First ever b2b DJ set from Colorful Language. More here: https://soundcloud.com/colorful-language

Colorful Language b2b Closing Set at Groove Together 3/7/25 (tech house & techno)

I’ve been a DJ since 1992, and I’ve played countless unforgettable sets over the years— but this night hit different. After 13 years, I returned as a headliner, and the energy, the love, the vibe… it couldn’t have been more perfect.

What made it even more special was being surrounded by likeminded house heads—people who live and breathe this music just like I do. We weren’t just playing records… we were grooving together. The community that Josh and Mari are building is something rare and beautiful, and I’m incredibly honored to have been part of that journey.

To everyone who came out, danced, and shared that magic with us—thank you from the bottom of my heart. That set was pure passion, and I can honestly say it was one of the greatest of my career.

Jon Mavek at Groove Together 5.24.25.

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)

Coming in hot from the best party in the Finger Lakes. About half the tracks are mine or my band @colorful-language. Most of those are unreleased.

In retrospect, it's clear that Josh couldn't escape his destiny in electronic music. At 8 years old, he purchased his first record, a 45 of Sweet Dreams, and fell in love with the synthesized bass. Fast-forward to now, his DJ style is a polyamorous exploration of a genre-fluid relationship between house, disco, and techno.

Josh's love for music pushed him to learn guitar and trumpet, and he played in a funk band in college. At the same time, he started an electronic music radio show on 91.1 WSPN, and his record collection took off. In 1997, his friend Pete taught him to beat-match and mix records, and the duo founded Triple X Music to produce and promote large warehouse raves in upstate NY until 2001.

Josh then relocated to NYC and reconnected with his college friend Tom. They began a series of weekly outdoor daytime parties under the Williamsburg Bridge at Rock Star Bar. Josh and Tom also began collaborating to produce house and techno music under the name Colorful Language. You can hear more from Josh here: ffm.bio/josh2x
