21.1

'twas a breezy & bright easter Monday morning. The air was warm and it filled our lungs with optimism. The mudlarks & magpies chirped a-like, filling the space with harmonies & song. Oranges were squeezed & celery sticks munched. Bellies full of laughter & upturned lips. The tree gently swayed above us & the bodies moved in unison. Protected, together, our nest.  Looks shared, turn for turn, a partnership. Smoke rises, rays part through. "Friends for life?" "Okie Dokie!"

Mellow to its core, this one invites you to hit recline and see where the vibe might take you. One for the boom bappers and the chill steppers!

A little bit about the mix..

@djpossums:

Collaborating with Myles is fun because it's where we find a point of intersection with our djing styles and music tastes. I'm an unpinned DJ in terms of genre but together we find cohesiveness to tell a story that is reminiscent of our upbringings and nostalgic memories; UK Underground street soul, 90s Hip Hop, funny South African Kwaito tunes that we sing along to even though we don't know the language, soulful electronic love songs, early house classics and many more..

Some pretty banging songs that are precious to me from the message in the lyrics, the feeling they create, the fun vibes or just their awesome production are: Can't Stop (One World 12'' Mix) by After 7, U.N.I.T.Y. by Queen Latifah, Scratched by Etienne de Crecy and the Brazilian balearic classic Tudo Faz Sentido by Taciana to name a few.

@myles-mac:

One of the few upsides of extended periods at home this year thanks to all the lockdowns has been the time to trawl through old Ibiza chill CDs, youtube channel wormholes and bandcamp compilations to discover classic or relatively unknown 90s downtempo gems that have managed to last the test of time. With this mix, Maria and I put our heads together to tell a story of the past that somehow still sounds fresh to our ears today, trying to squeeze in a bunch of styles from both of our collections while making it all flow and sound somewhat cohesive over three hours and a variety of tempos.

Inspirations for the mix come from all over the map, but there's a definite focus on the link between the UK and Ibiza in the early-mid 90s, with old Dj Alfredo live recordings, José Padilla's Café del Mar compilations, psychedelic mixes from the late great Andrew Weatherall, the absolutely insane discography of UK Street Soul pioneer Toyin Agbetu (the producer behind 2 Tuff, Deluxe, Shades Of Black, Robyn, Mary Pearce and many more), the crisp jazzy productions of downtempo master Paul Hardcastle from Kiss The Sky (a ton of which he's uploaded to bandcamp) and the don of deep &amp; soulful UK Garage Mike Millrain (aka D Base, DJ South Central, Vibes Alive, Stone Cold Steppaz).

A few special mentions go to our friend Dust-e-1 in Montreal for his chillout monster of a remix for Pascale Project, the late Richard H. Kirk aka Sandoz who recently passed but left us with an infinite resource of beautiful electronic dance music, and Alaska's Kwaito classic "Accuse" that will always put a smile on our faces no matter the occasion.

We first met Tia Cousins in 2019 when she came to volunteer. She sent us a few mixes and naturally we booked her for the very next FM. We love Tia's disregard of genre and pure love for anything with the right je ne sais quoi.

This was the first time she played Sputnik and she nailed the brief. Warming up for Optimo and their Watching Trees takeover, it's the perfect mix weird, euphoric and a bit emotional - you'll know the bit we're talking about when you hear it. Not a dry eye in the house. 

This is what Tia had to say about the mix: "Hazy memories from this one but I know it was a fkin hoot! Lots of wiggy bits, booty shakers and even a tear jerker in here live from the real life pleasure dome."

Nocturnal acid lines and swirling, soft rotations meld mental spaces with melodic threads. Downtempo energies and soulful traces of ’90s R&B entwine with lava-lamp psychedelia and interstellar journeys. Smoky, visionary passages and unexpected intervals of ‘80s pop pay homage to the lost art of crate-digging and compilation craftsmanship.

The unmistakable Ivkovic signature emerges: slow-motion BPMs, drum-heavy basslines, and tastefully warped distortion — all blending into a masterclass in futuristic acid.

Experimental club culture shuffles through ISAbella’s grooves, echoing her role as a trailblazer of Barcelona’s queer nightlife and co-founder of the MARICAS collective.

