DOMENIC CAPPELLO  WARM UP FOR LUKE SLATER (LB.DUB CORP)@ SUB CLUB JUNE 7TH

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.

Next up for Viscera 133, we're delighted to welcome our very good pal Rosie Ama to the series!

"London-based DJ, radio host and label owner Rosie Ama operates in the outer fringes of dance music, slinging her sleazy cocktail of low-slung chuggers, leftfield house and synth-driven grooves in basements, bars, fields and clubs across the UK and beyond.

Having cut her teeth as a writer and editor for online music platforms Stamp The Wax and Ransom Note, Rosie went on to form Kiara Scuro in 2016 with her friend Nadia - a DJ and production duo with releases for the likes of fabric originals, Ritmo Fatale and Faux Poly, as well as long-standing radio residencies on Rinse FM and Balamii Radio.

After a decade together, Rosie has now turned her focus to her solo project and the trippy sonics that first ignited her passion for DJing, and continue to guide the output of her record label, Human Endeavour. Home to artists like Anastasia Zems, Justine Forever, Nandele, Medicine 8 and Thomass Jackson. 

As another outlet to share her musical discoveries, Rosie hosts a bi-monthly radio show on Bristol’s Noods Radio called Melodic Odds, which showcases the music she listens to away from the club."

For today’s mix, we’ve got a recording from Rosie’s warm up set for Optimo at Phonox, recorded on the 21st June 2025. A proper journey through the sounds she’s best known for.

Keep it locked and enjoy!

Our tenth installment of the podcast was an unforeseen and unplanned one. Often, the unforeseen, unexpected, and unplanned are unsettling, but in this case, they brought an unbelievable musical journey. We want to welcome Manfredas from our 10th installment. A bespoke selector with a musical knowledge that would fill several musical libraries, he kindly extended his Saigonese soiree and filled our Sunday session with great joy. Expect a mix that meanders, accelerates, and wanes, all over the course of 90 minutes. An unimaginable journey between genres, tempos, musical styles, and directions, showcasing the versatility of Manfredas.

“Altered Carbon” is a deep house track built around heavy synth textures and slow-burning tension. The rhythm moves with precision, every pulse wrapped in atmosphere and metallic sheen. It feels like the soundtrack to a world on the edge of sleep and surveillance — moody, dramatic, and cinematic in scope. Inspired by the tone of Altered Carbon Season 1, it captures that same blend of noir emotion and futuristic grit.
