Tony is a real joy to listen to , a great interview .

Can we get an update on Tony & Funktion One in 2025 🙏🏽

“I actually believe that humans are made for more than what we're currently doing. We just need to switch on parts of our brains that we're not." Funktion-One creator Tony Andrews reflects on music and spirituality live from AVA London.

According to visionary sound system designer Tony Andrews, the creator of Funktion-One, there’s a spiritual current that unites humanity—and good sound is the first way for us to explore our communal mind.

In this RA Exchange recorded live from AVA London, the founder of one of the best high-end speakers on the market reflects on his experience engaging in the broader, spiritual meaning of music and the universe and how his decision to start Funktion-One in 1992 sprung from a desire to help humans connect with each other. Far from being a technical deep dive into loudspeaker design and engineering, this conversation delves into his first forays into the world of sound as well as the broader implications of music and how it can incite a paradigm shift in how we experience the human experience and consciousness. 

Listen to the full, live talk and Q&A moderated by RA contributor Will Lynch.

EX.653 Tony Andrews on Sound and Spirituality

what is it about music that makes us feel nostalgic? the memories of a first listen perhaps, the surrounding environment being imprinted on our minds. or could it be the nth time a track is played from a period, and then left to the aether as a marker to our past. only to be revived sporadically like a warm shock to the system when played again. through these lenses we look and listen to our guest for today, as we’re so excited to have the wonderful dj, label owner and much more, pjenné grace the sundays series. her expertly crafted mix hits all the sweet, sweet trip hop spots and wraps around the listener like an auditory hug. perfect to fight off those lingering end of the weekend anxieties with a solid dose of music from the 90s and 00s.

Sundays are for... Pjenné

Magic moments in a packed and sweaty Muzieklokaal with dear friend @lunaludmila <3

My name is Al Blayney I am the founding member of Appian Sounds & Space Shepherd Vinyl labels. 
I have been listening and collecting music since the 90's and as a DJ I love to collect and play from across the spectrum of influences and to support all the small underground artists and labels who
need to be heard.

Phonons Podcast 103 Al Blayney

Kaleidoscopic psychedelia from one of Australia's finest.

While it might feel early to call bets on DJs of the decade, Kia Sydney, best known as Kia, is undoubtedly one of them. The Animalia founder began in Naarm's (Melbourne) underground scene in the mid-2010s, crediting a trip to the influential deep techno Japanese festival, Labyrinth, as the inspiration behind her sound.

Deep techno might not cut it as a descriptor for Sydney's sound, though. Hypnotic ribbons of steely techno mix with atmospherics and nimble grooves, drawing from IDM, dub and tech house, sharing as much with DJ Nobu and Donato Dozzy (try to find the track that overlaps with Dozzy's own RA Podcast) as well as modern practitioners like Priori and Beatrice M.

This distinctly Australian scuttling psychedelia has made Kia one of the most sought-after underground DJs globally. Her brainchild, Animalia, showcases a plurality of sounds and scenes, serving as living proof of the fruitful shift of the 2020s: less serious, perhaps, but with a sense of open-minded worldliness that offers a far more promising vision of what dance music can be and achieve.

Sydney's rare talent lies in forging connections, bringing people, sounds and ideas together with a distinct playfulness. Her RA Podcast showcases this alchemy in abundance, weaving classics like Monolake and Enya with peers such as OK EG, Cousin and Command D.

As she told us in her 2023 Breaking Through profile, "people tell me I have quite a distinctive sound but I can't tell so much because I hear so many different versions of it." RA.973 serves as confirmation that Kia's style is, to say the least, the mark of a generational talent.

At 3AM on January 1st, Dutch Producer, DJ and De Lichting co-founder @humanspacemachine took us on a trippy techno journey.

Human Space Machine Live @NYE 2025

In this special session, Shjva guided us through a delicate and introspective journey—softly spoken, yet deeply felt. Recorded live in the intimate setting of RESØR’s listening room, her set unfolds like a sonic diary of emotion and reflection.

Artist: @shjva
Recorded at: @resorelectronics listening room

BRAIN WAVES 004.2 Shjva

Immerse yourself in a stunning ambient journey recorded live at Above Below Festival 2024, where the Combee stage became a vessel for deep listening and sonic exploration.

Behind the sound is Moon Patrol, the collaborative project of @irina-kotik and @gilleswasserman. As co-founders of the Brooklyn-based platform @itsdelayed, the duo has cultivated a unique voice that weaves through warm electronica, cinematic ambient, and introspective techno. With releases on labels such as Oslated, On Board Music, SoHaSo, and Huinali, their work is defined by emotional resonance, subtle tension, and the art of restraint.

Moon Patrol moves through sound with sensitivity and intention—shaped by shifting moods, flowing frequencies, and the quiet connection between two artists in deep dialogue. Their set invites you into a space where time slows down and feeling takes the lead.

Let yourself be carried by the textures, the silences, and the subtle turns. This is a journey best experienced with open ears and an open mind. Settle in, and let the music take you where it will.
