[Premiere] Maxi Meraki - Paradiso Erotica (Original Mix) [Sudam Recordings]

Buy / Stream: https://true-romance-records.lnk.to/DontGetTooClose

Tensnake's True Romance has amassed an expansion catalogue of dance floor music that essentially builds a bridge between Disco and House; a bridge consistently clad with flecks of Soul, Funk and plenty of exuberant energy.
The label has remained a magnet for likeminded producers who tend to reside in this bridge themselves - the next release evinces this as the Brussels based Maxi Meraki is welcomed back for his 2nd release on True Romance.
With previous releases on Spinnin' Deep, Nervous and My Other Side Of The Moon, Maxi Meraki steps up with a slick, sophisticated record which blends Chicago sentiments with blobs of Funk and neat, effective drum work.
'Don't Get Too Close' is a playful and sultry track. Swooning vocals and guitar licks are propelled by a bold, sharp synth line which demonstrates adroit management of melody and boxes off another solid addition to the True Romance catalogue.

Changes (Dandara Sound Remix)(Afro House) - 
A Dedication to My Mom :
This remix is a tribute to my mother, who left this world but will never leave my heart. "Changes" by Tupac was one of the songs I listened to often during the time when she was battling illness. With its powerful and bittersweet message about the changes in life, this song became a companion during the darkest moments.
This remix is more than just a song. It’s a piece of my soul, a symbol of the love and gratitude I feel for every sacrifice and piece of care my mom gave me. On the second anniversary of her passing, this dedication is my way of remembering her strength and the boundless love she had. I’m releasing this song as an effort to bring a new dimension to her life’s legacy and to share this memory with everyone who feels and values the endless love life gives us, even when it feels like we are losing everything.
For you, Mom, I will never forget you. This is a symbol of the everlasting memory and love I have for you. 🤍🕊️

Andrew Weatherall's first official posthumous mix. The only b2b DJ Harvey ever agreed to. Six hours at Trouw. 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 the fringe of our collective consciousness? An impossible-level IDM icon?

All tempting. But, ultimately, we are a DJ-forward publication and this is a DJ mix series. It felt truer to the history of the RA Podcast to release deep vault material from a time when the world of niche records felt different, tighter, more discrete.

The fourth-longest mix in the series' history is an unrepeatable marathon set recorded in 2012 at a superclub that no longer exists. 2012, incidentally, is farther away from 2025 than 2012 was from 2000... if we have to clock it, so do you.

It's the coming together of one British icon who passed away in 2020, and another whose time on the road has scaled back considerably as of late. DJ Harvey agreed to exactly one b2b set in his life: this one, with Andrew Weatherall.

The night took place at Trouw, an Amsterdam club already considered legendary before it shuttered its doors in the opening hours of 2015, as part of an RA series anchored around start-to-close combinations. Harvey was at the peak of an irresistible career second act, which dovetailed with a disco revival that dominated clubs for years. Weatherall, with infinite brownie points stockpiled from the '90s, remained everyone's favourite debonair psychonaut. 

What follows is 385 scintillating minutes of arpeggiated chug and slow-cresting climaxes: a moment when the resting heart rate of dance floors plunged lower than any comparable point in the 21st century. A masterclass, entirely self-contained in audio form.

If you've got time to spare, a fun side game is sussing out who plays what. A disco-dub cover of Echo & the Bunnymen? Smart money's on Weatherall. Exuberant EQ'ing of The Isley Brothers? Gotta be Harvey. As for the low 'n slow, lightly spangled house that was all the rage in the early 2010s (think Maxxi Soundsystem, Disco Bloodbath, Rub & Tug, C.O.M.B.I. and Full Pupp), it's anyone's guess. 127 BPM feels practically like an F1 car.

When we kicked off our RA.1000 campaign, we outlined a few goals: tick off a handful of long-awaited dream guests, honour architects who shaped the world around us and deliver recordings you truly can't hear anywhere else. Full send.

DJing and the mythmaking around it has undergone a quantum leap since 2012, let alone 2006, 1996 or 1989. For those of us who were kicking around in the former, there's a creeping melancholy that our prime is fast becoming a matter of historical record. The killing moon really did come too soon. 

Where will electronic music, DJ sets or any of this be in 2044? Hard to say. Best not to overthink that one. Instead, we want to say thanks to all contributors on the series so far. Now enjoy luxuriating in the company of two of the greatest to ever do it, together, for the first and last time.⁠ – Gabriel Szatan (Editor, RA)
