RA.1053 Public Service
New York summertime in all of its glory.
New York City has had an epic few months. From clinching a milestone NBA Championship title, to Mayor Mamdani rolling out affordable housing and fixing potholes, to World Cup fever, the summer of 2026 has (for the most part) been a rush of pure elation for residents. Soundtracking it all is Public Service.
Even if there's no special occasion, the atmosphe
RA.1052 The Bug
The titan of UK bass delivers a head trip through dub's past, present and future, one year on from RA.1000.Time has a way of slipping through the fingers.
A year ago, RA.1000 marked the 1,000th release in the RA Mix series. Now, 52 weeks on, we've arrived at RA.1052—and first up is Kevin Richard Martin, AKA The Bug, finally making his long-awaited debut on the series.
Ask anyone who's stood wi
RA.1051 Mietze Conte
An antidote to the summertime banger, with an hour of breezy ambient from the Vienna artist.
When we picture the summertime banger, we picture high energy. But with record-breaking heatwaves from South Korea to the South of France, a different soundtrack makes sense.
Cue RA.1051. Across an hour of woozy lo-fi electronics—many his own productions—Mietze Conte offers the alternative, inspired, as
RA.1050 O Ghettão
The Príncipe all stars transmit the future sound of batida, live from Waking Life.
In theory, a supergroup should be a carefree yet thrilling assembly of well-known talents, bound to multiply each other's creative output. But in practice, bringing out the best in every artist on stage, especially for electronic musicians, most of whom are used to working solo, is not an exact science. O Ghettão—t
RA.1049 Topdown Dialectic
The long-anonymous Peak Oil favourite breaks cover with two hours that run from post-punk and dub to vintage New York house.
Mystery is a powerful force. What stays unknown stays enticing—negative space the listener fills in for themselves. Minimalists may be its largest constituency, and few have held the line as long as Topdown Dialectic.
That changed with False LP A, which finally named him:
RA.1048 Traumer
A masterclass in the art of the all-nighter, as one of France's finest purveyors of funk delivers six hours live from Robert Johnson.
What does minimal sound like in 2026? Ask five DJs and you'll get five answers, from the acidic electro and techno of Montevideo to the dubby loops of Montreal. A real contender for the face of contemporary minimal, though, is Romain Poncet, AKA Traumer.
Poncet is
RA.1047 deep creep
77 minutes of wickedly twitchy grooves from the belly of the New York underground.
"Music is meant to be shared. Music is meant to be shared. Music is meant to be shared."
This phrase is written again and again in the About section for the mix series and label pi pi pi. For deep creep, the force behind the popular platform, it serves as a radical promise: music is, and must always be, collectiv
RA.1046 Jennifer Loveless
90 minutes of scintillating house and techno, primed for the heart of summer.
There's something delightfully paradoxical about Jennifer Loveless. Her productions skew hedonistic yet minimal; her DJing feels both spacey and oceanic. Hell, even her artist bio underlines her taste for opposites: "Jennifer Loveless is contrary to her name, all heart."
This yin and yang runs through RA.1046. Built ar
RA.1045 Christian AB
Two sublime hours of house and techno from the Berlin-based DJ and producer, making his long-awaited RA Mix debut.
Before clubs shut down in 2020, Christian AB was one of the underground's best-kept secrets. The London-born DJ built a cult following through sets that fused deep house, techno and impossibly rare records, earning a reputation as an IYKYK selector with encyclopaedic taste. Now based
RA.1044 Love Injection
A lesson in universal love, told via deep club grooves.
When future heads look back at New York nightlife from the mid-2010s onwards, the name Love Injection will stand out.
As historians, stewards and disciples of underground dance music, Barbie Bertisch and Paul Raffaele live and breathe the culture's inclusive, anti-commercial and anti-egotistical ideals. Underlining their myriad pursuits–DJi
EX.802 Bladee
The Drain Gang cofounder talks about mysticism, Gen Z and his new album, Sulfur Surfer.
Bladee's work as a founding member of the Swedish collective Drain Gang has shaped a new generation of underground music. The group's sound, which is rooted in cloud rap and Auto-Tune experimentation, and pulls from trance, noise, metal, goth and grunge, has earned them an enormous following of fans—AKA "drain
RA.1043 Pretty Girl
90 minutes of wistful house from a talented Steel City Dance Discs affiliate—perfect for easing into the night or winding down after the party.
