An interlude between tracks for the dancefloor

Interlude

Recorded live at Brussels festival Listen, the veteran talks about leading the birth of acid techno and the sound of proto-techno in Belgium.

At the turn of the '90s, Belgium was under the twin influences of early techno and '80s new beat. It was artists like CJ Bolland who helped usher these two sounds together, bridging the low-slung sludge of bands like A Split Second and Lords of Acid with the futuristic chug of Juan Atkins, Jeff Mills and Detroit's first guard. 

Bolland grew up in Antwerp and was exposed to underground music from his parents, who owned a club. Eventually beginning to produce himself, he helped create the early acid rave sound that would take over Europe. He signed to then-powerhouse label R&S Records with his career-defining single, "Horsepower," in 1991, and from there embarked on a prolific touring career.

In this Exchange, he talks to RA's senior producer Chloe Lula live from Listen Festival in Brussels, diving deep into Belgium's unique musical landscape and his thoughts on how it's evolved in response to its position between major techno hubs like The Netherlands and France. A massive gear head, Bolland also shares his favourite tools and reflects on how the state of music-making has changed in the years since he first started his career. Listen to the episode in full.

Half’A’Man- See ya on tha dancefloor Mixtape 10/24

"I am soul, and the soul is a lidless eye.
...
At every moment, the bottom again became the top."

Victor Hugo — According To Orpheus And According to Melchisedech

The Being Buried Within The Stone Said

Fresh episode of Bøne Appetit! on Tak Tent Radio featuring DJ Sickfuck with her first mix after a long introspective period. The Russian-American DJ/Producer splits her music-making time between writing and playing bumping dance music and throwing pop-up events in Moscow dedicated to experimental, drone and ambient music.

Growing tired of the polished sound, she has embraced her love for the weird and unpredictable. Tossing in a burst of noise right in the middle, she let loose, abandoned perfection, and had an absolute blast. Vibes from Bønehead for the second hour.

Bøne Appetit! W/ Bønehead ft. DJ Sickfuck - 06/02/2025

Original Vocal - Renée van Trier – A Difficult Loss To Accept (Digital Bonus) [CAF014]

Belfast's own Uncle Moe, also known as Andrew Moore, delivers a dynamic mix that showcases his talents as a DJ. Beyond the decks, he is a music journalist and co-founder of the influential Plain Sailing club night.

This set navigates tempos between 140 and 145 BPM, seamlessly blending a variety of styles. The first half features percussive bass, grime, and braindance techno, setting an energetic tone. A pivotal moment arrives with Honeydrip's "Aspire" from Woozy's latest compilation, ushering in a deeper exploration of breakbeat and dubstep influences. 

Listeners will encounter tracks from artists like Al Wootton, Peverelist, Martyn, and Belfast's own rising talent, Preference. The mix also includes an experimental piece by Rian Treanor, a producer from Rotherham and resident at No Bounds Festival, adding an off-kilter, avant-garde touch.

Uncle Moe's curation offers a compelling journey through contemporary electronic sounds, reflecting his deep connection to the evolving music scene.
