This week we welcome Cap to the mix series. Schooled in the world of Romanian minimal and house, these-days you'll often find him behind the scene's most revered booths and parties from Club Guesthouse to NYC's ReSolute and Amsterdam's VBX but to name a few.

A hypnotic DJ, he possess depth, groove and impressive musical breadth, sliding between house, techno, minimal and plenty more with mischievous ease.  He spins at Dimensions for the first time this summer, and if this classy 80 minutes is anything to go by, we're in for a serious treat.

Three hours of high drama, recorded live at Nowadays in New York.

We know what you're thinking: why did it take so long to get Binh on the RA Podcast? There's no easy answer, especially given that he's been a favourite of ours for over a decade now. So to make up for lost time, the revered digger lands on the series with a tantalising three-hour mix, recorded live at Nowadays in New York earlier this year.

Crammed with rare and unreleased gems spanning house, techno, and electro, RA.989 is heavy on drama, catching the Düsseldorf native in unbridled performance mode.

This is Binh in 2025. But rewind across the past two decades and you'll find a DJ who excels in pretty much any situation, whether warming up for Zip or Margaret Dygas, going back-to-back with masters like Nicolas Lutz or rolling out solo sets that stretch across ten or even 12 hours.

He's acted out all these scenarios most often at Berlin institution Club der Visionaere, the cosy canalside club that became a kind-of spiritual home. (He'd sometimes spend every night of the week there, before parenting duties got the better of him.)

To play for half a day you need a lot of records, and the backbone of Binh's craft has long been a freakish passion for vinyl. Along with Lutz, Vera, and others in CDV's orbit, he approaches the pursuit of wax, new and old, with next-level dedication and a fondness for blind buys. 

That's true of RA.989, although among the un-Shazamables are many tracks that are either out or coming out on Binh's popular Time Passages label. The mix finds him on a house-y tip, luxuriating in roomy basslines, driving 303s and twinkly melodies—with just the right amount of evil. Lock in and savour a one-of-a-kind DJ, completely in the zone.

Mix number 14 in our series, and the first live recording from Bonanza 2025 from none other than Ivan Smagghe. 

Recorded on the Sunday night of the festival, Ivan ushered the terrace through the penultimate set, handing over to Unai Trotti just before the light began to creep in over the river for the final sunrise of Bonanza. This is Ivan in deep, trippy and bewitching mode, just how we like it. 

In his own words, “I am always unsure recordings translate what happens in the moment, but people like them”. Hopefully some of the electricity from what was an incredibly special experience at the time trickles though your speakers at home xx

Rio 014 - Ivan Smagghe (recorded live at Bonanza 2025)

We are proud to present a recording from the archives of Romanian artist Dan Andrei, and this recording is worth the wait. A name that is synonymous with high-grade electronic music in all its many forms, his work behind in the DJ booth is matched by few, as every set results in a truly mind-expanding journey. A constant in the [a:rpia:r] core setup, he has been at the centre of the Romanian minimal community since he decided on his chosen path. This meant that he quickly outgrew his homeland and was then called upon to soundtrack the world's best parties with a constant touring schedule that has taken him near and far. To list the parties that he has graced in recent years would take an eternity, but if you have been to Sunwaves there is a high chance that you would have caught him in action. [continue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/podcast/trommel-220-dan-andrei-live-recording-at-sw31/]
