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 masterclass, recorded in 2012 at a superclub that no longer exists. (2012, incidentally, is farther away from 2025 than 2012 was from 2000, and 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 rare combinations playing start-to-finish. 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 a 385-minute marathon 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. 

If you've got time to spare, a fun side game is sussing out who plays what. Disco-dub covers 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 practically feels like an F1 car.

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

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)

2hrs recorded live from Magnetic Fields Festival & my first ever live mix

Under the velvet drapes of the Peacock Club in the Rajasthan desert last December we celebrated 10 years both of Rhythm Section & Magnetic Fields. The whole experience really did feel like a dream, filled with the most wonderful colours, sounds & characters. Thank you to the dancers, the festival & all the folk involved in making this experience one of the most magical I’ve had to date. I hope some of this shines through in the recording.

Get it:  https://camelriders.bandcamp.com/album/nato-fr-echoes-of-djembeya-ep-incl-remixes-by-rodrigo-gallardo-mr-raoul-k-max-tenrom-de-las-esferas-and-m-quina-palenquera
The French nomad returns to Camel Riders wih his debut EP delivering a rich and immersive journey inspired by the rhythms of Central, West, and Southern Africa. Across three original tracks - Joya, Echoes of Djembeya, and Baako -
Nato blends earthy percussion, uplifting flutes, melodic strings, and enchanting vocals with subtle electronic grooves, creating a warm and organic soundscape rooted in African heritage.

The EP is completed by four outstanding remixes that bring a deeper and more club-oriented electronic energy. First we have the privilege to have back on Camel Riders the acclaimed Chilean multi-instrumentalist producer Rodrigo Gallardo, alongside Argentinian producer and percussionist De Las Esferas. Together, they deliver a driving and colorful Organic House reinterpretation of Joya, infused with Latin warmth and rhythmic flow. From the south of France, Max TenRom offers a hypnotic Afro House remix of Baako, marked by groovy percussion and infectious rhythms.

Making his debut on the label, the legendary MR Raoul K from Ivory Coast presents a powerful, dancefloor-focused version of Baako, blending deep African roots with refined German electronic aesthetics shaped by his years in Hamburg. Closing the EP, Máquina Palenquera reimagines Echoes of Djembeya through the lens of Colombia’s Bullerengue rhythms, fused with Afro House elements for a warm and energetic finale.
