C.K at Ring, Horst Arts & Music 2025

I remember dancing for hours and hours at the Sleepless Floor in the summer of 2010. A dancefloor that, as the names says, never stops. It was the first time I heard house music the right way and I also remember hearing ‘Music Is The Answer’ by Danny Tenaglia and saying to my friend Boris: “I think it got me, the virus, it got me.” I wasn’t wrong. House music gave me so much in the years after and in a way it also saved me. Those early years were at times lonely and dark. Going out back then was confusing, when the only people that looked like me in clubs were security guards or the cleaning staff. It was supposed to be about freedom and togetherness right, but where was everyone? Luckily that darkness gave room to light and I found my people (and I keep finding them!) and I held on to house music, it was an embrace for eternity and it became the center of my work. I could channel my emotions through it and it never left, it became my home. So that’s why I decided to start this mix series. House Is Where The Heart Is. A series that will probably go on forever if it’s up to me. For the music that gave me the key to it’s home and and welcomed me in.

House Is Where The Heart Is

Andrés  - New For U

Part two of RA.996 comes from a modern-day house luminary. 

As part of our countdown to RA.1000, a milestone in the 24-year history of RA's weekly mix series, we're switching up the usual format. The next few editions will pair two acts who compliment each other's strengths, offering a fresh take on a particular community, scene or style.

This week, we're zeroing in on two names who fly the flag high for old-school, US  house—a foundational pillar of the electronic underground. The first half comes from Ron Trent, which you can read more about here. 

On the B-side is Ash Lauryn. Hailing from Detroit, she's a modern-day house savant. Her comprehensive understanding of the genre's history—knowledge gained from the Detroit greats who that inspired her—and her own inimitable blend of old-world soul meets new-school grooves make her a force to be reckoned with. 

A former RA contributor, Lauryn keeps it <i>real</i>, whether in the booth or beyond. A role model to a new generation of DJs, she can just as easily be found teaching workshops at Underground Music Academy in Detroit or sharing tricks of the trade in the green room at some of the best clubs in the world.

An unwavering champion of Black dance music, the Atlanta resident makes it a point to play as much Black American music as possible, as she told us in her 2019 podcast. Not much has changed since then. Her contribution to RA.996 spans favourites like Larry Heard, Mood II Swing, Byron The Aquarius, Moodymann, Ron Trent and plenty of Detroit heavy-hitters.

Listened to together, both mixes are a powerful snapshot of house's timeless elegance and, most importantly, understated yet innately euphoric joy.

RA.996 Ash Lauryn

This collaboration has its roots all the way back in 2020, when the Desmond crew and DANN first started working together. What began as production work for others quickly evolved into a shared creative journey—fueled by friendship and a mutual love for music.

In November 2024 DANN hosted a writing camp on Ibiza, inviting several talented producers—including Desmond to create freely and experiment. During the very first session “everybody” was born. From the moment the track came together they knew it had something special.
Blending classic UK Garage grooves with a funky rhythm and bass-heavy drive, “everybody” hits hard in the club, but still feels right at home through your headphones. The catchy vocal gives it a familiar / hooky feel—striking the perfect balance between energy and emotion.

The track has already caught the attention of key names in the scene, including Saint Ludo, and now after some fine-tuning it’s finally ready to be shared with the world!
