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.

Fun Fun Mix 61 - Scotia

https://soundcloud.com/bondsergio eligió a Daniela Mercury para representar la parte brasuca de las divas latinas, ya que su música forma parte de sus orígenes y de la banda sonora con la que creció. Su versión de “O mais belo dos belos”, la reinterpreta en clave club/marcha, manteniendo la esencia original pero con nuevos hi-hats, kicks y una línea de bajo propia. 
Daniela Mercury, figura central del Axé bahiano de los 90 y pionera en fusionar percusión afro-bahiana con pop y electrónica, fue una de las primeras grandes artistas brasileñas en hablar abiertamente de su amor por otra mujer, y hoy sigue siendo una voz clave por los derechos LGBTQIA+, la igualdad racial y el empoderamiento femenino.
