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 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. Recorded live at fabric last December as part of RA's 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 (2000). A capture of the Sound Signature boss on the dancefloor is hard to come by.

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 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. It's Theo through and through. Once again, he proves that anything and everything is possible with the right records.

Never Be Normal presents the eighteenth catalogue release — Naughty Business by London producer Daniel Anthony, recognized for his powerful, low-frequency-driven sound and releases on Moxy Muzik.

This EP delivers four shades of club momentum — from late-night warmth to high-voltage peak-time energy:
1. Naughty Business A heavy, rolling bass foundation, hypnotic vocal moments, and the signature swing that defines Daniel’s club impact.

2. Got The Beat A modern house roller with glowing synth textures and subtle Detroit DNA, built for warm-up flow or afternoon terraces.

3. MR DJ Chicago-inspired grit fused with UK bass movement — raw, punchy, and confident.

4. Naughty Business (JorDee Remix) A widescreen, cinematic reimagination from JorDee, powered by expressive string layers, deep garage-house rhythm, a massive sub foundation, and lush Korg M1 harmonics. One of his strongest remixes of the year.
Release date : December 5, 2025 
All platforms: December 19, 2025

Solid Steel (29th June) In Hour 1 we welcome Octo Octa ahead of the 'Under The Ballroom' EP which is out on 13th July via Skylax Records and also features music by Lauer and  Violence FM & The Underground Soulsavers. The Brooklyn producer has also released music on 100% Silk, Running Back, Argot and HNYTRX, and had this to say;
"I love house music. Vocals, bouncy percussion, and piano lines put me in headspace where I really lose myself. It lets me communicate feelings and ideas about body, love, and relationships. I feel like I can tell stories with house music. This vinyl mix was made at my house with records I've collected from different places that are all linked to people and moments in my life. I hope you enjoy it 💙"