Since Resident Advisor dubbed Pretty Girl "a star in the making" in 2023, the Melbourne DJ has played Coachella, gone viral on Boiler Room, and remixed Romy and Fred Again.. But she’s taken stardom on her own terms. Instead of stadium-ready adrenaline, he
RA.1042 Soft Crash
Seven hours of camp, chug and genre-hopping hedonism from techno's two princes of darkness, recorded live at Kyiv's ∄.
Hear the names Hayden Payne, aka Phase Fatale, and Pablo Bozzi, and it might conjure visions of dark techno. As Berghain and KHIDI residents, both artists are synonymous with the heavier strands of misfit dance music.
But Soft Crash, their lockdown-born joint venture, offers so
RA.1041 Chlär
Entirely unreleased, undeniably funky techno.
Charles Accarisi, AKA Chlär, treats techno like a science. From his earliest days as an audio engineer, the Lisbon-via-Switzerland artist has approached techno with the precision of a seasoned experimentalist, dissecting our love of listening to kick drums in dark, sweaty clubs down to its very bones.
Before launching his label, Primal Instinct, in 2
RA.1040 Clementaum
The São Paulo-based artist tears through baile funk, ballroom, Latin club and techno in a turbo-charged showcase of global club music's cutting edge.
Take one look at Clementaum behind the decks and she seems less like a DJ than a force of nature. Dressed to the nines and usually keeping time with a fan, she mixes impossibly chaotic drum patterns that ricochet from baile funk to ballroom, Baltimo
RA.1039 K Wata
Sleek, sensual bass science from the NYC SLINK boss, sketching a new blueprint for dub in the 2020s.
Kenzo Perron, AKA K Wata, uses bass the way a poet uses punctuation. Sub weight, subtle wobbles and snaking rhythms become commas, dashes and periods—tiny gestures that shape movement, tension and release.
Perron's sound sits somewhere between the cavernous minimalism of Rhythm & Sound and the wi
RA.1038 The Trip
90 minutes of blissful, sun-soaked house from the essential UK producer duo.
For a certain type of DJ, a record from The Trip is a buy-on-sight proposition. Even if the name is new, you’ve likely heard their tracks in sets from Job Jobse, Shanti Celeste or Avalon Emerson. With a catalogue full of records equally at home at Pitch Music & Arts or fabric Room 2, Oliver Hiam and Max van Dijk have loc
RA.1037 Lola Haro
The emergent star of the Belgian underground delivers 80 minutes of spectral techno, electro and leftfield obscurities.
Lola Haro has clubbing in her DNA. The Brussels-based DJ grew up around electronic music, with parents who were regulars at Antwerp’s Café d’Anvers and a childhood shaped by record stores and a household soundtracked by Villalobos mixes.
Since emerging in the late 2010s, she’s
RA.1036 Tony Humphries
A rare snapshot of house music's early days, captured through an unheard 1986 broadcast from the East Coast pioneer.
For Humphries' long overdue debut on the RA Mix series, we publish an original, unedited radio recording from 1986, during Humphries' glorious reign over KISS FM's airwaves at the right hand of Shep Pettibone. Drawn from Humphries' own archives, the Running Back-sanctioned release
RA.1035 RHR
The star of São Paulo chops up 60 minutes of futuristic, global club sounds.
It's an oft-heard cliché to describe an artist as truly singular. But with Roniere Santos, AKA RHR, it couldn't be more true. Part of a generation of Brazilian and Latin American artists reshaping club music, Santos and his peers have propelled it to unprecedented global reach. His sets—fearsome, bass-driven and unbound
RA.1034 RamonPang
A maximalist sprint through IDM and acid from the Filipino DJ, producer and lore magnet.
Ramon Tambucon is, in his own words, "an EDM trap oldhead" through and through. But he takes his work seriously: on TikTok, the LA-based artist has become Gen Z's de-facto electronic music historian, equally at home with Mark Fisher and Skrillex, and has even featured in Forbes discussing IDM.
