BLNDR - 303 JAM EP [PRRUKABSTRCT001]

RA.1000 launches with Theo Parrish, live at fabric: a vanishingly rare club mix from the king of deep crates and impossible transitions.

There are DJ sets and then there are Theo sets. No matter how many times you've caught him in action, every time still feels like the first. Running hot, levels smoking, isolator working over time. You think you know dance music? Think again.

Parrish's debut on the RA Podcast is a milestone for the series, one we've sought for over 15 years. So it was only right that Theo led off our 1000th celebrations. Recorded live at fabric last December as part of RA's party with the London club for their 25th anniversary, this three-hour segment documents the crescendo of his eight-hour marathon. 

The Detroit legend doesn't release mixes often, and when he does, they're usually studio recordings: think NTS shows, his 100% Detroit edition of DJ-Kicks or classic tapes Body (1997) and Methods of Movement (2000). A capture of the Sound Signature boss on the dancefloor is hard to come by.

Sure, there's galvanising build-ups and crowd-pleasers, but laced throughout a Parrish beatdown are rarities designed to shock the system. In a business dominated by marketing, the vinyl master towers above thanks to a relentless hunger for lustrous melodies, moods and textures of all stripes, which he and he alone can fold into an inspiring and exhilarating joyride.

On RA.1000, blissful reggae precedes new wave disco; '80s R&B morphs into synthy techno; bleepy Chicago jack makes way for a poignant vocal ballad. It's Theo through and through. Once again, he proves that anything and everything is possible with the right records.

Bourgie Bourgie

Over the past 6 months I’ve travelled to some of the worlds biggest cities and with the greatest respect, nowhere beats the scene in Glasgow in terms of the diverse creativity happening. 

The Clyde Built compilations have documented this year after year and it's a great pleasure to work on them. Previous artists range from Cucina Povera to Hammer, Big Miz to Still House Plants, LAPS, Lo Kindre and loads more. Not to mention the many one off's and incredible projects that have formed and dissipated over the years - another exciting aspect which characterises the immediacy of the scene. 

Despite being twice the size of any of its previous successors, this year’s cast of tomorrow’s talent is no different - owing a lot to many random encounters and the community spirit as a whole for it coming together in the way it did. Life is the most effective algorithm. 

Scene stalwarts rub shoulders with the freshest of faces - turning in a solid cross section of contemporary hip hop, alongside pop edits, ambient, free jazz and plenty of cutting edge 4/4 bangers in all shapes and sizes - including political anthem of our time, MULK! Rest assured, it won’t be the last you’ll hear of this lot. 

As always, the compilation was mastered by LANDR and is available for FREE download. 

To mark the occasion, we're teaming up with the Healthy crew and hosting a party at Civic House on the 15th June with a variety of the Clyde Built contributors past and present. Check RA / FB for more.. 

Get involved!!

Liam Doc - Silly Ho (Sighthill Sunset Mix)

We’ve been fans of Lee Kelly for time. The Dublin producer is just as handy at making a face melting bangers as he is exploring the deeper side of electronica, showcasing an emotional versatility and open mind.

‘Layers of Identity’ came out on cassette imprint wherethetimegoes (of which this latest release shares its title) and was one of our favourite releases of last year – floating in and out of breaks, jungle, left field leaning house and ambient. 

‘Excerpts from Layers of Identity’ features handpicked cuts from the original cassette for your listening pleasure.

We’ve copped the remix of Still Hopeful It’s True (Or S.H.I.T for short) from Berlin duo DJ OK. Funny enough, the first time we ever came across DJ OK was when Lee and First Second Label boss DCFSLman played together on Red Light Radio. They dropped a crazy, dubbed out breaky number that blew our minds. A quick Instagram message to Lee enlightened us to who it was by.
DJ OK has flipped Lee’s beatless ambient sequence into a optimistic, emotive groover. 

‘Excerpts from Layers of Identity’ drops on Dublin’s First Second Label on June 24th. Support the artist and label in full by copping it via their Bandcamp page - https://firstsecondlabel.bandcamp.com/
