Beautiful set at Carcassonne. Thanks HAAi. So needed there

Go go go 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Pure energy from one of electronic music's brightest lights: Sofia Kourtesis. Clamour had built around the Peruvian artist's poignant brand of house music following a string of EPs and 12"s, culminating in last year's Madres—a passionate, vulnerable and excellent album that resonated widely.

Madres packed in rare specificity for a dancefloor record, combining paeans to the power of sound with direct tributes to the neurosurgeon who saved the life of Kourtesis' mother. (Kourtesis even took him clubbing in Berlin as an additional thank you.) The album's earworm melodies and approachable aura helped launch Kourtesis from bubbling to breakthrough on the global stage. In both sound and impact, it mirrors another record: Swim, the 2010 classic made by Kourtesis' friend and mentor, Dan Snaith.

Speaking of @caribouband: RA.943 kicks off with a brand new Sofia Kourtesis & Daphni collaboration, before powering through summer-ready cuts from LUXE, Floating Points, IceMorph, DJ ADHD and an old Oliver Lieb classic. Even as her reputation as a recording artist swells, this power-hour mix is a sharp reminder of Kourtesis' DJing chops, teeing up a victory-lap summer ahead.

An era-spanning mix from @kellyleeowens.

"I went for a mixture of the new and the old and where those places meet. Newer tracks I’m loving and some classics from the likes of Underground Resistance - paying homage to where we’ve been, and where we are now as a dance community."

Live from Lost Village - Daphni

A full four hours of the main man Caribou, recorded live at The Cause last summer. What more could you want to chase the blues away?

Dan Snaith is one of the most enduring figures in 21st century electronic music. From early records as Manitoba, to 2010's Swim (which RA called Album of the Year in a runaway vote), to Grammy-winning 2014 hit album Our Love, as well as ongoing collaborations with Four Tet and dance floor excursions under his Daphni alias, the Canadian DJ-producer is a fixture for a reason.

Ahead of a Caribou (Full Band) tour across the UK and Europe starting in February, we can now let loose the full four hour recording of his RA Live from 2024. 

In it, Snaith goes in hard, rolling out bassy, wobbly and fidgety heaters, running through everything from speed garage and UK funky to Afro house and anthemic deep house—and even a sprinkle of Stevie Wonder for good measure. It's what he truly does best: bangers on bangers (and more bangers).

We're thrilled to unveil NECTAR VOL.1, the debut compilation from our new sub-label NECTAR 🍯

Born as a natural extension of DANS LA ZONE, NECTAR explores a more introspective dimension of club music—emotional, progressive, and deeply personal. This project brings together 10 exceptional producers who share our vision of blurring genre boundaries and pushing the sound forward.

From delicate textures to peak-time intensity, NECTAR VOL.1 showcases a spectrum of forward-thinking club music: melodic breaks, progressive house, Trancy influences, and everything in between. Each track feels intimate yet designed for the dancefloor, reflecting the emotional depth we've always championed.

Huge love to the artists who brought this vision to life: FFrançois Bae, FF, D-Nite, Tourman, Von GDK, SpunOff, J.deere420, Cyberflex, Wigs and Gneiss.

NECTAR VOL.1 is more than a compilation—it's a statement of intent and the first chapter of something special.

Tracklist:

1        Reality and Other Falsehoods - Von GDK
2        El Sol Me Sigue - SpunOff
3        Sigur Interval - Tourman
4        Pacific 98 - Wigs
5        Right Now - François Bae
7        Temple Of Time - J.Deere 420 
8        Deeper Drunker - FF
6        Suspect - D-Nite
9        Metro Tribe - Cyberflex
10      Answers The Oracle - Gneiss

Winner of BBC Essential Mix of the Year

BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix

This is my DJ mix from the Daphni 'JIAOLONG' album release party at the Bussey Building in Peckham, London, UK.

It was recorded live and performed with 3 Pioneer CDJ 2000s playing digital files, an E&S DJR400 mixer and a Boss RE-20 Space Echo pedal.

All 7.5 hours are here - warts and all. Apologies for the occasionally crunchy sound quality and periodic lapses in mixing. It's only split into two parts because it was too long to upload as one file.

It was a fantastic night - thank you to all of you who were there and to Huntleys & Palmers for putting the night on. But as many of you were unable to attend for geographic and other reasons, I wanted to share it with you this way.

I hope you enjoy it. Thanks,
Dan
