Great intro track. Nice and gentle with it's cerebral snare-like riff.

Techno professional DVS1 drops his set from back in October 2021, where he helmed a stellar session in Room 1 for the 25 Years of Blueprint Records celebrations.

We needn’t say much more; this is a true masterclass in distinct, pin-point and punchy techno goodness from start to finish. 

More of the same soon: DVS1 reunites with RM1 next Friday night (21st July), joining Skee Mask B2B mad miran, Josey Rebelle B2B Tasha, Oblig, Bluetoof B2B TSVI and Effy.

Tickets for 21st July at fabric are on sale now via RA: https://ra.co/events/1719107

NYC Darlings #3 (Continuous Mix)

One of the enduring powerhouses of our era returns for RA.1000 with a riotous mix.

When Helena Hauff made her first RA Podcast appearance back in 2013, she was on the eve of releasing her debut production on Actress' Werkdiscs imprint. In the 12 years that have elapsed, she's become not just a household name within electronic music, but the kind of rare talent that lives in seclusion from industry tumultt.

(Hauff, enviously, has never even owned a smartphone.)

Her calling card continues to be her penchant for rough and ready EBM, electro and new wave. Her unique ability is creating a singular listening experience from disparate or out-of-favour tracks, with a raw immediacy that functions as a redress to over-choreographed modern DJing.

Her outsider approach is on show once again for RA.1000. Threaded together by strobe-lit DIY electronica, old-school acid house and corrosive machine funk that chews up the ear, the nearly two-hour set raises the bar once again.

In the sci-fi themed first half, Hauff drops two Cybotron tracks, nodding to Juan Atkins' blueprint for electro. You'll also hear "Riot" by Underground Resistance, the definitive mission statement for a world ablaze. This is musical anarchism, executed to the highest degree.

RA.1000 Helena Hauff

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 masterclass, recorded in 2012 at a superclub that no longer exists. (2012, incidentally, is farther away from 2025 than 2012 was from 2000, and 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 rare combinations playing start-to-finish. 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 a 385-minute marathon 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. 

If you've got time to spare, a fun side game is sussing out who plays what. Disco-dub covers 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 practically feels like an F1 car.

When we kicked off our RA.1000 campaign, we outlined a few full-send goals: tick off long-awaited dream guests, honour architects who shaped the world around us and deliver recordings you truly can't hear anywhere else.

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)

Losing Control Side A 1997

unreleased techno tape side, recorded in New Haven, CT in 1997

Tracklist is a foggy memory, which is kinda driving me crazy.  I really like to tracklist my tapes.  This one would take me like two hours digging through my discogs, lol. I also don't know why I didn't put this tape out - I got hit by an ugly perfectionism bug in 97.

I tagged what artists I can remember.  First two tracks are Marco Carola from the limited 1000 Records label, followed by something tucked between both Claude Young remixes of Beltram's Start It Up.  Si Begg is next. I can only guess from there, except that records from Sweden, and Surgeon are definitely involved.  Subsounds and Future Frontier, Adam Beyer and Thomas Krome.  The last two tracks are from the Future Frontier and Surgeon.

Lost Techno tape 1997

One of our favourite Farringdon sets of last year came from Deetron. The Music Man artist played for two hours set in Room One in September, taking the night’s peak hours in between Bwana and Dusky. He was set on showing his love for deep house that night, drawing beloved records from the past with some of today’s future classics. As we’re prepping to welcome the Swiss favourite back for Steve Bug’s <em>Paradise Sold</em> launch this Saturday, we’ve unlocked the full recording to share in anticipation. From fresh Special Request and Four Tet through to 90s-era Balance and Donna Summer, it’s a thrilling listen of an artist that sounds like he’s having as much fun as we were.

@ Disco Zwei - Mannheim 29.12.2019

mixtapes from the 90's, techno and a wee bit of house.  I've got them organized better if you go to my playlists.

I'd like to thank everyone who has listened to my sets from the bottom of my heart.  I have this channel solely to share the music I was and still am so passionate about with other likeminded people, and I sincerely hope that some of you have gotten some enjoyment from it.

I'd also like to thank profusely the DJs with whom I worked in the 90s, especially those together with whom I released some of these tapes, and especially the artists and producers who made this beautiful music.  I've tried to tracklist and credit them as much as possible.

Additionally, I'd like to thank Matthew from HD Mixtapes on Youtube for providing many of the digital rips on my page.  Check them out on Youtube, it's an amazing collection!  https://www.youtube.com/@HDMixtapesChannel

Much love!
