Alpha Runner 2-Year w/ DJ The Witching Hours, Adam O, special guests

This mix was made exclusively and exhaustively with every record I procured while visiting France in September 2023 — A pilgrimage I dreamt of for years. I set a budget and a plan to fill a carry-on luggage, I visited Bazar Musiques & Mindtrip in Marseille and Techno Import & Dizonord in Paris. I stole hours for this while my partner derivé in either city. The sounds I found so casually and generously were as much what I had specifically craved for years as new ideas I hadn’t dreamt of. The energy of these songs has carried me for months. 


This mix is called Love Letter not just that it is of the deepest gratitude to the culture which I reveled in during those two weeks abroad, but that these sounds have flowed with me through endless affection over the past three months: in and out of security, romance, trust in self, trust in Love; emotional oscillations, moments of ecstatic faith and the contrary; yet alas, this must be a curation of hope. Something to archive as a moment of belief and joyous risk-taking, to place in a keepsake box as a fact of a feeling. I believe Love Letters will stay true as they are stored, as much as we are surrounded by them. We give them to one another constantly. The songs herein ride upon the Love Letters I’ve shared as of late, they are themselves Love Letters I offer when I play them for others and Love Letters I receive back when I play them at home. Hear this mix now and return to it when you might doubt our fortitude or simply need to remember the fact. Find it drifting through your head and smile as you stay with innervation. You’re going to feel anyway.


Love,
Gay Felony
 
Recorded in Rampart Village, Los Angeles on Friday, December 29th 2023 using two critical-condition-disrepair Technics 1200mkIIs outfitted with Ortofon Night Club S cartridges routed into a Rane Empath Rotary mixer.

 Kiernan Laveaux, She/They

Kiernan Laveaux is a connective rhythmic energy conduit & ecstatic beat conductor from the Great Lakes. A boundless ball of discordant energy, she’s an adventurous spirit - conducting the vibrant forces of our world that are transmitted through the unbridled passion contained within her DJing. 

Inspired by forces of universal chaos & the innovative, experiential visions found within midwestern electronic music, she's since embarked on a lifelong journey of channeling binary dissolving phenomena throughout our known universe via her unbridled musical vitality & the multifaceted Sweet Abyss imprint. 

Originating from within Cleveland's multiversal DIY underground, she materialized through the rhythms of life & her loved ones - soaking up influence in everything from the enchanted & irreverent joys of disco, the raucous mayhem of hardcore punk & noise gigs, the spatial manifestations of dub, nonlinear revelations & outer reaches of free jazz expressionism, bewitching industrial conjurations, lineages & contrasts of freeform DJing across the world, & dancing with many weirdos in rooms full of fog, neon mesh, & skate ramps.


Notes on the Mix ///

"This mix is a live recorded portion of a set I played late at night at the wonderful club Outra Cena in Lisbon, Portugal in April 2024. The vibe of it is pondering the orb, watching your life and emotions play out in arcane swirls in front of your eyes as you embody the role of an unreliable narrator in your own existence. Sometimes this view allows clarity, other times overwhelmed by imagined insecurities, other times allowing a reprieve from strife into self love. Emotions and mental findings that feel held in many sets of mine. Sonically, I really felt encouraged this night to dive into my love of the stranger ends of house music, and combinations of industrial/dub/breaks on top. Specifically the influence of my lifelong love of industrial and synth music can really be felt throughout, as well as lamentations on loneliness and connection within capitalism that lots of that music speaks to - industrial music for industrial people. Discotekno, Haunted house, whatever name you want to apply to this music - as well as a healthy dose of dubwise rave stylistics. A strange dream within a stranger reality, living in the paradox. Musick for dance, musick for new corridors of your mind, musick against the fascist, ogliarchal pacification of who we are - viva la differenze!"

XOXA BLEND 247 - Kiernan Laveaux

Slight change from the norm as it's soul time again...dug up some nugs (hopefully) for your pleasure.

The Beauty Within You

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)

RA.1000 DJ Harvey & Andrew Weatherall

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.

