For the 11th installation of the selector series we have something super special for you! Founder of the legendary Lima-based party Discofobia, Disco heavy-weight and good friend @prolsound returned to his native home turfs a while ago and took the time to seep through dusty records across Las Palma's stores and conducted further in-depth investigations for this. With his secret not-so-secret alias "El  Barbón de la Isla" he recorded a mixtape suitable for the KS slow-flung afternoon vibes, yet full of danceable and forgotten Spanish gems, encompassing 80's heartbreaker synth-pop, euro-house rap variants, andalusian-acid pop, and tortilla-boogie (to the best of my knowledge). A firm editor's pick for sure, enjoy with ice-cold Tr*pical!

RITMO ASTRAL RADIO 2 MAY 25

Cat aka kidcat, is a vinyl DJ and co-founder of the label Pleasure.Patterns, is known for her dynamic blend of genres, ranging from disco and house to progressive house, trance, and groovy techno. She found her creative spark in Berlin’s underground scene, where her passion for DJing flourished. Kidcat thrives on the entire journey of music, from the thrill of digging through crates to unearth hidden gems, to sharing those discoveries on the dance floor and witnessing the pure joy they bring to the crowd.
This mix was captured at the release party for Cosmic Sound by Daniele Baldelli (ELSI). Set in a backyard in Berlin Mitte, friends and community gathered for an intimate evening on a hot July day. The intimate setting gave space for the music to unfold organically, carried by cosmic grooves and disco-tinged rhythms.

Kidcat - Discoteca Podcast 162 [Cosmic Sounds Record Party]

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)
