Moonbeam Levels 012 / November 2023

feeo (aka Theodora Laird) is like a rare mineral that changes its structure according to the effects produced by other material elements and whose interior is very different from what the eye perceives at first glance. An active agent of a new wave of experimental London artists, certain modes in her outward appearance would invite one to inscribe her in the ‘’wellness trap‘’ that James Gormley detects in certain contemporary aesthetics, a silent but deceptive and morbid conception of the relations between music and society determined by the capitulation of the subject after decades of demobilisation and capitalist inversions. (We would say in both senses if English shared with Spanish the polysemy of the word "inversión", which also covers the meaning of investment).

However, feeo’s music has nothing to do with temporal paralysis. On the contrary, as shown in all her projects and collaborations—soon to be joined by a first album under the pseudonym presented here—Laird’s work is overtly aware of the problems of temporality and is therefore concerned with movement. She poetically translates different narrative forms that history borrows from literary theory, returning to the song its wide compositional possibilities and constructing politically subtle bubbles (class struggle, colonialism, Thatcherism, the feelings of the modern subject et al.) enveloped in a sometimes seemingly comfortable haze.

This podcast exposes some of the many influences, inflections and shifts in temperament of an oeuvre that encompasses whispers, musitations, wails, declamations, intonations and choirs; r&b, glitch, noise, improvisation, field recordings, doom guitars, dub and avant-garde gestures.

BPM01 Recording w/ The Room Studios [18.06.25]

On 31st July 25 - Sister Midnight FM is dedicated the airwaves to Palestine. Eight hours of music, conversation, and cultural resistance connecting liberation struggles across the diaspora.

As genocide, occupation, and apartheid continue, we’re reminded that every platform must be used to speak out against colonial violence. Radio crosses borders and, as a medium rooted in community, it becomes a vital tool for resistance, connection, and amplifying the call for Palestinian liberation.

This takeover brings together artists, organisers, and musicians - from reflective poetry and music to a live oud performance, conversations on cross-movement solidarity, and tracks that challenge corporate streaming platforms.

Featuring contributions from Nour | Kareem Samara | Nicky Boehm | zaina | Bint Mbareh | Salma ElShami | Dakn | Muqata'a | Yazan



Muqata'a [31.7.25]

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 the RA Podcast is a milestone for the series, one we've sought for over 15 years. So it was only right that Theo led off our 1000th celebrations. Recorded live at fabric last December as part of RA's party with the London club for their 25th anniversary, this three-hour segment documents the crescendo of his eight-hour marathon. 

The Detroit legend doesn't release mixes often, and when he does, they're usually studio recordings: think NTS shows, his 100% Detroit edition of DJ-Kicks or classic tapes Body (1997) and Methods of Movement (2000). A capture of the Sound Signature boss on the dancefloor is hard to come by.

Sure, there's galvanising build-ups and crowd-pleasers, but laced throughout a Parrish beatdown are rarities designed to shock the system. In a business dominated by marketing, the vinyl master towers above thanks to a relentless hunger for lustrous melodies, moods and textures of all stripes, which he and he alone can fold into an inspiring and exhilarating joyride.

On RA.1000, blissful reggae precedes new wave disco; '80s R&B morphs into synthy techno; bleepy Chicago jack makes way for a poignant vocal ballad. It's Theo through and through. Once again, he proves that anything and everything is possible with the right records.
