TAKAAKI ITOH - iN Podcast 018 [live cut from iN 6.APR.24]

Our 60th podcast comes from Mike Midnight.

Over the past decade, Mike has established himself as a versatile DJ, with standout downtempo EPs like Angel Hours and the collaborative trickpony with Roza Terenzi and Gem K. His productions channel early 2000s nostalgia through lush textures, emotional pulls, and playful sampling.

Recent mixes for NTS’s Braden Wells, Rinse.fm’s Baraka, and pipipi showcase his deep knowledge of club music, trip hop, and downtempo. With a delicate grip on energy and flow, Mike delivers a hazy morning-after remedy of hopeful synth pads, angelic vocal washes, and bleepy melodies.

The trance queen opens RA.998 with her cheeky, break-heavy vision.

The RA Podcast began with RA.001 in 2006. Since then, it's spotlighted the best and brightest in dance music every week, without fail. As we approach our 1,000th episode next month, we're switching things up, pairing artists whose sounds complement one another and, in doing so, zeroing in on the forces shaping the past, present and future of electronic culture.

This week, we shift lanes to Roza Terenzi and Kim Ann Foxman, two artists who strike a rare balance between reverence and reinvention. Both are key figures in queer clubbing circles, deeply informed by the halcyon days of '90s and early '00s club music yet fully committed to pushing it forward.

Each artist has carved out a distinct path. Roza Terenzi started out in Perth, Australia, before making a home in Berlin in 2020, while the Hawaii-born Foxman made her name in New York by way of San Francisco in the early '00s. For RA.998, they've contributed separate mixes, to be enjoyed together as two parts of the same whole.

Roza Terenzi opens with a high-impact A-side. Clocking in at just over an hour, her second mix for us picks up where the first left off, connecting breakbeat, acid, UK garage and trance with an ear for tension and a sense of play. Peppered among the skippy percussion and earworm vocals are moments of proper heft that build and release with purpose. It's cheeky, confident and tailor-made to get any dance floor moving.

While Foxman and Roza Terenzi embrace a fun, vibrant musical style, their work is grounded in intentionality. They're invested in honouring the cultural and political roots of dance music: Foxman has long advocated for a more inclusive, community-driven club scene, while Roza Terenzi was among the first artists to begin pulling shows this summer as a matter of political principle.

Both sides of RA.998 show how the sounds of past eras can be reimagined to move seamlessly with the present. Hopefully you'll even feel a jolt of inspiration to get yourself to the nearest dance floor, ASAP.

RA.998 Roza Terenzi

underwater aficionado and lifelong friend surfing on what eases his mind

"I’m truly honored and proud to release this mix on the label run by my longtime friends, Léo and Simon. We’ve known each other for years and grew up together through music, so being able to share my very first time mix on their label feels quite special to me.

This ambient, dubby and aquatic mix is an immersion in low frequencies that resonate like the heartbeat of the ocean, inspired by the latter that surrounds and soothes me every day. A tribute to the calm and powerful energy of the waters"
