Introducing Toumba - an Amman-based DJ/Producer/Designer who is pushing the boundaries of, and deconstructing Middle Eastern music, specifically, Levantine and Jordanian music. Toumba incorporates traditional sounds with razor-sharp sound design and clever arrangement to produce unique tracks. Garnering attention with his 115 EP on All Centre and his own self released edits and EPs, he also holds down radio residencies with Movements Athens and Maza3ef, and has plenty more new music to come.

About the mix Toumba says, “In this mix, I wanted to highlight the spectrum of music & artists that I've been inspired by lately, and some of the music that I've been making as a result of that. It's a very eclectic and forward-thinking mix which is hard-hitting throughout and takes absolutely no prisoners.”

Underground Music Academy Takeover: Waajeed - 19 June 2022

Hannah Holland’s role in London’s alternative and queer scene goes back over a decade ago. In the mid 2000’s, she began exploring the lines between techno, electro and house music whilst also being heavily influenced by the D&B and Jungle raves of which she spent most of her teens.   

London served as the ultimate melting pot and hub for development, nurturing Holland’s unique sound which took her through residencies at iconic events such as Trailer Trash, to festival stages such as Glastonbury’s NYC Downlow and to extended sessions at Panormama Bar and across Europe.  

She also heads up the Batty Bass imprint, founded in 2009 as a label and event series, it provided a platform for her own explorations as well as one for artists such as our own resident Josh Caffe, The Carry Nation, Lauren Flax & more.   As a producer, Hannah has collaborated alongside Josh Caffe on Crosstown Rebels whilst also taking up remix duties for legendary figures such as DJ Hell, Goldfrapp, The Knife and Planningtorock.  

Hannah joins us for 003 in the fabric podcast, ahead of her appearance at fabric on July 2nd where will be celebrating Pride with HE.SHE.THEY. Also on the night is Cassy, TAAHLIAH, Anna Wall, Massimiliano Pagliara & lot’s more.

A queer icon steps up for RA.998's B-side.

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.

Foxman takes the B-side and makes her RA Podcast debut. As a vocalist for Hercules & Love Affair and a sought-after producer in her own right, the New York-based artist blends club heft and melodic flourish with a distinct pop sensibility shaped by '90s dance music. (She got her first job making smoothies at an all-ages club in Hawaii while Deee-Lite performed live behind her.)

Like Roza Terenzi, Foxman draws from across eras. Her contribution to RA.998 is warm, expressive and emotionally tuned, unfurling a palette of house, breaks and trance laden with bright pads, bold hooks and an ear for atmosphere. Listen out for the Whitney Houston sample and you'll know what we mean. 

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 Kim Ann Foxman

limbic sis, aka Karo, from Berlin is a very busy woman indeed: whether she’s playing DJ sets solo or as one half of the duo bae2bae, working on releases and events with her very own, newly founded PLOT RECORDS or as a co-founder of FLINTA*-focused Layers collective, it’s clear that music holds a central place in her life.

We got to know her at Waking Life Festival and she’s well aware of the power of community and its importance for music — which makes her a great fit for the upcoming Cruise, where she’ll be playing on Saturday, 13/09, alongside Virginia on the PLUS floor, and AB8LUTE, Tobi Neumann, and the Zenker Brothers on the BLITZ floor. Expect an animated blend of deep & pumpy Deep House, Acid, and beyond — the inspired selector has plenty of ideas and influences to draw from. 

Our upcoming Blitzcast: 029 offers a glimpse into her musical selection and curation. We took the time to ask her about her musical journey and inspirations, her Blitzcast, PLOT RECORDS and more to give you a sense of the multifaceted personality ahead of our Cruise celebrations. Read more in our Blitz Magazine and don't forget to catch her on Saturday the 13th!
