Sunday Afternoon on a Thursday

"Man’s search for meaning in the universe; what can be said of it! Having lived for a time disguising myself as one, I am only vaguely qualified to comment. But young adulthood working as a volunteer Field Investigator for the Mutual UFO Network. MUFON is a worldwide non-profit that tracks UFO sightings, looking for a signal in the noise.

Most of the reports left much to be desired – vague reporting that lacked any detail to strike my intuition as proof of life. But there was one person whom I encountered that gave me pause, and still does as I write this now. A humble blue-collar man from the town of Rotterdam, not twenty miles from my own home. I’ve always had a failproof intuition about people & their intentions, and I felt from the moment he opened his mouth that this man was telling the truth about his sighting. He also had actual footage: a pale orange light, slowly gliding across the sky. The light passes behind a church steeple in the foreground, and then appears on the other side, moving on into the horizon. Remember reader, that this was prior to the days of smartphone video and its editability – this was VHS tape! 

In the days that followed talking with him I noted an icy, dreadful feeling growing inside of me. It culminated not long after, when I attended a regression hypnotherapist’s presentation at the New York State MUFON Chapter Annual conference. As the good doctor recanted his portfolio of abductee clients and the strange experiences they reported, I became quite nauseous and my body went into an extreme state of shock. I excused myself from the conference, and later that night, I found myself in a state of nervous breakdown. Was *I* an abductee? Had I been a passenger inside of that pale orange light in the videocassette? I don’t know the answer, but a lifelong obsession about the travails of space travel has followed.

What would it actually be like to be inside of an extraterrestrial spacecraft. Cold and sterile? Cozy and warm? Would you feel inertia, or would you feel stasis? I continue to ruminate on the topic to this day. Here is a DJ mix that explores the matter. Of course, the only important part of a DJ mix is if it has groove, but I hope it also opens up strange new worlds to you!"

For the next edition of the Significant Other Series I present my partner in Sevin, Kevin Callison!
We have been mixing records together since 2000 when we collectively acquired turntables at Wittenberg College in Ohio while also battling it out on the football field.
Clashing heads by day and beats by night (the vinyl learning curve, haha), we found our niche in the electronic realm and went on the deep dive into mixing records. We reconnected on the decks when I moved to Denver in 2010 and began playing gigs around town from the Denver Art Museum to The Funky Buddha where we started our first weekly together. Kicked off the Underground and hopped over to Milk Bar for the long run of Thursday nights in the dark room (Jazz bar). So many great memories shared behind the decks with this guy, and hopefully more to come! This mix is a small representation of some of the sound ground we have covered together over the years with some present and nostalgia tunes thrown in. As usual, all vinyl grooves for this ride - Hope you enjoy the mix!

Significant Others 03 : Kevin Callison

I will forever be a warm-up dj and have no regrets about it 

renate - the last dance

The mastermind behind Basic Channel, Hard Wax and Rhythm & Sound doesn't do mixes. For RA.1000, he made an exception.

Trace Mark Ernestus's path, and you trace the evolution of electronic sound itself. The timeline of contemporary Berlin is unimaginable without him. At first, that meant Hard Wax, the crucial hub that shaped the early era of the city's techno revolution. Carl Craig once said it plainly: "Mark was ground zero."

From there, Ernestus never stopped. There's the birth of dub techno and the near-flawless catalogue that followed through Basic Channel and Rhythm & Sound. There's his immersion in Senegalese mbalax with Ndagga Rhythm Force. Lately, that means Open Ground the Wuppertal bunker that's letting people hear music as never before.

As part three of RA.1000, Ernestus has kindly supplied his first studio DJ mix. As you might expect, it's technically immaculate, but more than that, it feels like a substantial and generous conduit to one of the world's most vital genres.

Amapiano remains underexplored in music media. Publications like our own are still learning to keep pace with the South African sound's global pull, animating millions across the globe. 

You'll hear the range and richness of the genre across the near two-hour mix, from the gothic, percussive stomp of Caltetonic's "Bambela"  to the devotional glow of GemValleyMusiq's "Something Spiritual."

Through all of this, Ernestus has remained understated. He lets the music speak for him, with a quiet honesty that lies in decades of opening doors—creating the conditions for new sounds and scenes to flourish and carry the culture forward.

RA.1000 Mark Ernestus

For RA.1000, we take it back to the source with two never-before-heard tapes from Frankie Knuckles's private collection

There is no house music without Frankie Knuckles, literally or figuratively. The queer icon's luxurious DJ sets at Chicago's Warehouse gave a rising movement its name. From there, countless offshoots splintered and travelled the globe. But what did the genesis and growth of the sound really feel like?

The Godfather of House left behind not only timeless records, but personalised cassettes with hand-drawn liner notes handed out to friends and family. Two of those, dated to 1989 and 1996, have been digitised especially for RA.1000. (Thank you to the Frankie Knuckles Foundation.)

To put that in context: the first tape predates not only many of today's active clubbers, but the entire existence of jungle, drum & bass, UK garage, French touch, Jersey club, Afrobeats, IDM, baile funk, hardcore, footwork, dubstep, dub techno, tech house, breaks, minimal, maximal, gqom, gabber, grime and hyperpop.

In short… that's a very, very long time ago. The world of dance music was much smaller. DJ culture was functionally unrecognisable from the one we see in 2025. 

And yet, to some degree, what you'll hear on RA.1000 hasn't changed at all. It's a capture of not only what made Frankie Knuckles one of the beloved pioneers of first-generation dance music, but what draws people to club culture in the first place.

The mood on these Frankie Knuckles sets outlasts even its creator: a spirit of optimism that floods the world's best dance floors and keeps dance music pulsing on into the future, nearly 40 years later, in spite of it all. We end our 1000th mix celebrations here because it all starts there.
