It will be an ordinary Saturday afternoon in Glasgow when you stumble upon the most extraordinary discovery. 

You’d heard whispers of this place. But today, something will feel different. The pub’s wooden doors will creak open for you by a friendly face and warm embrace, the smell of malt whiskey and Glasgow's past filling your nose. Inside, the atmosphere will be as it always was and is — dimly lit, with the chatter of locals buzzing softly, but there will be something else, something more electric in the air.

You will make your way to the back, where a hallway will lead to a little-used door, almost inconspicuous against the worn plaster.

What lies beyond won't just be another room; it will be a portal to another world.

The best sound system in the city — maybe in the entire country — The Collosus they call it, will rattle the walls.

Here, you can be anyone, or no one at all.

But this won't just be a place. This is a community, a space where you can escape, dance, and celebrate life in all it's chaotic glory. 

The very most perfect and blissful place to lose yourself, for but a while, in The Acid Arch.

RA.1000 Frankie Knuckles Pt.II (1996)

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 sound really feel like?

The Godfather of House left behind not only timeless records, but personalised cassettes with hand-drawn liner notes handed out to friends and family. Two of those, dated to 1989 and 1996, have been digitised especially for RA.1000. (Thank you to the Frankie Knuckles Foundation.)

To put that in context: the first tape predates not only many of today's active clubbers, but the entire existence of jungle, drum & bass, UK garage, French touch, Jersey club, Afrobeats, IDM, baile funk, hardcore, footwork, dubstep, dub techno, tech house, breaks, minimal, maximal, gqom, gabber, grime and hyperpop.

In short… that's a very, very long time ago. The world of dance music was much smaller. DJ culture was functionally unrecognisable from the one we see in 2025. 

And yet, to some degree, what you'll hear on RA.1000 hasn't changed at all. It's a capture of not only what made Frankie Knuckles one of the beloved pioneers of first-generation dance music, but what draws people to club culture in the first place.

The mood on these Frankie Knuckles sets outlasts even its creator: a spirit of optimism that floods the world's best dance floors and keeps dance music pulsing on into the future, nearly 40 years later, in spite of it all. We end our 1000th mix celebrations here because it all starts there.
