Just a little simple mix I did for Pride.  I was going to perfect it a little more but I said fuck it.  Hope you enjoy.

A clinic in minimal from the elusive Acting Press boss. 

Why do certain sounds cultivate a cult following? Simply put, it's often because they resist easy consumption. PLO Man and his imprint Acting Press lean into this. 

Searching for the Berlin-based DJ and producer, you won’t find much online presence, interviews or conventional PR. What you will find, if you look hard enough, is a catalogue of records and mixes with a kind of tape hiss charm (a spiritual successor to Basic Channel and Chain Reaction, but scuzzier and lighter on its feet).

Founded in 2015, Acting Press once seemed to belong to the short-lived "outsider house" trend, but is now synonymous with a certain strain of modern minimal, one that is analogue, spacious and pointedly opaque. PLO Man's output is equally sparse by design: this week, he joins the RA Podcast with a characteristically elusive style, accompanying the near two-hour mix is a one-answer Q&A that gives almost nothing away.

Stripped-back, ever-so-slightly sleazy and coated in dust, PLO Man's RA Podcast continues that lineage in style. Opening with the featherlight microhouse of Margaret Dygas, RA.988 unfolds into a carefully curated spectrum of minimal, dub and deep techno. Among familiar names—look out for the blinding Rhythm & Sound and Moodymann blend—are deep cuts and left turns alongside the odd outlier, like lovers' rock pioneer Gregory Isaacs.

Like the best of his forebears, PLO Man wants RA.988 to take time for you to settle in. But once you do, you won’t want to leave.

RA.988 PLO Man

San Fran beefcake DJ Jesse Frank digs into the deepest corners of his crates for 90 minutes of masterfully mixed italo-disco and Hi-NRG dance tunes. Jesse is one of the italo-disco’s most thorough collectors, matched by his skills as a seamless DJ and editor. I first heard Jesse while tuning into Phoenix’s Record Bar Radio during the pandemic. I was hearing a flawless set of Italo-Disco tracks I'd never encountered before. After reaching out, it was clear that this guy had an encyclopedic knowledge of rare 80’s European dance music that went beyond the average DJ fed by reissue comps and YouTube algorithms. This was someone who built a collection off of research and carved their path through the crates of the past. This mix has been a long time coming, and Jesse more than delivers something special. You know a DJ mix crosses from great to unforgettable when every track is a fresh discovery and an absolute banger.