His world exte
RA.1033 Isaac Carter
The lost art of the slow burn, courtesy of the rising London house DJ.
In an attention economy, where hype cycles rise and fall faster than ever, our careers, our lives and our club nights are increasingly structured around instant gratification. But not Isaac Carter. The London artist's approach to DJing is understated and unhurried. You'll still find his RA Mix charged with serious bursts of p
RA.1032 Fcukers
'90s nostalgia, big beat and bargain-bin house courtesy of the NYC dance-pop duo.
Fcukers don't really care about success. Or at least, that's how it started. "We don't give a shit. We're not going to have a music career. Who cares? We're going to do exactly what we want," Jackson Walker Lewis told Rolling Stone, recalling the duo's early mindset. The origin of their name, lifted from the iconoc
RA.1031 Priori
A key architect of the 2020s underground debuts on the RA Mix.
Scroll through end-of-year features or the tracklists of a certain kind of new-school techno DJ, and Priori is rarely far away. The Montreal artist has built a reputation as a kind of studio chameleon, working with the biggest names across the underground. Whether it be james K, Tiga or Paul St. Hilare, or his work co-running naff rec
RA.1030 Main Phase
The ATW Records boss and honorary prince of UK Garage steps up with a mix that might surprise you.
From the post-lockdown school of UK garage producers, Adam Emil Schierbeck, AKA Main Phase, is a rare international graduate. The Copenhagen producer has closely studied the British sound, shaping an international garage revival in his wake.
Schierback stands as one of UK Garage's premiere tastema
RA.1029 Valentina Magaletti
The singular percussionist turns inward for a rare solo excursion.
Valentina Magaletti at the drums is a picture of freedom: laughing, loose-limbed, entirely absorbed. For RA.1029, the London-based percussionist channels that instinct into a rare solo outing—a personal excursion through her musical archive. The atmosphere moves as freely as she plays, shifting from ominous and claustrophobic pass
RA.1028 DJ Plead
A kaleidoscope of polyrhythms and post-dubstep.
"Music was a way to speak Arabic… It's my way of being confident that I am, in fact, Lebanese," Jared Beeler AKA DJ Plead told Crack Magazine in 2022.
Often framed as an Australian producer threading Arabic rhythmic structures through techno and post-dubstep, DJ Plead's music is better understood as tradition embedded inside contemporary club forms
RA.1027 JADALAREIGN
Two hours of groove, texture and Black excellence from new-school New York royalty.
New York native JADALAREIGN has always represented Black excellence, but in recent years her vision crystallised. The in-demand act and former Nowadays booker has fine-tuned her creative practice, experimenting with tempo and selection in ways that have led to a deep, nuanced relationship with Black artistry, one
EX.788 Kim Gordon
The Sonic Youth cofounder opens up about her solo output, the intersection of art and music, and her new album, PLAY ME.
For over four decades, Kim Gordon has navigated the edges where fine art meets noise. Her claim to fame was as a founding member of Sonic Youth, the band that took the nihilistic, abrasive energy of New York's no wave scene and forged it into a new language for rock.
After Son
RA.1026 Carl Craig, Moodymann & Mike Banks
A b3b for the ages, straight from Detroit techno's Hall of Fame.
"Let's just go through some shit, let's see what we got here." In that unmistakable drawl, Moodymann opens RA.1026—and from there, you know you’re in good hands.
Mike Banks, Carl Craig and Moodymann are artists of the utmost standing. As founders of Underground Resistance, Planet E and Mahogani Music respectively, their catalogues
RA.1025 OMOLOKO
The Brazilian party starter unveils 60 minutes of sun-drenched house.
Minas Gerais isn't the typical Brazil of postcards. Yet from this landlocked terrain emerged one of its most accomplished sons. As OMOLOKO, João Vitor has mastered the art of summoning summer on the dance floor. Armed with a pair of CDJs and a USB, he carries sun-kissed house dreams shaped by countless hours lost in Discogs rab
RA.1024 African-American Sound Recordings
The Memphis artist also known as Cities Aviv delivers 60 minutes of stirring electronics and industrial abstractions.
