Here's a short mix that I recorded for Eddie Reynolds' (Tr One) show on DDR, which was first broadcast on Friday 10th September 2021.  It's an homage to the Juke / Footwork sound of Chicago, mixing in other tracks of a similar tempo from 60s soul, post-punk, indie, 80s pop and electro-pop.  It's one of the shortest mixes I've ever done so I aimed to make the 30 minutes both fun and unpredictable, like a stormtrooper let loose on your pub jukebox.

Have A Good Time

The third edition of my annual all night long show in one of Irelands best underground club space - Yamamori Tengu. It's always a joy and pleasure to play for such an incredible open minded crowd in a dark, hazy basement with a great sound system. Recorded live taking you on a 4 hour journey of raw disco, house, jazz and sounds from around the world.

Thank you to everyone who helped sell out the show and danced and shouted. To the promoters - Emma who put the trust in and the amazing staff behind this amazing establishment x

What a joy it is to be able to play records for people, bliss………

Ricky Chong All Night Long Live @ Yamamori Tengu - Dublin 2025

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)

RAWGROOVE PODCAST #1 - PURE 90s DEEP HOUSE CUTZ

Summer mixtape #1, made for state.ie, June 2014 by Cian Ó Cíobháin.

Summer is my favourite time of the year.

This selection explores the tension that exists between the child in me that experienced vast summers that seemed to go on forever, versus the adult of now that realises that as we make our inexorable, annual orbit around the sun – summer, like any other measurement of time, is unbearably transient and oh-so-fleeting.

From the pink showers of falling cherry blossoms that backdrop the first fine days of late April & early May, to the noctilucent skies of midsummer, to the last of the summer carnivals (or, as is now the case: festivals) leaving town for another year, I both savour the moment and instantly yearn for it as it as it dissolves. As you become increasingly conscious of your mortality, the thought occurs – not morbid, merely realistic – that this summer could be your last. You just don’t know. So this is my soundtrack to my last summer on planet earth – to the changing light, the fragrances and sounds of this most romantic of seasons.
