#87 Frinda di Lanco (vinyl) – DISCOnnect cast

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)

" Chansons du siècle dernier (1990-1996) "
-------------------------------------------------------
a mini mix of old tracks from the cassette archives.


Let's indulge in a little nostalgia for once. I'm going to talk about a period which goes from 1990 to 1996, with modest beginnings in the production of  house "musique de chambre" in which freedom and enthusiasm were more important than anything else.
Inspired by the discovery of dance music at the end of the eighties in England and through listening to the radio, I tried to reproduce what I heard with a small Casio toy sampler,  and a Mattel Electronics rhythm box played by hand. Gradually more machines were added to this primitive set-up, and by 91 i got a better sound with a Roland sampler. Like all bedroom producers of this period, you did the best you could with the means you had at your disposal, not having much idea of "how it was done". All this air of mystery contributed to the aura of the records which came out during this period.

The role played by FM radio during this time in Paris was of prime importance. For additional information I suggest you should read Etienne Menu's excellent article on this subject : http://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2015/11/french-radio-feature.
I constantly zapped between stations. Radio Nova (Deenastyle with Dee Nasty and Lionel D, Guillaume la Tortue's mental mixes in 1990, Garnier and his "paradise garage" show, the Nova mix with Loik and Gilb'r, as well as numerous different guests). 
Also  Radio FG which played ambient (the "radio mental" mix on monday) as well as hardcore techno and garage, with very good guest DJ's ( Liza N'Eliaz, DJ Deep, Jeff Mills…). Public service radio France Culture offered sound creation (in particular the famous Atelier de Création Radiophonique, Clair de nuit, and radio drama), radio Ici & Maintenant for UFO's and New Age weirdness, radio Libertaire for its "epsylonia" show, Transat FM for rare groove and so on…..
Public record libraries (which are free and well-stocked in Paris), as well as flea markets, were my main source of samples, as well as numerous musical finds.
What was most important for me was not to make a record, but above all to make music. The end product was a multitude of bits of music which I collected on cassettes over the years, recording moments of creation and fun. 
It went in all directions, from dadaist deep house to hazy trance. Freedom and lack of production techniques meant so-called rules of good or bad taste were immaterial and it was all the better for it.
There was an overpowering desire to take pleasure in doing it and experimenting ("how would it sound if I mixed a reversed zouk beat with an acid baseline?").

This minimix, which is a bit difficult to stomach when you listen to it, is interspersed with short radio extracts which take us back to the atmosphere of the period. The absolute roughness and lack of sophistication of it, the naivety and the passion make it all the more charming. 

In 1996, I sent some cassettes out to have a second opinion on them, without much conviction. The only reply came from Gilb'r who was working at Radio Nova and decided at that time to start a record label. Everything happened by trial and error and in an atmosphere of enthusiasm and curiosity. As a result of all this collective energy (big up Isabelle, Didier, Jérôme, Stephane, Ygal) and all those who joined in the adventure at some time or other, the image of Versatile has developed as each record has come out, preferring to be always a little on the sidelines, not wanting to be confined to what sound is fashionable or just restricted to dance music. Because nothing has been pre-determined, instead relying on gut-feeling on the spur of the moment, Gilbert has been able to retain this freedom and enabled his label to stand the test of time.