Since his first release in 2010, Gavin Mays, AKA African-American Sound Recordings and Cities Aviv, has been living multiple lives. The D.O.T. label boss has put out work under various aliases, spanning post-hip-hop, ambient electronics and soul-inflected abstraction, consistently
RA.1023 Decoder
The Texan prodigy transmits the sound of sci-fi techno in 2026.
What does the future feel like in 2026? In an era dominated by nostalgia and electronic revivalism, even techno—a genre once defined by futurism—has begun to feel stagnant. Enter Gautham Garg, aka Decoder. Raised in Dallas, the 21-year-old offers a refreshed vision of techno for the present moment.
While comparisons to techno starga
RA.1022 KAVARI
The newest XL signing delivers 60 minutes of blistering explorations across the hardcore continuum.
Don't expect KAVARI to take anything too seriously. The Glasgow-based artist thrives on contradiction: a pop-adjacent instinct colliding with a love of discomfort, abrasion and noise.
After years of releasing independently, 2026 marks a new chapter with PLAGUE MUSIC, her debut on XL, out in Febr
RA.1021 Katatonic Silentio
Sensational ambient techno, dub pressure and acoustic visions, sculpted for dreaming and dancing.
In 2023, we called Mariachiara Troianiello one of techno's most exciting producers. And time has only confirmed that statement.
Belonging to a new school of head-spinning artists following in the lineage of Donato Dozzy and Cio D'or, the Turin producer put out her debut EP as Katatonic Silentio, E
RA.1020 crimeboys
Stumble into 2026 with the 3XL favourites' uncanny vision of ambient.
It's become a tradition that the first RA Mix of every year eases listeners into January with soft, gentle and unhurried tones. For RA.1020, though, crimeboys take a different approach.
Made up of Ben Bondy, Special Guest DJ and Pontiac Sterator, the US trio are all loosely associated with 3XL. Over the past decade, the Berl
RA.1019 OK Williams
We close out 2025 with a rare studio mix from the gifted London DJ.
DJing is a craft. It reveals itself over time rather than all at once, and few embody that better than OK Williams. Active since 2019, the London DJ has built a reputation through steady accumulation rather than acceleration, becoming one of the city's most trusted and widely admired selectors in the process.
Williams has never
RA.1018 DJ Love, DJ Danz and DJ Ericnem
"The Budots Three" showcase the thrilling sound of Filipino dance music.
If you were on TikTok in the summer of 2024, there is a good chance you heard "Emergency Budots (Paging Doctor Beat)." The DJ Johnrey track spread fast, soundtracking countless dance clips, and just as quickly sparked a wave of corrections. Budots, viewers were told, wasn't new. And most people weren't dancing it right.
To
EX.786 Barker
The Leisure System co-founder talks psychology, behavioral science and his standout album of the year, Stochastic Drift.
Sam Barker's influence on contemporary electronic music culture spans many levels—not only as a producer and DJ pushing against traditional genre boundaries, but also as key figure behind the scenes as head of the label Leisure System. He came into RA HQ to talk about the centr
RA.1017 Unai Trotti
The London-via-Bilbao DJ marks 15 years of Cartulis with two hours of punchy techno and electro, recorded live at FOLD.
When you think of London label and party Cartulis, dark, muscular electro and tough tech house spring to mind. But the name is more revealing than it first appears: in founder Unai Trotti's native Bilbao dialect, cartulis translates to "nerd." Like any labour of love, the projec
RA.1016 Mala
One of the defining producers of the 21st century steps up for a rare, era-spanning mix.
We've been in a reflective mood lately. All things bend around eventually, but if you lived through the mid-'00s the first time, it felt tricky to envision some specifics of those interim years making a second splash. More fool us. Amongst many other things, dubstep is well and truly back.
This appetite for
RA.1015 Dave Huismans
A statement mix from the Dutch artist also known as A Made Up Sound, 2562 and ex_libris.
What makes something sound like Dave Huismans? His music carries a signature you can't quite name, a tension which has defined every chapter of his career. And unlike most producers, he really does operate in phases.
A man of many monikers, Huismans resurfaced this year after nearly a decade away with two
RA.1014 Wax'o Paradiso
A sun-soaked broadcast from two of Naarm's most loved selectors.
