I'm having a Junior Vasquez moment this week & maybe next week. I really miss hearing him live. He always allowed me to hang out with him in the DJ booth with him... & I would just sit down drinking my cold beers & soaking in the moment. It was like I was going to DJ Class & Professor Junior was teaching me how to work a crowd. I must say, I learned a lot from my brother.
I will forever be grateful for his kindness towards me. Junior is 1 true brother.

Enjoy,

DJ Pierre @ Hard Times, Bel-Air Huddersfield [Out Of Order] 1994

RA.1000 launches with Theo Parrish, live at fabric: a vanishingly rare club mix from the king of deep crates and impossible transitions.

There are DJ sets and then there are Theo sets. No matter how many times you've caught him in action, every time still feels like the first. Running hot, levels smoking, isolator working over time. You think you know dance music? Think again.

Parrish's long-awaited debut on the RA Podcast is a milestone for the series, one we've sought for over 15 years. So it was only right that Theo led off our 1000th celebrations, the first of ten mixes this week. Recorded live at fabric last December as part of RA's collaborative party with the London club for their 25th anniversary, this three-hour segment documents the crescendo of his eight-hour marathon. 

The Detroit legend doesn't release mixes often, and when he does, they're usually studio recordings: think NTS shows, his 100% Detroit edition of DJ-Kicks or classic tapes Body (1997) and Methods of Movement (2020). A capture of the Sound Signature boss on the dancefloor is hard to come back. On RA.1000, you'll hear Theo in his element.

Sure, there's galvanising build-ups and crowd-pleasers, but laced throughout a Parrish beatdown are rarities designed to shock the system. In a business dominated by image-driven marketing, the vinyl master towers above thanks to a relentless hunger for lustrous melodies, moods and textures of all stripes, which he and he alone can fold into an inspiring and exhilarating joyride.

On RA.1000, blissful reggae precedes new wave disco; '80s R&B morphs into synthy techno; bleepy Chicago jack makes way for a poignant vocal ballad. Theo, once again, proves that anything and everything is possible with the right records.

The 1st Moss Pig Mix is delivered in the form of Solar Boy, an early incarnation of Solarkat aka Coldfuture. (The 'kat has 9 lives, dig).

Long time raver and friend of the scene at large, in this segment Solarkat looks back at the type of transcendent and mysterious DJing he grew up around. Using tracks both recent, and ancient, this set is eclectic, psychedelic, unpredictable, and ultimately a journey leading to dancing and release.

The concept is "Front Range Hardcore", the varied and intense sound of Colorado's music scene... an idea born during a late night haze session with BeermoneyUSA. It is also a revisit to the very first styles I ever DJed.

The mix was created with 2 Technics 1210mk2 turntables, an Allen & Heath Xone:62, and a Kaoss Pad effects unit, recorded to a Tascam portable recorder.

Moss Pig Mix 001 - SoLaRkaT -  A Raver's History

The ends-of-years, with their planetary rotations, hibernations, sheddings, rejuvenations, and regenerations mark a certain pause or contain a condensed (frustrated) energy of emergence. This time, we mark that moment with a welcomed contribution from Mansour Al-Amin-Dyer. 

In his words, Mansour is "on a path of rediscovery in order to construct his own brand of authenticity. The mix I have presented for AW/OA, as Manny 'Nuff, is another exercise in mining the more nuanced bits that connect yesteryear into the present and beyond."

Originally from Chicago, and recently re-located to Denver, you can catch him around the building his unique presence through the transnational collective, Peer Review, which is focused on enhancing the already promising underground dance community.

Ryan Scannura Live at Laundry Spin Cycle 16 DEC 2018

You said you wanted some mixes, so...

SoLaRkaT AKA Victor John AKA Coldfuture AKA that dude from way back, doing the January 2019 mix for Moss Pig. 

This is another mix in an attempt to describe Front Range Hardcore, the acid-tweeked, ineffable style of the Colorado scene.

This episode is a reaction to the state of affairs today in our country, as well as a meditation on those who came before us and paved the way for equality among different ethnicities.

Martin Luther King Jr was a living cross-roads in history. For this recording I tried to place myself at that cross-roads, an observer & supporter. A perspective from right in the middle of the chaos, the tension of the Civil Rights Movement, and of the tensions that exist across our land in the present.

"We go forward... we go back" Leto Atreides II

I love you, and may the Spirit bless you all. PLUR

Alala One (@alalaone)- DJ, producer and all-around staple of the Colorado techno scene - is our contributor for the month of February. She has been DJing for over 15 years and collecting records for longer - and her mixes, needless to say, reflect her refined talent as a selector.  But her work within the scene has not been limited to DJing; she's also been intimately involved with the curation and production of the respected (but recently retired) Boulder-based festival Communikey.  With beginnings playing parties for CO's long-running collective Mother Earth Sound System (MESS), she's spent years immersed in her passion and has since spun alongside Nina Kraviz and DJ Stingray, just to name a few.  For her, DJing is a craft, and this cross-genre mix, which blends compelling, leftfield techno with off-kilter electro cuts, creates a deep listening experience that is fresh, surprising, and highly engaging.  It's.so.good.

Enjoy!
