Jason Peters, the visionary behind Roam Recordings, returns with his latest EP, 'It's Ok to Be Sad.' This release is a dynamic journey through emotional soundscapes, blending high-energy beats with introspective undertones.

Opening the EP, 'Satellites' is an homage to Jason's formative years in the underground rave scene of the 90s. The track captures the raw, pulsating energy of warehouse parties with its heavy hitting drums underpinning wild electronic noises.

The title track takes a reflective turn with its distinctive goth disco vibe. Echoing the moodiness of the cover art-clouds tinged with subtle brightness-this piece intertwines elements of joy and sorrow, creating a captivating emotional contrast.

Adding a fresh dimension, Moderna returns to Roam Recordings to lend her unique touch. Her remix infuses the original with haunting vocals, 80s-inspired snares, and atmospheric reverb, amplifying the track's melancholic essence.

PREMIERE: Jason Peters - It’s Ok to Be Sad (Moderna Remix) [Roam Recordings]

Andrew Weatherall was a main influence for the Something Spæcial series from the get-go, so here finally is The Robot Scientists tribute to one of the most influential, creative, productive, classy and original producers we know. We decided to pick the tracks, remixes and co-productions from him we love most and put them in almost full length into a slowly developing, slowly grooving pretty long mix that pays complete respect to the meticulously drafted tracks and all their fantastic details mainly from his A Love From Outer Space years 2012-20. It is a homage just as a monument we hope for his creative output. Enjoy the ride.

Social(ist) Edits series returns with 6 refixes by https://soundcloud.com/pierrelabret, French electronic producer and head of the https://soundcloud.com/abstractrealityrecords label.
This selection of Acid, Electro, and Italo Disco remixes of old and obscure gems transports you into a distinctive side of Labret’s musical universe, one of cyborg bats dropping acidic guano on politicians, abandoned factories inhabited by grimy urban cryptids, and floating Mayan pyramids beneath a stormy, menacing night sky.

There is a fine line between the concepts of Edit and Remix on these tracks. Although the original audio elements were preserved and used as a foundation, Pierre has completely reinterpreted most of them by adding his own synthesizers and drum machines, creating a new meat carcass over the original skeleton.
The result is a collection of enhanced, radioactive mutant versions of the originals.

The release opens with an Edit of a track by late industrial artist and Palestine activist Muslimgauze.
Symbolically, the release will be out on June 17th, Bryn Jones’ birthday.
As always, all edits are available for free, but any support is welcome, as contributions from Edits will be donated to an organization supporting children in Gaza.

Released 17th June on 44,100Hz Social Club bandcamp.

Another four sonic alchemists return to the laboratory to transcend reference and embrace collision. No maps. No preconditions. Only the raw voltage of curiosity channeled into the unknown. Building on previous two Volumes’ radical deconstructions, this third chapter dissolves sound into its elemental particles. Mutating ambient textures, fracturing rhythmic DNA and forging unstable compounds from modular chaos and digital ether. Here, experimentation isn’t method. It’s mandate.

VA – Plankton Repellent Sound Research Ⅲ (Aug 1, 2025)

We're back with a fantastic edit from @user-84053657 that should keep the summer toes moving. 

"Ah Ya Albi" is a song originally performed by Egyptian singer Hakim. The song, which translates to "Oh My Heart", is a popular Arabic song known for its energetic and emotional style. This song is the best manifestation of the period when Arabic folk (known as shaabi) expressing itself through contemporary sounds. 

Hakim, often called "The Lion of Shaabi," played a key role in popularizing this genre globally, infusing it with contemporary beats while keeping its roots in Egyptian street culture. "Ah Ya Albi" stands out for its catchy melody, powerful vocals, and the raw, heartfelt expression typical of shaabi music.

In her own words....

I chose this track because I have always been captivated by the vibrant and mystical sounds of Middle Eastern music. As a DJ, I often perform at parties dedicated to Middle Eastern electronic rhythms, one of which is held in Russia, in Orenburg, called Chastota 528. This track beautifully embodies the rich colors and soulful melodies of the East. When I first heard it, I was instantly inspired and felt a deep desire to transform it into an electronic version that would capture its essence and bring its magic to life on the dance floor.

SINCHI EDITS 29 - Hakim - Ah Ya Albi (Misata Edit)

Andrew Weatherall's first official posthumous mix. The only b2b DJ Harvey ever agreed to. Six hours at Trouw. Full send — this one's special.

When mulling which direction to go in for RA's 1000th mix celebrations, many options came to mind. Some shadowy character 2-stepping around the fringe of our collective consciousness? An impossible-level IDM icon?

All tempting. But, ultimately, we are a DJ-forward publication and this is a DJ mix series. It felt truer to the history of the RA Podcast to release deep vault material from a time when the world of niche records felt different, tighter, more discrete.

The fourth-longest mix in the series' history is an unrepeatable marathon set recorded in 2012 at a superclub that no longer exists. 2012, incidentally, is farther away from 2025 than 2012 was from 2000... if we have to clock it, so do you.

It's the coming together of one British icon who passed away in 2020, and another whose time on the road has scaled back considerably as of late. DJ Harvey agreed to exactly one b2b set in his life: this one, with Andrew Weatherall.

The night took place at Trouw, an Amsterdam club already considered legendary before it shuttered its doors in the opening hours of 2015, as part of an RA series anchored around start-to-close combinations. Harvey was at the peak of an irresistible career second act, which dovetailed with a disco revival that dominated clubs for years. Weatherall, with infinite brownie points stockpiled from the '90s, remained everyone's favourite debonair psychonaut. 

What follows is 385 scintillating minutes of arpeggiated chug and slow-cresting climaxes, chronicling a moment when the resting heart rate of dance floors plunged lower than potentially any comparable point in the 21st century. A masterclass, and entirely self-contained in audio form.

If you've got time to spare, a fun side game is sussing out who plays what. A disco-dub cover of Echo & the Bunnymen? Smart money's on Weatherall. Exuberant EQ'ing of The Isley Brothers? Gotta be Harvey. As for the low 'n slow, lightly spangled house that was all the rage in the early 2010s (think Maxxi Soundsystem, Disco Bloodbath, Rub & Tug, C.O.M.B.I. and Full Pupp), it's anyone's guess. 127 BPM feels practically like a racecar.

When we kicked off our RA.1000 campaign, we outlined a few goals: tick off a handful of long-awaited dream guests, honour architects who shaped the world around us and deliver recordings you truly can't hear anywhere else. We sought to render an accurate picture of DJ culture in 2025 for the longhaul.

DJing and the mythmaking around it has undergone a quantum leap since 2012, let alone 2006, 1996 or 1989. For those of us who were kicking around in the former, there's a creeping melancholy that our prime is fast becoming a matter of historical record. The killing moon really did come too soon. 

Where will electronic music, DJ sets or any of this be in 2044? Hard to say. Best not to overthink that one. Instead, we want to say thanks to all contributors on the series so far. Now enjoy luxuriating in the company of two of the greatest to ever do it, together, for the first and last time.⁠ – Gabriel Szatan (Editor, RA)
