Bross, Nightclubber Podcast 215

Im bored so lets record a random mix...mix

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: a moment when the resting heart rate of dance floors plunged lower than any comparable point in the 21st century. A masterclass, 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 an F1 car.

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)

Make A Dance @ Juicy Bar – Garbicz Festival 2025

Ohhhhh Bucht der Träumer* Festival 🥹
Mirage, Friday night 2-4 was a pure love explosion 💥
So many smiles, hugs and yes… even the little Sandman showed up on the dancefloor.🌙
Endless love for the magic, to the crew for the insane stage design (and the labyrinth that almost ate me twice 😂) to @rebelliondertraumer for having me and to my dear @kotoekk for your trust. 💖

Hello wonderful people, 
this is our daytime set from Saturday at Schweissperle at Bucht der Träumer* Festival.
This wasn’t a set about driving the dancefloor. It was an invitation to listen, to breathe, to soften, to simply be. And whenever we looked around, we saw exactly that: people feeling free to do what felt right in that moment, dancing slowly in the sunlight, smiling at each other, hugging, crying, resting, whatever their hearts called for. It was truly touching to witness this unfolding around us.

So when people came over during or after the set, hugging us with tears in their eyes, saying the music moved them so deeply it filled them with gratitude for life and for the ones they love and care for… uff. These are the moments we live and create music for: to be human together in sound.

Sometimes, when words fall short, the music speaks. And in this space, it spoke for us and with you. Every track we chose carries a special place in our hearts. This set was very personal, and sharing it with you in this way meant so much to us.

Endless gratitude to @arnau-yuna for trusting us and inviting us into this moment. To the whole crew for building such a cozy, beautiful floor, and to @rebelliondertraumer for shaping a weekend full of magic that is one of the highlights of the summer for so many of us. And to every single soul who opened up, showed vulnerability, or reached out with the sweetest messages full of honesty and warmth. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We hope each of you found just what you needed out there.

With love,

M & J

After a creative break, we’re excited to return with a new chapter of our podcast series. For this restart, we’re especially delighted to have our dear friend @pulli_music on board.

Her sound has inspired us for a long time, which makes it all the nicer to present her set from this year’s Mystic Creatures Festival as our latest down.cast episode.

We hope you enjoy listening these two hours of high energy music — and floating back for a short trip with us to our favorite island.

Woow, what a ride! Thank you for that beautiful experience and for the invitation, @serafinaudio and @beateuwe.
I met so many wonderful people this evening. Being surrounded by friends and downtempo lovers made me feel so warm and safe. I also had the opportunity to meet some of my favorite artists, who have inspired me for years and had a big influence on my sound. Hope to see you soon <3

slow child (live) @ Beate Barfuß x Serafin 12.10.2025

This week on In The Basement, Paul Inflyte hands over the turntables to a long-
time friend and fellow veteran of Belfast’s late-90s club scene, Eamonn
Jennings. From the days of Irish rave culture to his current residencies at Plan
B, Celtronic, and Frequency at Sandinos in Derry, Eamonn’s journey through
underground house and techno runs deep. Ahead of their back-to-back set at
the Freebooter Lounge / Plan B takeover of Word Of Mouth in Ibiza this
weekend, he delivers a special one-hour preview mix of what’s to come.
