A1 Deep inside love
A2 Higher
B1 Get up
B2 Higher (Demi Riquísimo remix)

Europe's first lady of House is back on Heist with a massive new EP and a Demi Riquísimo remix. 

Cinthie’s 2023 Piano Heaven EP on Heist was a big release for both her and the label, getting tons of airplay and support from the likes of Pete Tong, Danny Howard, Chloe Caillet and Blessed Madonna. The Dam Swindle remix of ‘Won’t u take me’ that followed on that year’s Round Up is still among her top tracks on any platform. Cinthie now returns to Heist with an EP full of dancefloor weapons that range from classic grooving house to quirky rave.  

With her frequent plays at renowned clubs all over the world, as well as spots in her Berlin back yard like Panorama bar, Cinthie has the ideal testing grounds for new peak-time material. And that’s exactly what the A1 ‘Deep inside love’ is: an epic peaktime weapon. With a stomping beat and signature uplifting keys, she serves up themes of classic 80s and 90s house music with a modern aesthetic. With that, Deep inside love has all the ingredients to become an instant Heist classic. 

The A2 shows us Cinthie’s rave side, where we see her inspiration from the current dancefloor high octane energy. Or maybe it’s just her early rave days that are finally back in the limelight after her well received ‘Rave Baby’ release on Aus Music. Either way, ‘Higher’ is a fun tune with an infectious beat, classic rave stabs and a female vocal telling us to take her higher. We’re sure that this won’t be a problem, cause this track is built for those clubby highs. 

‘Get up’ is a lovely organ-led track with long ethereal strings and dubby vocal chops. The breakdown deepens the mood with some heavy chords tuned in true house style before a free-flowing drum roll (crashes and claps included) catapult you into back into the full groove. 

We asked close friend Demi Riquísimo, a man not unfamiliar with dancefloor wizardry himself as head honcho of Semi Delicious records, for a remix on ‘Higher’. His version is exactly what you’d expect from a class producer like him: it’s a breezy, effortless, mildly throwbacky and most definitely fun remix to conclude an EP that navigates through all kinds of moods with one clear goal in mind: Make people dance.  

Enjoy the music and as always, play it loud!

UC021 // Less is more is the mantra for Sydney-based producer, Harley Ferris where precision propels both his productions & selections to great effect. All of this is on display in the following mix which manages to feel rich for its hour long run time.

As always we’ve published a accompanying interview with Harley where he offers some perspective on getting unstuck in the production process, a few good stories from memorable times on the dancefloor and announces an upcoming self released EP.

"When I was at Outsider and some of the other sets I’ve been seeing recently, I realised how much I love sets where there’s one track every now and then with a big build up and you feel like you’ve earned it and the rest is just relentless drums and groove the whole time.  So that’s what I tried to do here.”

A queer icon steps up for RA.998's B-side.

The RA Podcast began with RA.001 in 2006. Since then, it's spotlighted the best and brightest in dance music every week, without fail. As we approach our 1,000th episode next month, we're switching things up, pairing artists whose sounds complement one another and, in doing so, zeroing in on the forces shaping the past, present and future of electronic culture.

This week, we shift lanes to Roza Terenzi and Kim Ann Foxman, two artists who strike a rare balance between reverence and reinvention. Both are key figures in queer clubbing circles, deeply informed by the halcyon days of '90s and early '00s club music yet fully committed to pushing it forward.

Each artist has carved out a distinct path. Roza Terenzi started out in Perth, Australia, before making a home in Berlin in 2020, while the Hawaii-born Foxman made her name in New York by way of San Francisco in the early '00s. For RA.998, they've contributed separate mixes, to be enjoyed together as two parts of the same whole.

Foxman takes the B-side and makes her RA Podcast debut. As a vocalist for Hercules & Love Affair and a sought-after producer in her own right, the New York-based artist blends club heft and melodic flourish with a distinct pop sensibility shaped by '90s dance music. (She got her first job making smoothies at an all-ages club in Hawaii while Deee-Lite performed live behind her.)

Like Roza Terenzi, Foxman draws from across eras. Her contribution to RA.998 is warm, expressive and emotionally tuned, unfurling a palette of house, breaks and trance laden with bright pads, bold hooks and an ear for atmosphere. Listen out for the Whitney Houston sample and you'll know what we mean. 

While Foxman and Roza Terenzi embrace a fun, vibrant musical style, their work is grounded in intentionality. They're invested in honouring the cultural and political roots of dance music: Foxman has long advocated for a more inclusive, community-driven club scene, while Roza Terenzi was among the first artists to begin pulling shows this summer as a matter of political principle.

Both sides of RA.998 show how the sounds of past eras can be reimagined to move seamlessly with the present. Hopefully you'll even feel a jolt of inspiration to get yourself to the nearest dance floor, ASAP.

The trance queen opens RA.998 with her cheeky, break-heavy vision.

Roza Terenzi opens with a high-impact A-side. Clocking in at just over an hour, her second mix for us picks up where the first left off, connecting breakbeat, acid, UK garage and trance with an ear for tension and a sense of play. Peppered among the skippy percussion and earworm vocals are moments of proper heft that build and release with purpose. It's cheeky, confident and tailor-made to get any dance floor moving.

Mantissa Mix 370: Gearmaster b2b Groove Research (Live @ Bar IDA)

We’re excited to welcome Osccurate to the label with his debut 3–track EP. A release that captures his sound in full, each track leans into a distinct trance-infused NRG while keeping a subtle, refined edge. We have been big fans of Osccurate’s work for a while now, so we are very happy to put this out to the world. 

The originals are joined by three remixes from CLOSE PROXIMITY, Oliver Scala, and Boudi. Each one reshapes the material in their own way, adding new perspectives to round out the EP.
