Imaginative Soundscapes | Journey 001: Deeper Space with Coyote - August 2025

The inaugural journey of Imaginative Soundscapes begins with a truly special guide. Long-time custodians of Balearic soul and masters of sun-warmed musical storytelling, Coyote step into our cosmos with a mix that embodies both timeless familiarity and fresh exploration.

“Deeper Space” drifts between dream states and desert horizons, a soundtrack that feels suspended between sunrise and starlight. Gentle rhythms and textured atmospheres weave together with organic warmth, shaping a soundscape designed for those who wander inward and travel without moving.

This is the essence of our new chapter — immersive journeys that invite you to unlock your imagination, lose sense of time, and let music paint the spaces in between.

Imaginative Soundscapes | Journey 001: Deeper Space with Coyote - August 2025

Hey y’all! We’re back! This one has been a long time coming. I’m extremely excited to present to you the latest Idle Cellars mix, made by Melbourne’s Jazz-Funk-Cosmic-Disco masters Mildlife! A bit of a hail-mary pass, it was a dream to ask these guys to give us a mix for the series and I’m so happy they said yes! Kev McDowell, who sings and plays synths, put the mix together on the heels of re-starting their excellent Very Fantastic Radio podcast (which you should go subscribe to immediately) and he’s handed in a stone-cold-killer of a mix, a 90-minute journey through more genres than you can count. Which is well-Balearic in our book! 

I have been a staunch advocate of this band since hearing their defining single “The Magnificent Moon” back in 2017. Their music has been a revelation to me and, after seeing them something like five times I can safely say they are one of the best live acts in the world at the moment. Do not sleep on them, and if you haven’t heard their albums Phase, Automatic or Chorus, get thee to a record shop, stat!

Many thanks to Kev for creating a fantastic mix for us and Mildlife management Benny & Will for making it happen!

Mildlife - Idle Cellars Mix

Sunday Soundz - Episode 92

The arena-conquering duo glide from gritty rave to skyscraping arpeggios on RA.1000, a mix many years in the making.

A new name undeniably entered the pantheon of major electronic live acts over the past decade: next to Faithless, The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers, now sit @feelmybicep.

The Belfast duo's music doesn't half reach for the stars: a melodic blend of ambient, breakbeat, trance and tech house, able to turn the biggest arenas into intimate affairs.

If anything, mainstream success, BRIT Award nominations and mammoth dance crossovers like "Glue" have only hardened Andy Ferguson and Matt McBriar's resolve to keep innovating.

Their prized blog, running for nearly as long as the RA Podcast, regularly platforms upcoming artists. And you won't find many festival headliners releasing climate change-themed records with Indigenous artists, as they did recently on Takkuuk.

RA.1000 exists in that spirit. After many polite declines, and before a year off to usher in the next era, Bicep come through at the last: from dub techno and screwface breaks to São Paulo garage, before a tide of signature synths floods the zone. Stadium-sized intimacy at its finest.

RA.1000 Bicep

Andrew Weatherall's first official posthumous mix. The only b2b DJ Harvey ever agreed to. Six hours at Trouw. 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. Full send.

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)

RA.1000 DJ Harvey & Andrew Weatherall

At an intimate boutique gathering high in the mountains above Hsinchu, Taiwan, Pete “Padre” Lazonby delivered a rare live set of all-original, mostly unreleased material. Among its highlights are unique live renditions of Selva and Mitosis from his recent Isolate release, ISO043 with Bar.ba.
Performing with an industrial joystick encased in a handcrafted, eight-sided wooden console, Lazonby translates filter sweeps into a visual spectacle - letting the audience see the movement of sound as vividly as they hear it.
The journey flows seamlessly from 138 to 122 BPM, maintaining a serene, meditative undercurrent even as its existential midsection pulses with dark, electrifying energy.

Mix combining Underworld's Dawn of Eden from the Frankenstein OST, their 2012 Olympic theme Caliban's Dream, with the euphoria of Two Months Off (Album Version,  Two Months Off (r18 DAT July 2001b id 1 R89), and Two Months Off (Live on KCRW).

Every Star needs the Galaxy ⭐️✨⭐️✨⭐️✨⭐️✨⭐️✨
An intergalactic journey of space disco electronica dedicated to my hero and my  eternal inspiration A.W. <3 <3 <3 
As a gratitude for all these unforgettable moments in  outer space, as well as for everything I have learned from The Guv'nor.
Sounds from unknown and distant galaxies resulting in a cosmic mixture that makes this set a real interplanetary experience.

I don't know any other way to say goodbye to you, other than the one you thought me, with the music.
Because dancing is essential, singing is optional 
and it's ok to cry. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
You and your music will always live in our hearts. ❤️❤️❤️
🚀🚀🚀 Forever and Ever 🚀🚀🚀
Expect the unexpected and enjoy the journey !
