Given hip hop's position as pop culture's new musical lingua franca in the 21st Century, it's not a stretch to suggest Gil Scott-Heron is one of the most influential recording artists of the past 100 years, given his role as the progenitor of the genre. The Chicago-born poet electrified R&B, disco, jazz & later electronic productions with no-nonsense street reportage, and critiques on the ills of a broken America. He inspired a legion of artists with his militant faith in his own beliefs.
This 2 hour compilation brings together the breadth of Heron’s work, combining soul, blues and jazz, with comedy, spoken word and a piercing insight into race relations in 20th century America.

This show has been compiled by Robbie Warin and is dedicated to Henry Miller, who first introduced him to Scott-Heron’s music.

"In honor of black music month, I created a mix of some of my favorite tracks, records, artists and labels from the 90s to present. The mix spans across different eras and subgenres of house music, keeping depth of rhythm and emotion at the forefront. It showcases my taste for deep cuts, off kilter sounds, and classic underground Chicago and Detroit themes, moving from low to high energy across 90 minutes.  Dedicated to all black music makers past and present. "

Balearic Blue

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.

French touch innovator, weirdo-house prophet, the man who brought us the über-classic “Deep Burnt”: Meet the one and only Pépé Bradock. Very few house producers are held in the sky-high esteem as Julien Auger. For Roof.fm, Monsieur Bradock recorded a rare and truly special mix. In person, he turned out to be a gentle French eccentric. So, a bit like his music is the man himself? Only fitting then that we did an unconventional interview with him. We asked Pépé to verbally improvise to this mix, which is really a selection of personal favourites. Read and listen closely, you might learn a thing or two about the grand riddler Pépé Bradock.