Asked once how the name for their joint project started, Simon TK and Edd Fisher responded casually: "We were asked to produce a record fair many moons ago, Wax'o Paradiso was the name of that event," they recounted in an interview.
Happy accident or not, the name rings true more than a decade later. What started as a record fair
RA.1013 Kilopatrah Jones
A lesson in "diva house and horniness" from a modern New York darling.
Ask Kilopatrah Jones who their favourite DJ is, and they'll give you an unequivocal answer: Junior Vasquez. And the influence is telling. Both born and raised in Queens, the two share a sense of house as a life force. Not in a new-age, spiritual sense. For Jones, it means being "sweaty, panting and free."
The NYC DJ can pl
RA.1012 LSDXOXO
57 minutes of sharp, fast, freaky techno from the underground pop star.
Long before SoundCloud made him famous, RJ Glasgow was already producing edits from his bedroom in Philadelphia. The artist now known as LSDXOXO spliced R&B classics with DMX Krew and Madonna, then graduated from bedroom producer to internet provocateur with his 2010 mix series Spit or Swallow, where La Roux met Ratatat and R
RA.1011 Carrier
Dubwise atmospherics flood Guy Brewer's third RA Mix.
Hear the word "Dionysus" and you picture the Greek god of ecstasy: overflowing tables, delirious revelry, chaos. Not the austere soundworld of Guy Brewer, AKA Carrier. On the surface, the UK artist's latest alias feels almost Spartan. But look closer and the Dionysian link starts to show: it's about shedding fixed forms and identities, to all
EX.781 Paul van Dyk
The German legend talks about the state of modern trance, what it takes to create a legacy and writing his most recent album.
Poll the average dance music fan and they'll have almost certainly heard of Paul van Dyk. The German DJ and producer is so synonymous with trance that it's impossible to talk about the genre's history without mentioning his name. He's also been one of the most successful e
RA.1010 1OO1O
"Combining sounds that wouldn't normally be thought of together." So reads the final line of Mexican DJ and producer 1OO1O's short-but-sweet artist bio. It's a claim many make but few pull off. Are truly new fusions still even possible in 2025? Hasn't electronic music reached saturation point? Not in the hands of 1OO1O, AKA uno cero cero uno cero, or one O O one O.
For the best part of a decade,
RA.1009 Shinichi Atobe
The first-ever live recording from an elusive icon of dubby electronic music.
Lore is an underrated quality. Neuroscientists have mapped that music elicits similar feelings in the brain to when we satiate cravings, but what about the psychological impulse that drives listeners of a certain disposition toward everything they don't know?
It's tricky to put your finger on, but artists able to conju
EX.778 Batu
There are few names as widely loved in clubland as Bristol-based producer Omar McCutcheon, AKA Batu.
His label Timedance, currently celebrating its ten-year anniversary, has been instrumental in shaping a certain corner of contemporary electronic music. It champions a mutant, rhythmic, UK-flavoured sound that escapes any obvious genre touchstones, as well as spotlighting the careers of artists li
RA.1008 Enzo Siragusa
A joyride through rave-ready tech house, speed garage, jungle and more.
To the casual onlooker, Enzo Siragusa may seem easy to pigeonhole as just a UK DJ playing chunky house music. Wrong. The Maidenhead native has serious pedigree, earned from 30-plus years fully immersed in the rave, first as a dancer at jungle and hardcore parties, then as a hobby DJ and finally as the cofounder of one of Lond
RA.1007 mi-el
The gifted London DJ and curator goes big on bass futurism.
"To pull a thread." This old English adage means to follow a small detail that might unravel into something larger and more significant. It's also the inspiration behind London artist mi-el's NTS Radio show, and a neat way of understanding her approach as a DJ.
Take mi-el's rich archive of mixes. From NTS to The Trilogy Tapes, they sho
RA.1006 Collabs 3000
Three hours of incendiary techno, as two veterans go head-to-head.
When Speedy J described his studio dynamic with Chris Liebing back in 2014, he put it bluntly: "I try to piss him off a little." The result? Dance music that's as functional and precise as Liebing demands, with just enough chaos to keep it interesting. That tension has defined the duo's partnership, Collabs 3000, since their first
RA.1005 Lucrecia Dalt
A rare mix from the critically acclaimed experimentalist.
