Andrew Smith aka Jasen Loveland aka infinity was the embodiment of the spirit of No Way Back and Return to the Source, his energy, his neon colors, his front and center nature was such a core element of these parties. In 2019 he showed up to the party with a shirt he ordered off the internet that was a collage of all these pictures he had done of the Interdimensional Transmissions logo, it was so over the top, no one could stop talking about it. The statement was so clear, he was here, and he was all about this. During the night almost every DJ played some of his music, I remember Derek Plaslaiko playing 5 of his songs that night. He was floating on air, I bumped into him on the dance floor and he was just glowing. It was like he was having a private concert of his own music with a few thousand friends. It was pure magic. 

He became a part of these parties, creating art for them. During the streams and after I had lost my father, he made sure to call me all the time and check in. That really meant so much to me. We’d have long incredible discussions, sometimes very spiritual. When the first streaming No Way Back happened at the beginning of lockdown, he made these over the top animations for us of the shirts and products we were making. They were a hit in the stream and some are still on our instagram. 

When we lost him only days before the 2021 stream, it was too much to process. Anger, sadness and just that incredible loss of a true head and magic spirit. So we broadcast this set he had recorded for Miguel Senquiz only a week before, and had Andrew Charles Edman process the video. A patch he created for Touch Designer was used for his and many videos in the No Way Back Streaming From Beyond 2021 broadcast. He was and always will be an integral part of what we do, and here we remember him with this video and mix, and have dedicated all of Return to the Source 2022 to him. Forever Jase.

Disclaimer: This is a live recording! If there was ever a thought in the world to what I would sound like playing to a room full of ppl who have been outside drinking all weekend on one of the best rooms in New York City and possibly the world, then this could be it. Lack of sleep partly a factor on my part but fully leaning into that aspect. Vibe and energy over technicality and definitely precision. Not something you’ll be able to listen through very long sitting down or at a desk. Borderline unlistenable is most situations but highly entertaining and never boring by all objective accounts. Posting this not only requires a disclaimer but also an apology in advance to any disruption this most likely will incur to your current mind state. I’m sorry for that but I rarely get the chance to play the way I want to and you asked for it.

To launch our eighth season of Kajunga Program, we welcome Long Beach artist and curator of the Neptunian Influence mix series, Miranda Calzada aka Whipnotiq. She unleashes some serious heat in this fast-paced mix of electro, breaks and techno with enough velocity to blow through the atmosphere and well past the eighth planet.

For the 121st entry in the Honcho Podcast Series we welcome, @tabasheer!  'Traversing many musical paths between tender dreamscapes, wayward polyrhythms, buoyant percussion, and weirdo transmutations' is an apt description for this beautiful 3 hour mix.  This set was recorded in July, Tabasheer played a perfect opening set, providing the perfect introduction for the rest of the night.

Our guest mix this week is a debut by POP3YE. Born from a message scribbled on the wall of a secret bathroom, POP3YE has become a favorite amongst a select few ravers lucky enough to catch her play in the darkest corners of the Brooklyn underground. With this mix, she steps into the light with an hour of her signature style – combining nostalgic R&B with the percussion-heavy, experimental club sounds of now.

Recorded Sunday morning ... July 30th at The Great Beyond.

It’s been a while since I’ve put up a live DJ set. It’s also been a while since I’ve played a mostly electro set. Thought I’d take this opportunity at The Great Beyond this year to record a sunrise set driven by some of my favorite melodic electro tunes ever. Many which I’ve been playing for 20+ years.

For our 905th RA Podcast, we're proud to welcome Goldie, one of the most famous, talented and important electronic music artists of all time. Starting out as a graffiti artist, he eventually made music under the name Rufige Kru, helping push the then-nascent genre of jungle forward with tracks like "Krisp Biscuit (Power)" and "Terminator." The latter was released under the name Metalheads, which would later become the name of his label (with a z instead of an s). Metalheadz—which he cofounded with DJ Storm and the late Kemistry—celebrates its 30th anniversary this year and remains the defining outlet of drum & bass, the genre that grew out of jungle that Goldie helped invent with records like 1995's massive crossover album Timeless (alongside countless other classics). He's a producer, DJ, actor and all-around celebrity, a huge personality in UK electronic music.

Goldie is also RA's guest curator this month, and his tenure starts with this mix. We'll have more to come starting this week—check our editor's letter later today for more information—but for now, here's a survey of drum & bass past and present from a man who helped invent the genre. With plenty of new Metalheadz material plus a healthy dose of older tracks, these two hours lay out the history of Metalheadz, drum & bass and its various subgenres, from twinkling liquid to rumbling techstep. It's the first part of a month celebrating Goldie's legacy, and we can't wait to show you the rest.

DJ Yazi has been active since the mid-1990s,  as a member of Tokyo’s notoriously avant-garde hip hop group called Think Tank. The record label Black Smoker Records founded by the group took their experimentalism to a series of club nights called El Nino, and DJ Yazi remains its resident for two decades. Drawing inspiration from across the musical spectrum: the mentality of hip hop, the intensity of dub and jazz, the ferocity of techno and the euphoria of house. As a DJ he moves fluidly across styles, with his sets connected by a strong focus on deep and tripped out grooves. His attention to details, precision and masterful control over the decks clearly show his long time involvement in this art form. He also performs with Haruka as Twin Peaks, an improvisational live/ DJ hybrid act. He currently hosts a regular techno/ industrial themed night called Konvektion at Contact, Tokyo together with Takaaki Itoh. After appearing in a Tokyo satellite event series New Assembly presented by Berlin Atonal in early 2017, he caught the attention of the festival directors, and made his European debut in Berlin playing Herrensauna at Tresor and Berlin Atonal 2017.

Eyes, ears, and mind are open. Rules and criteria do not apply. The objective is not a plot for status. It is a personal journey. An investigation into what can be done within a chosen framework. A reflection of myself into sound.
