Loved you guys in NYC opening for the Orb... :)

My f

05.12.13 During the storm Xaver was hitting Berlin full on this mix was done at Watergates lovely Waterfloor. 
I used 2 Technics 1210, 2 CDJ 2000 and a Allen Heath X One 92. No further edits were necessary and I used mainly records.
Thanks to the grateful Watergate stuff for opening the club 2 hours before
to give me the opportunity to mix under club conditions. Thanks also to my friend Marco Unzip being my crowd during the mix. It felt good!

Pure club tunes, live and direct from Brooklyn.

As recently as a couple of years ago, the non-New Yorkers among us could be forgiven for not knowing Anthony Parasole. These days, if you follow techno, you'd be remiss not to. Born, raised and residing in Brooklyn, Parasole came of age during the city's techno heyday, and his work as a DJ and underground party impresario in the '00s helped guide the scene through its rough patch. (See Real Scenes: New York, which features Parasole, for the full story.) With Levon Vincent, he put out a string of now-classic EPs through their Deconstruct label. But it's The Corner, April's label of the month and number eight overall in our label poll, that's put Parasole on the map internationally as a first-class selector and producer of tough techno. 

If you've slept on Parasole until now, then consider RA.395 a cold glass of water to the face. It's characteristically fierce, with a New York-centric twist or two.

What have you been up to recently?

Many things, actually. I've been busy prepping and trying to get out the next three Corner releases, which had a couple of production issues. Tom Dicicco's No Sympathy was released last week worldwide. It's a great record to close out 2013 to. I have also been on the road touring a bit, which has been nice—so many great shows I have had an opportunity to play. Recently I just moved in Brooklyn and finished building my studio and have been pretty busy writing new music for 2014. I have more solo projects coming as well as a couple of projects with Phil Moffa.

How and where was the mix recorded?

This mix was recorded at Output during off hours one late Monday night in October, to my Sony CD-R recorder. (I prefer recording mixes in one take to hard disk; this way there is no retreat, no surrender, haha.) I used a Xone:92, two Pioneer CDJs and two Technic 1200s with a grip of records and a couple of CDs. The intro was recorded using my iPhone at the 14 Street F train station. I recorded this street musician for about 25 minutes on the sneak. The way he played guitar just blew my mind, and I wanted to capture the moment. Then I completed the mix at Butcha Sound through the power of Pro Tools and Phil Moffa.

Can you tell us about the idea behind the mix?

I had many different ideas, but I scratched all of them because I didn't want to outsmart myself. I also have a few mixes online, some with ambient or different variations, so I decided to approach this mix like a pure DJ set in a club. I wanted that club feel and wanted to capture those moments that occur purely deep in the mix when it's not thought out methodically like a typical mix, and this is why I recorded it at Output. I wanted to play on a soundsytem full throttle to capture the thump, so I just hit record and played till the 80 minutes ran out.

You've been a fixture in New York's house and techno scene for ages, but you've started making inroads abroad over the last few years. Where are your favorite places to play?

One of my favorite gigs of the year was actually at home, when Danny Tenaglia asked me to play with him at Output. There really was a crazy buzz, and the room was packed by 11:30 PM, which in Brooklyn is really early. The crowd was super receptive to how and what I played, and I'm very grateful for that gig and to Danny for inviting me. Then abroad there is this great connection between Paris and NYC, and I've had so many great gigs in France, like recently at Concrete. It is just a magical venue and party put together by people who really care about the culture and music. 

I played a couple of smaller parties that blew me away. One was this little party in Tel Aviv called Resek, which had this crazy vibe in this little dark room. Another was this event called TRAXX UP! in Switzerland. The room just blew up and was electric. And of course Berlin treats me great. I am blessed to play Berghain as often as I do, and always to such a welcoming crowd! 

Your label's aesthetic identifies strongly with your hometown. Do you think The Corner could exist outside of New York?

After I started Deconstruct with Levon Vincent, the aesthetic was so minimal, and so I really wanted to capture the complete opposite of Deconstruct with The Corner. That's why I went with full-on art and full color labels. I came up through the streets and relate to it, so I wanted that feel and smell through the art. Maybe if I lived somewhere else—let's say Miami—it probably wouldn't be the same. The art would be bunch of hot, tanned Cuban girls in string bikinis and sunsets and the label would probably be named Ocean Drive, haha! I kid, but yeah, the point is I don't think the label's aesthetic would exist if I didn't grow up in Brooklyn, New York.

What are you up to next? 

I'm preparing for New Year's Eve at fabric and then New Year's Day at Melkweg in Amsterdam. For The Corner, in January we kick the year off with Pressure by Phil Moffa and myself. It will hit the shops as soon as the holidays are over, followed by Where Were You In '92 by X-Crashed (AKA Adam X), which are all produced now. I'm also sorting out the releases and schedule for 2014. So much great music to release, I really can't wait!

Andy Martin (@andy-martin) is one of my favourite musical discoveries from the last few years. A while back, after hearing an iconic tune he made called "Revolution" featuring Lee Scratch Perry, I was excited about his music, and also learning more about him as an artist. Andy is based in Guadalajara, Mexico, with Jamaican and Mexican roots.

