The debut of Carl Maxfield, “Aesthetics EP” is an instrumental house heaven. In a time where house music trends sound formulaic and lack feeling, the “Aesthetics EP” is seamlessly aligned with the sensibility that only the 90’s could foster. The Ep makes an interesting blend of live instrumentation and electronic programming that is both timeless and sonically versatile.
 
“The Call” is blissful Balearic deep house at its finest. Its welcoming jazzy keys and airy pads combine in a warm-hearted and unmistakably groovy introduction to open up the EP. It beckons to be played in the midst of a sunset gathering.
“True North” leads us down a deeper path, one that’s bound to make you move. Versatile and punchy, it’s tough bassline and enchanting flutes are vibrant yet subtle.
“Got This” is an underground house banger that is driven by a sophisticated and enveloping afro beat rhythms. The track features a layering of jazzy keys woven with dance floor bliss, free from concern.
“Sirius Space” is a hypnotic journey into the stars. The ethereal groove that rides beneath the Santana-esque guitar playing; it's an astro dancefloor jam.

“Aesthetics”, is the debut release from Maxfield’s label ‘Chumao records’ and is an absolute must for lovers of Golden Era House music. A truly versatile addition to a DJ’s record bag.

Ep 8 Paul's Birthday Special Sunday Service

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)

As a tribute to the late greats D'Angelo and Roberta Flack, I had the idea of mixing D'Angelo vocals and drums from his amazing Roberta Flack cover of 'Feel Like Makin' Love' with the stems of my Roberta Flack revision of the same song which includes an incredible unreleased orchestral section (check it here: https://on.soundcloud.com/k6AfLZ4gRCsORthUj2 ) into a version combining both. RIP D'Angelo & Roberta Flack x

For 26 years his djing has taken him through a myriad of genres. His former years found him slinging vinyl of Nu Jazz, Lounge, Electronic Chill, Deep House and Electronic around Brisbane's local bars and restaurants - (circa 1999). A few years on and after exploring other styles he soon found a new love for Disco, House, Funk, Soul, Nu Funk, Afro Beat, Nu Disco, Techno, Break Beat, Electro, Minimal and Tech House.  Fine tuning his selecting and crowd reading skills he soon gained the experience in sourcing tracks that kept dance floors full and venue owners happy, while gaining him the respect from his peers, promoters and venues to his dance floors as a Dj that can deliver.

Throughout this time his appreciation to varying genres and cross-over styles has shaped his often eclectic yet forward thinking sets and has seen him with residencies and slots in bars and clubs around Brisbane such as: Mr. Percivals, Elixir, Felons, Riverbar, Eleven, Can You Keep A Secret, Brewhouse, Press Club, Stoke Bar, Sundaes at Watt, Empire Hotel, Moon Bar, Family, Alhambra, Uber, Chalk Hotel, Milk Bar, The Fox Hotel, La La Land (Byron Bay), Super Whatnot and many more. Which has given him the chance to play alongside and support some of this country's and the worlds finest. Including; Ewan Pearson (U.K), Damien Lazarus (U.K), Mylo (U.K), Bass Kleph (Syd), Rephrase (Syd), Pocket a.k.a Poxymusic (Syd), Disco Pussy (Melb), Goodwill (Syd) and Slam (U.K) among others.

A lover of far too many genres and unable to settle on one, the focus is now on Deep House, Soulful House, Nu Disco, Minimal, Deep Chug and Techno, Electro to Disco, Disco Edits, Funk, Nu Funk, Rare Groove, Nu Jazz, Jazz Funk, Afro and Electronic. Enabling him to play across various venues to various crowds while keeping his sanity.

Not just confining himself to the club and bar circuit, Athol's eagerness to play somewhere different has found him djing on internet radio broadcasts, radio shows, clothing stores, fashion shows and countless corporate events.

Coming full circle, in recent times, Athol can be seen occasionally accompanying himself with world percussion to add a live and interactive element to his audience. Sharing the experience together. 




Music is the universal language we all understand in different ways and Athol will continue to share and tell his story with his own interpretation. 

Enjoy.