Suicide Survivor

Gay Felony (she/her)

Gay Felony is the apex of gay crime — acts which move our continuum ever closer to the break down of all binary notions. Gay Felony is an alias of Melody Scallion, poly-disciplinary sound, video & social artist based for 10 years in Los Angeles, California. She has maintained a monthly show on dublab for over four years. She also plays on KCHUNG with Prettygayfriendly, is a resident and member of PRANKS!, and frequents bars, “spaces,” warehouses, and free-party locations around LA. As a DJ and organizer, she is a staple of the above-and-under-ground. She delivers ecstatic and exceptionally skillful extended vinyl DJ sets that explore genres from soulful deep and beautiful progressive house to obscure techno, funky breaks, and lush trance. Gay Felony sets are uncompromising and excessively life-affirming; the essence she carries in all pursuits and shares within the nexus of audience/family/community.

Notes on the Mix ///

"This mix was designed in sweltering August 2025; tracked in three attempts in the final days before September. It was recorded at home aka "Why Is It My" Studios with two Technics 1200mk2 turntables, a Rane Empath rotary mixer and Jico 44-7 styli. It was tracked into a Tascam and mastered in Ableton Live 10. After crafting something deep, technical and exploratory for Gyration Station, the goal for this mix was to return to beloved and uplifting soulful house records played longer, embraced in their wholeness. Some records were obtained in Berlin at Melting Point & Sound Metaphors, some from donated records purchased at the dublab LA Fire Relief Sale; a highlight selection the penultimate K-Hand, 'Do You Love Me' as it was in a small catalogue of records comprising my first Discogs order of dance records circa 2017. An un-arranged list of people and things which influenced the crafting and recording of this mix: Q4q4u, gay sex with my fiancé, breakfast in the morning in the sunlight, Colored "WWCD" Craig, Margot2themax, Serenity Link 4 Year Anniversary, 90+ degree weather, being a slut on Feeld, Sunday Ball, Charles aka DJ Tuesday Night, Prins Thomas, El Cid, Claude Young, Justin long, T4TLUVNRG, DJ Daria, PRANKS!, Z Street, Prosumer, K-Hand, Wheez-ie, Ian Pooley, DJ Jenny."

Every song has the purpose of creating energy for this wonderful journey we call life. Let’s share this energy in Seoul, South Korea.

Here is a sample of this union. Get Ready To Dance!

Tony Moran's I:M SEOUL PODCAST

Welcome to an intimate and uplifting musical collaboration between friends ... 
set to the backdrop of Nature’s beauty during one of the most challenging times in the world. It was a special LIVESTREAM GARDEN PARTY at my house here in Birmingham, starting early on the perfect weather day of May 31st. I moved the DJ equipment and speakers outside with the backdrop of Nature’s beauty behind us and was joined by David Ohmann and DJ Mike Pope from Atlanta. We were very much looking forward to sharing our music with listeners then ... and now with you!
Our new age of entertaining takes quite an effort, but it’s all been worth it. So many thanks to our producer, David Ohmann, for managing while letting our creativity flow as he made the experience available to you in so multiple ways! Originally airing on TWITCH and Zoom, we hope to build our followers with your help. Tune in to https://www.twitch.tv/davidohmann/videos, https://www.twitch.tv/djmikepope/videos,https://www.twitch.tv/djmikepope/videos Musically, Mike Pope and I were sure our chemistry would work. Although we had each prepared in advance with ideas of what we might want to play, we found in the shared, live moment that our directions were affected by current events. We each hoped to make a small contribution to the musical universe during a time of need.THE MESSAGE OF OUR GARDEN PARTY: Share the positivity and build the spirit one song at a time. We hope you enjoy it. We’re giving you 3 hours with no breaks. It would take forever to write out a playlist, so just sit back and enjoy. If you have a question, private message us on Facebook. With all that said, I allowed my feelings guide me through my portions of our set. Whether with classics, house, tribal, circuit or whatever ... I sought to express myself and my heart by blending different vibes into one. Mike and I just strove to do our best.Patti Razetto? Thank you for holding me together! Thank you and may God bless us all!