Whilst I was touring Mexico, we shared a few gigs together, and all the locals referred to him as "the best in the country", which I can completely understand. Since discovering Andy's music I've been hooked on his productions, an incredible fuse of old school and new school dub techno, underpinned by influences from his heritage which flourish in the form of exciting percussion & unique, emotional melodies. 

On top of this, Andy is very humble, and  a very talented DJ, and I'm super happy to host him in the series. 

If you haven't heard his music, go check it out! So much to discover

Thanks again Andy <3

Animix One Hundred & Sixty Two: Andy Martin

Regis and Function's first mix in over 10 years is a unique paean to Silent Servant, heavy on unreleased material.

When it came time for RA to compile our Albums of the 2010s, one record with a tauntingly limited availability of 500 copies was never in doubt: Sandwell District's era-defining 'Feed-Forward'. Encompassing Karl O'Connor (Regis), Peter Sutton (Female), David Sumner (Function) and Juan Mendez (Silent Servant), Sandwell District had the underground in a vice grip for over a decade.

The collective imploded in 2013, with Sumner and O'Connor's relationship appearing beyond repair. And yet, an unlikely second phase is here, featuring imminent comeback LP 'End Beginnings' and their return to the RA Podcast after 16 years. In 2023, the trio of Function, Regis and Silent Servant had been performing and laying down new material before the latter's shock death last January. It's in the shadow of loss that this unique mix was forged.

Founded in 2002 as a spiritual sister to seminal Downwards, Sandwell truly began to hit its straps in the late '00s, as shadow-stalking cuts sliced through clubland orthodoxy like a switchblade. In parallel, the label's artwork—a noir recombination of Burroughs cut-ups, DIY zines and arthouse amour that Silent Servant made his own—helped fortify a movement which placed an aesthetic premium on grit, grain and sadism.

By the early 2010s, this fixation on the dark arts had utterly permeated the mood inside techno's masonic temples. Labels like Blackest Ever Black, Stroboscopic Artefacts, Avian and Modern Love were in their pomp, razorwire legends like Severed Heads and Chris & Cosey benefited from second winds, and it was briefly a jailable offence to not have a press photo in black and white. 'Feed-Forward' was the exceptional coronating statement.

RA.978 features a stack of unheard recordings from each of the trio, as well as close allies Stefanie Parnow and Tropic of Cancer, while also gathering many of Silent Servant's all-time favourite songs, including Psychic TV, Grace Jones and Galaxie 500. It's a strikingly vulnerable listen, one without many parallels on the Podcast. We're glad to run it. – Gabriel Szatan

Technology continues to improve the lives of producers, most significantly the marvel of file transfer and electronic chat. Thus now enters a production friendship which spans the great North American continent. From Vancouver comes DJ Hockey. This lithe and prodigious talent is among a close cohort of pure, renegade artists composing the PNW underground community. On any given weekend, he and others like Adam Two are hauling speakers, fast at work on a new PPRZ release, or performing around a lineup of other stalwart heroes like Juana, Lonefront, and Patrick Russell. 
Thus when listener and web browser, Associate, took notice of DJ Hockey's invigorating and stripped down techno. It only took a few listens before he began his usual direct messaging campaign of heaping praise. Associate resides in the USA capital on the east coast, Washington, DC. After a trip abroad he saw his only path forward to include production. He spent his life continuously immersed with electronic music from his erstwhile point of origin, the midwest, and after 40 or 50 plugin purchases and numerous lessons, he finally took to it. In one afternoon, he was able to remix a DJ Hockey banger and the split EP idea was born.

Ciao tutti 💖
So happy to share the recording from my last set at Open Ground from December 2024. 

It was an emotional journey ~ I wanted to tell a story of diving into underwater dream lands, where spirit guides and glitchy creatures meet and send us messages from the other side... where sound takes over the brain and opens something in the heart and body.
I waved through many genres ~ ambient, jungle, electro, dubstep, drill, jazz, techno and the wonky in-between. It felt like I had the chance to express a fuller spectrum of who I am as a music lover. 🙏

That night, I had the honour of opening for the legend Surgeon ~ someone who’s deeply inspired my path since the very beginning. Sharing that moment with him and connecting was just wow. 🥹

Open Ground truly is one of the most special places on earth ~ the care, the sound, the freedom, the community, the crew… just perfection. 

So grateful to be invited back this saturday ! (26.07.2025) 
Don’t skip ~ come sweat and feel with us 🌀💎💦

~ with love & gratitude ~

There is psychedelic techno, and then there is the earth shattering, mind-melting, wormhole inducing high-fidelity psychedelic techno of A Strange Wedding. A true master of cutting edge sound design and transcendental sets that have warped the very fabric of reality across the globe. 

This very special mix takes you deep into a galaxy of sounds, where each sonic filament is rendered with surgical precision and crystalline clarity. Tribalistic energy and alien textures combine to summon a kind of primal futurism. It is the sound of an ancient ceremony, conducted deep in the forest. 

Your gateway to the ancient future is now open.
