a morning warm up in a sea of mud overlooking Mt Fuji. This was my first set of the day, to be followed a few hours later with a b2b, at the very first edition of Transcendence, a cute and cosy festival in Japan. Big thank you to Takumi Inamoto and DJ Maria for everything.

Parabel Podcast #71 - Ray Kajioka

Originally from Sulcis, Nicola Barca began his musical journey at just 10 years old, studying music theory and wind instruments at a music school, drawn to genres such as Jazz, Soul, Rock, and Metal.  
The discovery of The Prodigy led him to explore electronic music, and by the age of 15, he was already collecting and mixing vinyl records.  
After years of collaborations and productions with the top labels in the global Hardtechno scene, the MODEL SHAPE project was born in 2016, blending hardgroove sounds with the hypnotism of Deep Techno.  
A resident DJ at Basstation for 8 years and a producer, he continues to explore new sonic horizons, with a new EP on the way.

Me and Ben thought it would be fun to play a long DJ set together at Globus, the upstairs floor at Tresor in Berlin. 
We last played together (as Frequency 7) in May 2013. This time we played a ‘back to back’ DJ set, I’m pretty sure playing 2 tracks each for the whole six and a half hour set. All we had in mind beforehand was to start with some Dub and ‘see where it goes’. 

It was a lot of fun so we wanted to share the recording with you.

10 hours behind the decks at Stereo Montreal - what a journey. On July 5th, I had the honor of playing an extended set that pushed every boundary, and the connection with the crowd was unforgettable. Moments like this remind me why I do what I do. Thank you, Montreal - here’s a piece of that night for you to relive.

Soul Button - 10 hours extended set at Stereo Montreal - July 5, 2025

For RA.1000, we take it back to the source with two never-before-heard tapes from Frankie Knuckles's private collection

There is no house music without Frankie Knuckles, literally or figuratively. The queer icon's luxurious DJ sets at Chicago's Warehouse gave a rising movement its name. From there, countless offshoots splintered and travelled the globe. But what did the genesis and growth of the sound really feel like?

The Godfather of House left behind not only timeless records, but personalised cassettes with hand-drawn liner notes handed out to friends and family. Two of those, dated to 1989 and 1996, have been digitised especially for RA.1000. (Thank you to the Frankie Knuckles Foundation.)

To put that in context: the first tape predates not only many of today's active clubbers, but the entire existence of jungle, drum & bass, UK garage, French touch, Jersey club, Afrobeats, IDM, baile funk, hardcore, footwork, dubstep, dub techno, tech house, breaks, minimal, maximal, gqom, gabber, grime and hyperpop.

In short… that's a very, very long time ago. The world of dance music was much smaller. DJ culture was functionally unrecognisable from the one we see in 2025. 

And yet, to some degree, what you'll hear on RA.1000 hasn't changed at all. It's a capture of not only what made Frankie Knuckles one of the beloved pioneers of first-generation dance music, but what draws people to club culture in the first place.

The mood on these Frankie Knuckles sets outlasts even its creator: a spirit of optimism that floods the world's best dance floors and keeps dance music pulsing on into the future, nearly 40 years later, in spite of it all. We end our 1000th mix celebrations here because it all starts there.