RA.1000 launches with Theo Parrish, live at fabric: a vanishingly rare club mix from the king of deep crates and impossible transitions.

There are DJ sets and then there are Theo sets. No matter how many times you've caught him in action, every time still feels like the first. Running hot, levels smoking, isolator working over time. You think you know dance music? Think again.

Parrish's debut on the RA Podcast is a milestone for the series, one we've sought for over 15 years. So it was only right that Theo led off our 1000th celebrations. Recorded live at fabric last December as part of RA's party with the London club for their 25th anniversary, this three-hour segment documents the crescendo of his eight-hour marathon. 

The Detroit legend doesn't release mixes often, and when he does, they're usually studio recordings: think NTS shows, his 100% Detroit edition of DJ-Kicks or classic tapes Body (1997) and Methods of Movement (2000). A capture of the Sound Signature boss on the dancefloor is hard to come by.

Sure, there's galvanising build-ups and crowd-pleasers, but laced throughout a Parrish beatdown are rarities designed to shock the system. In a business dominated by marketing, the vinyl master towers above thanks to a relentless hunger for lustrous melodies, moods and textures of all stripes, which he and he alone can fold into an inspiring and exhilarating joyride.

On RA.1000, blissful reggae precedes new wave disco; '80s R&B morphs into synthy techno; bleepy Chicago jack makes way for a poignant vocal ballad. It's Theo through and through. Once again, he proves that anything and everything is possible with the right records.

RA.1000 Theo Parrish

“Hold Me Through the Quiet” is a soulful ballad about emotional vulnerability, longing, and the struggle to hold on to love when everything feels uncertain. The narrator speaks to a lover who is drifting away, asking them to stay — not out of pride or fear, but from a deep need for connection and comfort.

The song explores the tension between strength and surrender: the narrator tries to appear composed but reveals deep emotional cracks. Each verse captures the feeling of being caught between letting go and hoping that love can still survive. The lyrics compare silence to a force that can either heal or destroy, depending on whether the lover chooses to stay.

Musically and emotionally, the song builds slowly — from quiet piano and soft strings to a full, cinematic swell — mirroring the heart’s rise and fall between despair and hope. Ultimately, it’s a plea for intimacy in its purest form: to be held through the quiet moments when love is tested, fragile, and real.

Lyrics: “Hold Me Through the Quiet”

Intro
In the hush before the morning breaks,
I trace your name in air that aches.
Every shadow hums your sound,
In this silence, love is found.

Verse 1
Your touch still lingers on my skin,
Like something holy wearing thin.
I reach for calm but fall instead,
Into the words we left unsaid.
You breathe a truth I cannot face,
A gentle wound I still embrace.

Verse 2
I build my walls, but they dissolve,
Each time your eyes begin to call.
The room is small, the night is wide,
And still, I’m lost on your side.
Between what’s real and what’s pretend,
We hold a love we can’t defend.

Pre-Chorus
Don’t ask me to be stronger now,
My heart forgot the why and how.

Chorus
Stay, don’t let the quiet win,
Don’t fade before the light begins.
I’d rather break than watch you go,
Your heartbeat is the only home I know.

Verse 3
You move like sorrow dressed in gold,
A promise trembling, turning cold.
The truth is kind, but love is cruel,
And I’m the dreamer, still the fool.
I chase your voice through falling rain,
Each echo spelling out your name.

Verse 4
I learned to love the ache you bring,
To find redemption in the sting.
Each tear becomes a quiet prayer,
That you might turn and still be there.
If love’s a war, then I’m your ground,
If peace is you, I can’t be found.

Bridge
We’re both undone, yet intertwined,
Two souls too close to be defined.
I’d give the night, I’d give the day,
If you’d just whisper, “I’ll stay.”

Interlude

Reprise
Stay, don’t let the quiet win,
Stay, till the morning pulls us in.
Our scars can sing, our hearts can mend,
If love is lost, let’s lose again.

Outro
And when the silence calls your name,
I’ll still be here, still the same.
Hold me through the quiet now,
And teach my soul to breathe somehow.
