with a druggy chuggy spacey bassy hour of their own.

were you always doing the show on threads or my memory did not lie and it used to be elsewhere?

I have a shit ton of Favela Discos stuff (even own a t-shirt!), and chat once in awhile on IG with João Sarnadas. He put out a couple of double CDs of drones called "The Hum" and "The Humm" which are cool. He also just put out a cool experimental thing by Scolari called "Mata Mata", four long tracks of improv/noise/free jazz (and a beautiful handmade CD package). Also good is the Milteto "In Trux We Pux" record, Lorr No "Alergia" (check out the first track), and Guadalupe Fiasco "Lana Del Reino De Deux".

Over the last few years we have had a show on East Side Radio based in Lisbon roughly every month and a show on Threads* from London every month. It was getting a bit too much though trying to convince people to listen to something so often and it was just a lot trying to make two new hours every month (or one if we managed to get a guest) so we have changed the Threads one to every two months.

The ESR one on the other hand has kinda faded away, they haven't asked us for a while and, to be honest, we have grown a little disappointed with their lack of... I dunno, progress. I could write a lot about this and it's a bit of a shame cos I like the guys and I thought we were gonna do some good stuff together but it feels as though they are content to just trundle along and not push themselves to get better. Their new studio was supposed to be finished ages ago but nothing ever happens so they have been broadcasting out of a box on a building site for ages and that feels like a metaphor for their whole project.

We have tried to help ESR do more interesting things and have more interesting shows but it feels more and more that they just have the same boring DJs that are their mates or just random people that aren't very good, they have not made any effort to get better DJs or even give us a tiny bit of support in doing it for them. For example, Liza found out that Sonic Boom from Spaceman 3 lives nearby and she contacted him to get him involved but there was so little enthusiasm from ESR that it looks now as though (hopefully) we are going to do something with him at Cosmos but they are not going to be involved even though they could have been, all they had to do was sound a bit excited about it. So instead of having an exclusive show from a legendary guy they are just gonna have Deco or Jungle Julia or whoever doing their 257th show for ESR - nothing against those particular guys but I don't understand why they don't ever want to have anything special.

Wow perfect then. It's kinda weird to say that this mix was done by Favela Discos cos I'm pretty fucking sure that they weren't all involved. It was a guy called Tito that we met and it was him we spoke to and who - I assume - made the mix, I can't remember what his own project is but I will check for sure.
Very happy about this fortuitous link up - and of course I hope you like the mix!

yes, it's amazing, it makes you feel like a living god

Absolutely... and that must be a great experience, at least until the end of January when the so-called "Ritual of Unbelievably Agonising Painfulness" is performed, during which - after a prolonged period of absolutely horrendous torture - the living god must be sacrificed to bring forth spring once more. It is believed that the greater and more protracted the living god's pain during this quaint old ceremony, the nicer will be the summer we get.

see rich you don't get to a position where you are responsible for enough quality stuff that you can make a decent hour-long mix out of it without a few Rituals of Unbelievably Agonising Painfulness. this is what very few people understand.

most people just see the limousines, the blondes, the incredibly desirable modular synthesiser and assume it's easy

Unfortunately no, it's middle of the workday here and didn't have the chance. Is it archived somewhere?

Not yet, but normally in a week or so it goes online and Threads will notify us and we will share it with the complete tracklist too.
