No episódio 19, trazemos o warm-up da nossa edição de 1 ano no @dedgesp feito por um grande selector. 

Com influências que se estendem do Break Beat e Hip Hop ao Jazz e Reggae, ele busca profundidade na música, explorando sons que criam uma conexão emocional com quem escuta. 

Para ele, é sobre trazer os outros mais próximos a si mesmos.
Ele investe na pesquisa musical como maneira de alimentar sua curiosidade, fugir do genérico e ampliar a experiência de quem se conecta na mesma frequência. Com ele, o processo é também um ritual onde o ancestral trilha um caminho atemporal em direção a tecnologia.

Ele nos entregou duas horas de magia no dia 15 de Julho, e agora vocês podem acompanhar seu set na íntegra. Bem vindo à Botanic, Gui Nogueira.

Botanic, dancefloor powered by life.

In spring 2023 I made a second trip to Precious Hall in Sapporo to play again with the wonderful Occa at his Archiv party. This time we took things deeper, darker, more disturbed... at one point we were playing in almost total darkness, completely absorbed in the mesmerising, truly immersive sound system.
Essentially this serves as the second part of the mix I did there in 2022, and hopefully marks a succession of annual visits to this beautiful looking and unique-sounding venue.

For the first time in our 25-year history, we are releasing a live solo recording by Craig Richards from the club. 

“This mix was recorded on the second of December at a Continuum party. I commenced just after five and finished at nine. The heady combination of nostalgia coupled with the past, the future and more importantly my daughter dancing next to me, resulted in a mix that I felt happy with. Historically, I have been very self-critical and have chosen not to release many mixes. Across nearly four hours this one seems to encapsulate the twenty five years of playing at fabric. In 1998 I was invited by Keith Reilly to play weekly at what was an imaginary nightclub. I had no idea that experience would continue for so many years. Playing vinyl on that sound system and mixer is highly exciting and a joy in itself. I am delighted that this has been my method of sonic communication and remain deeply grateful for my ongoing residency.” - Craig Richards


Craig will be joining us at the club on 30th March to celebrate his 25-year residency with a 25-hour Continuum party.

This week, we’re happy to share XDB's stunning set from Dimensions ’23. Recorded live from Freerotation’s takeover of the Cosmos last summer, which set the stage perfectly for Steevio's live set afterwards.

Deep, refined and classy selections throughout, something we've come to expect and love about Kosta’s sets.

Bringing a little slice of jungle sunshine in these winter months, next up we have a chunk of Vera's set from Bonanza 2024.

Recorded deep on the Sunday night, Vera took us on a proper trip deep into her acidic vortex. Unhurried, classy and psychedelic, Vera artfully guided our weary feet through the witching hour of the last night of the festival. 

Don't miss her during Bonanza 2025, this time taking care of some after-hours terrace action.

Giroscopio 018 w/ Gui Nogueira

Part four of RA.999: the sound of shared history, courtesy of two legends of minimal house in full flow.

A lot can happen in 20 years. Especially in dance music, where movements rise, collide and dissolve at dizzying speed. It takes conviction, dynamism and a formidable record collection to stay the course.

That’s why Margaret Dygas and Sonja Moonear have remained such enduring underground favourites. Step into one of their sets, solo or side by side, and an assured calm takes over the floor. You're in the sleekest, safest hands imaginable.

Recorded live at fabric's 25th birthday, their RA.999 captures that feeling perfectly. High-tempo, irresistibly groovy and full of quiet authority, it marks a return to the series for both: Moonear with RA.520, and Dygas with the fourth-ever RA Podcast all the way back in 2006.

They also gave rare interviews, reflecting on a deep musical connection that began in 2007, the legacy of minimal and lessons from a life spent in DJ booths the world over. 

"I felt excited and lucky to be invited so early in what I now see as a much longer journey," wrote Dygas. "Music holds memories in its frequencies, and the right track can transport you instantly to a past version of yourself. That’s powerful. That’s the kind of power I respect." Amen.

RA.999 Sonja Moonear & Margaret Dygas

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)

Com um ouvido apurado, Guilherme Nogueira tem o que muitos consideram um instinto nativo para a música.

De influências que se estendem do Break Beat e Hip Hop ao Jazz e Reggae, Guilherme busca profundidade na música, explorando sons que criam uma conexão emocional com quem escuta. Para ele, é sobre trazer os outros mais próximos a si mesmos. 

E é por isso mesmo que Gui procura constantemente se reinventar, mesclando tradição com o novo; conectando passado e futuro através da discotecagem.

Ele investe na pesquisa musical como maneira de alimentar sua curiosidade, fugir do genérico e ampliar a experiência de quem se conecta na mesma frequência. Com ele, o processo é também um ritual onde o ancestral trilha um caminho atemporal em direção a tecnologia.
