Lena Willikens
Dekmantel Selectors 005
Dekmantel

Salon Des Amateurs resident and Cómeme radio show host Lena Willikens can do no wrong right now; her monumental career moves so far are proving that this year will be her strongest yet. She’s already defined herself as an expert selector, through her gigs worldwide and on the airwaves, so it’s no surprise that the tastemakers at Dekmantel have also taken heed, inviting her to mix their latest compilation.
It moves through a multitude of sounds and moods, and proudly boasts rarities and unreleased exclusives she’s already been testing out in the clubs, crossing genres from lo-fi techno to trippy electronica. The artists she’s commandeered include experimentalist Parrish Smith, Sweden’s towLie (one half of the duo Empfänger with DJ Sling), her Cómeme label mate and new wave/EBM beatmaker Borusiade and JASSS.
