Looking forward to see you again in Closer, Craig

And rain it did. It's confirmed that Craig can influence the weather.

as a first timer in houghton in 2024, hearing about these traumas lets me very inspired to see how well built this is done :)

Great discussion and glad to have been part of the Houghton line ups for some years now.

completely agree with how you have portrayed Houghton, the theme throughout is so consistent. Even down to having painted fences all the same. It really makes a difference. Such a beautiful place and great to see it evolve from what Glade did with the space

@luckison boss bratan @mayellmusic - a true brother like no other. He's family and I'm so happy and glad we have this mix for you guys on christmas! 

Happy holidays, much food and love and unity <3

Going to London

"Devotion is the main aim—to try to encourage commitment in people." The fabric resident and Houghton festival founder discusses his love of the crowd, DJing and more.

Craig Richards, arguably one of UK dance music's most respected DJs, is normally averse to the spotlight. But the multi-hyphenate artist and fabric resident has played the London institution every Saturday for nearly two decades, DJing alongside fellow household names like Ricardo Villalobos and Nicolas Lutz. Over the years, Richards has profoundly shaped the canon that's defined the space and its programming week in and week out.

He’s keenly attuned to other DJs and the flow of a night, and he's not indebted to one particular style or genre. In a Resident Advisor feature from 2019, Ray Philp described his sound as "intergalactic space metal" that goes far beyond techno, house or electro, instead interplaying classics with deep, headsy tunes that he tirelessly seeks out every week.

In this interview with RA's European deputy editor Carlos Hawthorn, Richards talks about what makes a good record, and the DJ's role as a bridge between the past and present. He also discusses his endeavours beyond the booth—most notably the idyllic festival he started in 2017, Houghton, which is set in the English countryside—and his passion for painting and cross-disciplinary creativity. Listen to the episode in full.

Of all the Berlin DJs who make a living spinning strange, I'm-not-sharing-the-tracklist kind of records, Sugar Free, originally hailing from Madrid, might be the most fun. She plays bold, colourful tracks with an air of sci-fi and sleaze, somewhere between Italo, hi-NRG, electro and house. (Her Dimensions Mix last year was one of our favourites of 2023.) She's the kind of DJ who messes with your perception of genres and tempos by how she blends tracks together, and also a DJ with a rare grasp of mixing melodies and moods—just check out the first transition of this RA Podcast for a spine-tingling example.

Sugar Free doesn't speak much publicly, and you won't find a lot about her on the internet. She prefers to let her DJing speak for itself. And her RA Podcast says a lot: proggy basslines, heart-in-mouth descents into reverb-heavy breakdowns, eerie vocals and a general feel of psychedelia and '80s decadence. It's difficult to tell what era these records are from, which is part of the charm. For a bonus point, try and pick out two just-completed Sugar Free originals, some of her first productions ever after her debut track came out on Limousine Dream in 2022.

Velasco - Live From Dimensions 24'

Spring has sprung, and after a small three-year hiatus, it’s the perfect moment for another Marginal Mix. 

We first met Jack D years ago in Birmingham, where his affable hosting was the highlight of a less than successful party. Since pitched up in Berlin, Jack is a familiar face on dance floors across the city, and increasingly behind the decks cross continents. He’s gifted us his first ‘house’ mix in half a decade - as ever, good things come to those who wait.
