Freerotation 2024 : The House Of Crocodiles Part 2 (Live Recording)

We've got another Psy-born-earptical-illusion-swamp-lathern mix for you! I don't think spotify wrapped bots could come up with that sentence... maybe next year? :( anyway enough about those evil lil guys and more onto this absolutely sweet mix from Montreals slug enchanter, Kiju. 

Sludgy IDM, Ethereal half-time jungle so downtempo the sofas gonna eat you up.
Wonky-daydream-percussion-heavy excursions into triphop dimensions. Genres so blurred and bass so chunky your brains gonna vibrate in that lovely head of yours. 
The mix, from a live set, we wish we were there for is a consistent sultry en-trance-ment of light and darkness. Stoked to add it to the series.  Here are some words from Kiju about it:

Seoul-born and currently loving in Tio'tia:ke/Montréal, kiju has been tirelessly involved in her city’s DIY circuit since the tail end of the pandemic as a DJ, rave organizer, and dancefloor specialist. Behind the decks, kiju has been noticed for her genre-spanning range, from swampy slo-mo to hypnotic uptempo, that focuses on finding the groove through more subtle rhythms and textures.

“Here, I present to you a my closing set from exposé noir’s vol x, in the chillout room, six floors up from the main stage. I hope you can feel the feeling that was in that room from this recording. I heard that it felt tribal, and sexy. I was playing on the floor, pulsing to the beat on my knees. There was a really good amount of fog, and many dancers were crowding in a circle around the booth as if the music were some source of heat.”

The Inner Sound 038: Dream Software

For our 38th instalment of ‘The Inner Sound’, we invite Bristol-based multidisciplinary artist + musical platform: @dreamsoftwarecorp.

From the depths of the ethernet, Dream Software presents a utopian vision in every facet of his outputs. From releasing music that sounds far ahead of our time from up-and-coming artists such as Jon Jones, Wigs, Beltrac & a recent reissue of 90s works from Alien Signal, to collating his own vast collection and showcasing it through his many sets, online mixes, and radio guest spots.

Tap in (or out) to this 2-hour and 40-minute time frame of sonic reveries, where you’ll be taken to an oasis of mind-melting and nurturing rhythms, getting lost and far from your physical being, only to return with an expansive breath of new life.

Four hours and 20 minutes recorded at Es Claustre, Maó, Menorca (May 30, 2025). Pulled out a lot of all-time faves. A tiny bit chagrined at putting so many "big" tracks into one set, but hey. Sometimes you just wanna hear what you wanna hear.

Philip Sherburne Presents Claustrephilia #1

All the atmosphere, length and drama of a film score: over two hours of dark, thick post-punk and wave from Brussels-based DJ Nina Welch, recorded live from RA's stage at Horst Arts & Music 2025.

RA Live - Nina Welch - Horst Arts & Music 2025, Belgium

For RA.1000, DJ Sprinkles' first mix in over a decade is a powerful meditation on the genocide in Gaza.

Dance music often relies on simple narratives: release, escape, unity. But those narratives can often feel inadequate, and even at times, hollow. Or, as Terre Thaemlitz might bluntly put it, just "shitty."

For her first mix in around 15 years, Terre Thaemlitz AKA DJ Sprinkles, challenges us to think differently. "I felt this 1000th podcast should reflect the moment in which it was made," she told us in her Q&A.

And what is this moment? Every day since Israel's 2023 assault on Gaza began, an average of 28 children have been killed. That's an entire classroom, every day, for over 600 days (at the time of writing). It's a staggering figure that only captures a fragment of the listless cruelty imposed on the strip.

Faced with such a genocide, what can music really do? How political can it truly be?  For their RA.1000, Thaemlitz gives us an unflinching rebuke to the idea that music should provide escapism. The mix weaves ambient fragments and jazz passages, woven around samples from Israeli media and the voices of outspoken Jewish critics like Gabor Maté and Norman Finkelstein. 

The result is not just a protest, but a document of our time. For Terre Thaemlitz, music is never just music. Her RA.1000 serves as a reminder that in an age of relentless suffering, the most political act is to reject the illusion of escape, and search for something greater.
