Amsterdam's Parrish Smith joins this month's first hour with a no frills, heavy hitting dj mix full of stealth dark wave and vampiric club ballads. Smith is co-founder of the infamous Burst City party with partner, Mila V, and you can hear the party's ethos translated into this mix - where genres blend and no limits constrain within the wave umbrella.

Ravetop closes out the show.
The Colombian artist and DJ, is known for that electro clash and italo disco and early EBM techno industrial vibes. With releases on Ombra INTL and upcoming on Rotten City Records, this mix is a nice soup of styles in the dark club sound.

NYC bred + Berlin-based Rachel Noon is a DJ who embodies pure resilience and unwavering commitment to community. Defined by a captivating singular vision and a technically-deft skill set, she has made her mark as being intentional, unpredictable, and ever-evolving. Rachel Noon seems to effortlessly shape dancefloors and communities with precision and care and is an uncompromising presence both behind the decks and on the dancefloor. A true dancefloor devotee, Noon has been hailed "equal parts DJ and rave spirit."

Track Highlight:
I love all the tracks on this mix, but I’m choosing “Relax A Little” by Code Talkers (Chris Fortier 40oz Remix) because she was a little bitch to mix—but very, very worth it. There are these unexpected spooky chime stabs with gorgeous delay that completely change the tone of the track. Plus, there’s a mischievous vocal element—I imagine the character behind it as the sonic equivalent of Aubrey Plaza giving side-eye.

Third artist to grace us in this Clone-curated month of October, The Hague’s one-and-only analogue wizard Legowelt surfaces with a mix sprawling from esoteric proto-techno to hallucinogenic electro, via trance-infused dreamscapes, eerie pop and mystique-imbued downtempo. As the true master of the synths he is, Legowelt has us traveling far and deep into a layered multiverse of dazzling hardware stutter and iridescent machine funk out a frizzling, VHS-supported headspace. Effusively vivid and durably haunting 8-bit-informed tapestries succeed through this glitchy maze of fractured tempi and vectorial stunts, cascading seamlessly as Legowelt pulls off yet another magnetic expression of retro-laced granularity and enhanced organic synthesis. Mythical.

"Combining sounds that wouldn't normally be thought of together." So reads the final line of Mexican DJ and producer 1OO1O's short-but-sweet artist bio. It's a claim many make but few pull off. Are truly new fusions still even possible in 2025? Hasn't electronic music reached saturation point? Not in the hands of 1OO1O, AKA uno cero cero uno cero, or one O O one O. 

For the best part of a decade, the Xalapa-born artist has been mashing up footwork, jungle, techno, electro, UK garage and breaks with Latin America's myriad folkloric styles, from salsa and merengue to mambo and dembow. The results, like 2023's SALSA & BREAX, or last year's SALÓN CANDELA, feel electrifyingly fresh, connecting threads across eras and traditions with a subtle dexterity. The secret is a deep respect for the source material.

Indeed, foregrounding the best of Latin America—and specifically Mexico—is the dominant theme on RA.1010 (do you like what we did there?). By his own admission, 1OO1O switched up his DJing a couple years ago to prioritise music made locally or regionally by himself and his friends. At a time when Latin American culture is both at its peak and yet still constantly "reshaping itself to accommodate tourists and 'expats,'" his sets in clubs, festivals and radio stations around the world are his way of spreading the gospel.

This 70-minute mix, then, is heavy on both Mexican talent—Regal86, DNZA, AAAA, Loris, FRAN G—and unreleased 1OO1O tracks. It's tough, rhythmic and strikingly modern, with just the right balance of light and intensity. Given the glut of local music, a late cameo from London grime MC Trim glistens like an emerald in the sun. If you want to know what the cool kids are raving to in Monterrey, Guadalajara and Mexico City right now, here's your answer. - Carlos Hawthorn

Bringing this month of Clone-ruled brilliance to a closure, legendary German act The Exaltics treat us to a face-melting avalanche of abrasive kick-n-snare-heavy assault and future-proof sound engineering. Championing that no-surrender electro pulse and the same acid-soaked dystopian atmospheres that innervate their whole discography, the two-hour set here presented showcases the uncompromising nature of The Exaltics sound: both rugged to the core and infinitely complex in its musical phrasing. The result is a highly corrosive and equally dynamic mosaic of paced-up fragments, polychromatic ambiences and that signature in-your-face punch wrapped in a post-apocalyptic cinematic envelope. Steel yourself for liftoff.
