For RA.1000, DJ Sprinkles' first mix in over a decade is a powerful meditation on the genocide in Gaza.

Dance music often relies on simple narratives: release, escape, unity. But those narratives can often feel inadequate, and even at times, hollow. Or, as Terre Thaemlitz might bluntly put it, just "shitty."

For her first mix in around 15 years, Terre Thaemlitz AKA DJ Sprinkles, challenges us to think differently. "I felt this 1000th podcast should reflect the moment in which it was made," she told us in her Q&A.

And what is this moment? Every day since Israel's 2023 assault on Gaza began, an average of 28 children have been killed. That's an entire classroom, every day, for over 600 days (at the time of writing). It's a staggering figure that only captures a fragment of the listless cruelty imposed on the strip.

Faced with such a genocide, what can music really do? How political can it truly be?  For their RA.1000, Thaemlitz gives us an unflinching rebuke to the idea that music should provide escapism. The mix weaves ambient fragments and jazz passages, woven around samples from Israeli media and the voices of outspoken Jewish critics like Gabor Maté and Norman Finkelstein. 

The result is not just a protest, but a document of our time. For Terre Thaemlitz, music is never just music. Her RA.1000 serves as a reminder that in an age of relentless suffering, the most political act is to reject the illusion of escape, and search for something greater.

Tell me something
Tell me anything just say my
Name is stumbling 
Words are caught 
Like flies and leapers
I know something 
My best friends
Name is the reaper
Take it from him
All he says
He always lingers
Better off im dead now
Get it off my chest now
Every step i take
Another way to lay to rest how
Bitter of me lately 
I just wish he'd take me
Summer's always awful 
Winter is the one that breaks me
Down, down down down
And i know i will stay
And i know i will break
Save me from myself
I just wanna go
I just wanna leave
Take me
Ive created hell
I just wanna go
I just wanna breathe
Break me
