Edita's eighth release is entrusted to a truly unique artist with an absolutely defined style, @rebolledostyle . And in fact Holiday Rhapsody, inspired by the cult track by Mc Mike and DJ Sven from 1986, in turn inspired by Madonna's famous Holiday from 1983, is an extrasensory journey into another dimension. The power and constancy of the bass which slowly becomes hypnotic and enveloping takes us back to something primordial but is at the same time a march towards the future.

MC Miker G & DJ Sven - Holiday Rapsody (Rebolledo Edita) - OUT NOW

The first two hours of my six hour set, setting the atmosphere and listening to some deep, tripping & far out sounds on the funktion one. One of those rare nights when the flow arrives from the first moment, in a special room full of familiar faces and high spirits.

Peach Pals, Vol. 4

Wednesday morning was something else. DJ Tennis curated a full day of back-to-back sets on the Robot Heart bus, calling it Tennis Doubles. The highlight was the sunrise set with Simon, aka Bonobo. It was Simon’s first Burn and the rest is history. 🎾🌞❤️

In DJ Tennis’ words, “Robot Heart is family. When they asked me to curate the Wednesday lineup, I knew I had to bring Simon for his first Burn. That sunrise was pure magic playing side by side with an artist I deeply admire, as the desert came alive, felt like it was always meant to be. After more than a decade here, the Burn still takes my breath away like no other place.”

DJ Tennis B2B Bonobo - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2024

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 marathon set recorded in 2012 at a superclub that no longer exists. 2012, incidentally, is farther away from 2025 than 2012 was from 2000... 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 start-to-close combinations. 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 385 scintillating minutes 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. A masterclass, entirely self-contained in audio form.

If you've got time to spare, a fun side game is sussing out who plays what. A disco-dub cover 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 feels practically like an F1 car.

When we kicked off our RA.1000 campaign, we outlined a few goals: tick off a handful of long-awaited dream guests, honour architects who shaped the world around us and deliver recordings you truly can't hear anywhere else. Full send.

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)

Easy Out

Easy Out (Patlac Dub Remix)

Release Date	2012-02-20
Label	Exploited
Catalog #	EXPDIGITAL12

Currently big on Beatport in the charts with 'Claptone's - Cream', here is the next strong release on Exploited in 2012. Exploited presents the Hamburg duo ADANA TWINS - consisting of Take it Easy, the energizer and Freezo, the straight and fluffy guy - who were brought together by the power of good turkish food and the love for grooving house music. Last year they were responsible for one of the biggest tunes on Exploited in 2011: "JUICY FRUIT" - a slo-mo housed-up boogie-soul joint that was appreciated by a variety of DJs like Axel Boman, Round Table Knights, Solomun, A-Trak and many more. Now, Adana Twins are back with another hit: EVERYDAY is an updated version of a New Jack Swing Classic which has been getting a lot of support by SOLOMUN recently. Not to forget, the bonus track STRANGE: a secret weapon for the early morning hours.