Lucrecia Dalt isn't your typical electronic artist. The Colombian singer and composer approaches music-making in the way a fantasy writer builds worlds. Over the past two decades, she's produced a catalogue that reads more like a bookshelf of strange, interlinked novels, each with its own laws, characters and textures, extending the one be
RA.1004 dj sweet6teen
Sultry low-end grooves from a rising house enchantress.
"What kind of music do I actually want to play?" Every artist asks themselves this at some point in their career. What is a sound? And why do we personally identify with it? For Lea Lang, AKA dj sweet6teen, this question is the guiding force behind her RA Mix.
Born in Aachen, a German spa city close to the border with Belgium, Lang found he
RA.1003 XDB
The German minimal DJ returns to the spotlight with two hours of artfully subtle house and techno.
There's an old German proverb that goes "Der stete Tropfen höhlt den Stein." Literally, it means a constant dripping wears away the stone, but the point isn't about force but patience: slow, steady repetition can leave the deepest mark. It's an apt metaphor for the career of Kosta Athanassiadis, bet
RA.1002 Nooriyah
From speed garage to Arabic pop, one hour of borderless club energy from the Saudi DJ and curator.
"We're making history tonight," hollered the MC at the start of Nooriyah's London Boiler Room in 2022. Sat next to the decks was her baba (Arabic for father), dressed in traditional Saudi garb. He opened the one-hour performance by playing the oud, a Middle Eastern instrument similar to a lute. Sur
RA.1001 Adrian Sherwood
Expansive dub vibrations from the On-U Sound maestro.
Adrian Sherwood has spent nearly five decades reshaping how dub is heard and felt. From absorbing reggae and funk as a teenager at the Newlands Club in High Wycombe to cofounding On-U Sound in 1979, he’s been a restless force in British sound system culture. His debut production, Dub From Creation, signalled his instinct to twist the Jamaican
RA.1000 DJ Harvey & Andrew Weatherall
Andrew Weatherall's first official posthumous mix. The only b2b DJ Harvey ever agreed to. Six hours beamed in from 2012. This one's special.
When mulling which direction to go in for RA's 1000th mix celebrations, many options came to mind. Some shadowy character 2-stepping around our collective consciousness? An impossible-level IDM icon?
All tempting. But, ultimately, we are a DJ-forward public
RA.1000 Frankie Knuckles
For RA.1000, we take it back to the source with two never-before-heard tapes from Frankie Knuckles's private collection
There is no house music without Frankie Knuckles, literally or figuratively. The queer icon's luxurious DJ sets at Chicago's Warehouse gave a rising movement its name. From there, countless offshoots splintered and travelled the globe. But what did the genesis and growth of the
RA.1000 Jyoty
A four hour document of dance floors in the 2020s, from one of modern club music's most passionate advocates.
One major shift since we went 5 for RA.500 ten years ago has been the rapid adoption of anything-goes DJing. What goes us there? Upgraded technology, audience appetite for thrills, instant access to music from every corner of the globe: take your pick.
To corral the infinite possibilitie
RA.1000 Helena Hauff
One of the enduring powerhouses of our era returns for RA.1000 with a riotous mix.
When Helena Hauff made her first RA Podcast appearance back in 2013, she was on the eve of releasing her debut production on Actress' Werkdiscs imprint. In the 12 years that have elapsed, she's become not just a household name within electronic music, but the kind of rare talent that lives in seclusion from industr
RA.1000 Bicep
The arena-conquering duo glide from gritty rave to skyscraping arpeggios on RA.1000, a mix many years in the making.
A new name undeniably entered the pantheon of major electronic live acts over the past decade: next to Faithless, The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers, now sit @feelmybicep.
The Belfast duo's music doesn't half reach for the stars: a melodic blend of ambient, breakbeat, trance an
RA.1000 Terre Thaemlitz / DJ Sprinkles
For RA.1000, DJ Sprinkles' first mix in over a decade is a powerful meditation on the genocide in Gaza.
Dance music often relies on simple narratives: release, escape, unity. But those narratives can often feel inadequate, and even at times, hollow. Or, as Terre Thaemlitz might bluntly put it, just "shitty."
