Exposé Noir (March 1st, 2025) - Amelia Holt

This DJ set by Mike Servito was recorded somewhere on the astral plane (a filthy Detroit basement) on February 1, 2025, at Ritual Rave, a party celebrating the pagan holiday Imbolc, which signals the start of Spring.

Buckle up and get ready to crank that shit ‘cause you’re in for a wild ride. This set is laced with only the rawest, bitchiest, nastiest, sweatiest, most classic Detroit-basementiest @mikeservito cuts. The rave reviews are in and the critics are hailing it as “A masterpiece of Servito '95. Mike in his highest and most enlightened form. A set so transformative that it effortlessly and masterfully bends the time-space continuum. It's an aural bitchslap like no other. It’s quintessentially pureDetroitmoods."

Ritual Rave is an annual part of Imbolc: https://imbolc.cargo.site/

Expansive dub vibrations from the On-U Sound maestro.

Adrian Sherwood has spent nearly five decades reshaping how dub is heard and felt. From absorbing reggae and funk as a teenager at the Newlands Club in High Wycombe to cofounding On-U Sound in 1979, he’s been a restless force in British sound system culture. His debut production, Dub From Creation, signalled his instinct to twist the Jamaican form into bold, experimental directions.

That spirit defined On-U Sound, where reggae collided with post-punk, industrial and synth pop to forge a catalogue still unlike anything else. Sherwood became a crucial bridge, producing for legends like Prince Far I, Bim Sherman and Lee “Scratch” Perry, while also working with Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails and Sinéad O’Connor.

His  RA Mix (yes, you read that right) arrives at a moment of renewal—RA.1001 is the first in a new era for the series. (After 1,000 editions of the RA Podcast, we're updating the name to better reflect what it's become.) 

Recorded at his Ramsgate studio, the 76-minute mix folds in cuts from <i>The Collapse Of Everything<i> alongside material from across the On-U Sound universe, plus collaborations with Panda Bear, Sonic Boom, Coldcut and Spoon. It's Sherwood doing what he's always done: stretching dub into endless new shapes.

Mike Servito's closing set from 10:30am until noon at No Way Back, May 25, 2025, Day 2 of Return to the Source at Tangent, Detroit. 

"Mike Servito is an artist intertwined with his Detroit origins. No matter how far he travels and how long he lives elsewhere, the essential imprint of this city remains in everything he does.

If you asked where this mix was recorded, I would say "Detroit" without hesitation and if I thought about it for a bit, I would guess that it was most likely one of Mike's legendary closing sets at No Way Back at Tangent Gallery. The level of care and reverence that go into these sets is very evident in this mix from start to finish. The track selection moves effortlessly from past to future playing with darkness and light, depth and joy, tension and release. It's a remarkable demonstration of taste and skill but also a paean to Mike's personal artistic history that calls to the creative power center that Detroit comprises. This mix provides a true glimpse into Mike's long-term dedication to the art of working in tandem with the dancefloor, creating a shared journey where the challenge is to let go and just trust the DJ."

Dirty Talking by Gabriel Vela is a dark, hypnotic techno driver built around a snarling mid-bass, tight rolling low end, and crisp, propulsive percussion. Whispered vocal textures flicker in the periphery—suggestive, textural, never overbearing—while metallic stabs and filtered noise sweeps ratchet tension through long blends. The arrangement is DJ-first: efficient phrasing, pressure-building breaks, and a hammering drop that snaps back to a relentless, heads-down groove. Clean, punchy, and engineered for peak-time control.

Dirty Talking — Gabriel Vela | Techno, Dark Hypnotic Driver, Peak-Time Weapon

Nesse novo lançamento eu resolvi acelerar o ritmo. Uma faixa criada para quem gosta de sentir a energia crescendo, batida após batida.
Preparei algo mais intenso, mais pulsante e com aquela vibe de rave que faz o corpo responder sozinho.

Obrigado por ouvir e apoiar sempre! ❤️
