Coloring Lessons Mix Series 071: Leo Luscher & Wolff

Last month I was invited to play at a small gathering for circa 100 people in a stately manner home. As I arrived I was greeted by beautiful grounds which then revealed an architectural masterpiece of a building. After looking around I got myself comfortable and met some of the weekends attendees who were really friendly and welcoming. In all honesty this party felt like the beginning of something new and exciting and it was an honour to be part of its humble beginnings. I was tasked to play for 3 hours so I am just sharing a small excerpt of the journey. 

I hope you like it :)

Some words by one of the organisers. 

In Estate @ Ingestre Hall 
Starting life as a not-so-simple three-way 40th birthday party in a 17th Century Jacobean mansion outside Stafford in 2024, a year later In Estate was born as a non-stop 40 hour celebration of electronic music and good people. 

Held in late-May 2025, attendees explored a sprawling house and its gardens, with DJs focused on the main room dedicated to up front dance floor tunes. Meanwhile, an upstairs Boudoir provided a home to more freewheeling selections - from weird pop to ambient and contemporary classical. The 100-capacity weekender went off in every conceivable way, leaving attendees tired but elated, re-energised yet exhausted.

DEEPSYSTEMS JOINT VENTURES EPISODE 5 OWEN JAY

The first half of RA.996 is Ron Trent's take on luxurious house.

As part of our countdown to RA.1000, a milestone in the 24-year history of RA's weekly mix series, we're switching up the usual format. The next few editions will pair two acts who complement each other's strengths, offering a fresh take on a particular community, scene or style. 

This week, we're zeroing in on Ron Trent and Ash Lauryn, two names who fly the flag high for old-school US house—a foundational pillar of the electronic underground. 

Trent takes the A-side. Hailing from Chicago, the birthplace of house, the pioneer is a master of finding the sweet spot where machine music meets organic instrumentation.  Listen to any DJ set or record in his extensive back catalogue and you'll find a wealth of exquisitely expressive melodies and deep, spiritual frequencies, making him the ideal narrator for any survey on house. (If you've only got a moment, sink into "Morning Factory," nine minutes of perfection.) 

Trent's return to the RA Podcast, 19 years after his debut in 2006, represents his many decades of expertise in fusing funk with gorgeous musicianship under the umbrella of heart-stirring house. Some may call it a masterclass but to us, it's just Trent doing what he does best.

Listened to as a whole, RA.996 is a powerful snapshot of house's elegance, class and most importantly, understated yet innately euphoric joy.

Part two of RA.996 comes from a modern-day house luminary. 

As part of our countdown to RA.1000, a milestone in the 24-year history of RA's weekly mix series, we're switching up the usual format. The next few editions will pair two acts who compliment each other's strengths, offering a fresh take on a particular community, scene or style.

This week, we're zeroing in on two names who fly the flag high for old-school, US  house—a foundational pillar of the electronic underground. The first half comes from Ron Trent, which you can read more about here. 

On the B-side is Ash Lauryn. Hailing from Detroit, she's a modern-day house savant. Her comprehensive understanding of the genre's history—knowledge gained from the Detroit greats who that inspired her—and her own inimitable blend of old-world soul meets new-school grooves make her a force to be reckoned with. 

A former RA contributor, Lauryn keeps it <i>real</i>, whether in the booth or beyond. A role model to a new generation of DJs, she can just as easily be found teaching workshops at Underground Music Academy in Detroit or sharing tricks of the trade in the green room at some of the best clubs in the world.

An unwavering champion of Black dance music, the Atlanta resident makes it a point to play as much Black American music as possible, as she told us in her 2019 podcast. Not much has changed since then. Her contribution to RA.996 spans favourites like Larry Heard, Mood II Swing, Byron The Aquarius, Moodymann, Ron Trent and plenty of Detroit heavy-hitters.

Listened to together, both mixes are a powerful snapshot of house's timeless elegance and, most importantly, understated yet innately euphoric joy.

DJ JUS-ED LIVE AT PUBLIC RECORDS 04.07.2025

Gravitic

At times majestic, at times graceful, the melody evokes the image of a Morpho butterfly its color shifting depending on the angle.
That iridescent, mysterious blue feels harmless at first, yet carries an enchanting allure that’s hard to escape once you’re drawn in.