For her first mix in around 15 years, Terre Thaemlitz AKA DJ Sprinkles, challenges us to
RA.1000 Tim Reaper
Seven and a half exhilarating hours from one of modern club's sharpest.
Tim Reaper's mammoth entry for RA.1000 is all about range. You thought the Future Retro London boss was just a jungle and hardcore head? Think again.
The mix's infinite-scroll tracklist (the longest we've ever published in full!) includes a who's who of top-rate producers, from A Guy Called Gerald and Cari Lekebusch to Batu,
RA.1000 Mark Ernestus
The mastermind behind Basic Channel, Hard Wax and Rhythm & Sound doesn't do mixes. For RA.1000, he made an exception.
Trace Mark Ernestus's path, and you trace the evolution of electronic sound itself. The timeline of contemporary Berlin is unimaginable without him. At first, that meant Hard Wax, the crucial hub that shaped the early era of the city's techno revolution. Carl Craig once said it pl
RA.1000 Sama' Abdulhadi
RA.1000 continues with the pride of Palestine's techno scene, Sama' Abdulhadi.
What makes the sound of resistance? For Palestinian DJ and producer Sama' Abdulhadi, it's the freedom to explore her artistic expression in all its authenticity and complexity. What stands out in her mix for our 1000th celebration is defiant energy, the kind that galvanises more than just dance floors.
Born in Ramalla
RA.1000 Theo Parrish
RA.1000 launches with Theo Parrish, live at fabric: a vanishingly rare club mix from the king of deep crates and impossible transitions.
There are DJ sets and then there are Theo sets. No matter how many times you've caught him in action, every time still feels like the first. Running hot, levels smoking, isolator working over time. You think you know dance music? Think again.
Parrish's debut on
RA.999 Sonja Moonear & Margaret Dygas
Part four of RA.999: the sound of shared history, courtesy of two legends of minimal house in full flow.
A lot can happen in 20 years. Especially in dance music, where movements rise, collide and dissolve at dizzying speed. It takes conviction, dynamism and a formidable record collection to stay the course.
That’s why Margaret Dygas and Sonja Moonear have remained such enduring underground favou
RA.999 DJ Spinn & DJ Manny
Part three of RA.999: a celebration of soulful footwork and the timeless influence of DJ Rashad.
As we gear up to celebrate the 1,000th episode, RA.999 lands with five mixes across five days. First up was 1morning and Regal86, then Prosumer and Peach. Today, we turn our eyes to Chicago, with two of footwork staples, DJ Spinn and Manny, taking the reins of the third installment of RA.999 (both mak
RA.999 Prosumer & Peach
Part two of RA.999: two NYC Downlow favourites go back-to-back for the first time with a jubilant homage to classic house.
The RA Podcast launched 19 years ago in 2006, making it one of the world's longest-running online mix series. As we gear up to celebrate the 1,000th episode, RA.999 lands with five mixes across five days with a cohort of artists who've left a singular mark on electronic music
RA.999 1morning & Regal86
Five days, five mixes. RA.999 launches with two of the 2020's most exciting techno producers tearing a portal to the future.
When it comes to purveyors of contemporary hardgroove, it's hard to top 1morning and Regal86. The duo have emerged from a buzzy, and decidedly funk-oriented techno scene on the American West Coast, repping Los Angeles and Monterrey respectively. Bound by a shared love of ol
RA.998 Roza Terenzi
The trance queen opens RA.998 with her cheeky, break-heavy vision.
The RA Podcast began with RA.001 in 2006. Since then, it's spotlighted the best and brightest in dance music every week, without fail. As we approach our 1,000th episode next month, we're switching things up, pairing artists whose sounds complement one another and, in doing so, zeroing in on the forces shaping the past, present an
RA.998 Kim Ann Foxman
A queer icon steps up for RA.998's B-side.
The RA Podcast began with RA.001 in 2006. Since then, it's spotlighted the best and brightest in dance music every week, without fail. As we approach our 1,000th episode next month, we're switching things up, pairing artists whose sounds complement one another and, in doing so, zeroing in on the forces shaping the past, present and future of electronic c
RA.997 Bitter Babe
