Louie Vega shouldn't need an introduction, but we'll do it anyways. The Bronx-born Puerto Rican artist embodies the soulful sound of New York house music, and he's been doing it since the '80s. His history features a litany of legendary names and clubs, from the Devil's Nest to his much-vaunted residency at The Sound Factory in Manhattan, and he's made music with the likes of Todd Terry, Mood II Swing and Barbara Tucker. But it's with Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez that Vega made his most cherished and influential work as the duo Masters Of Work, putting out huge singles and making house remixes for some of the most iconic names in '90s pop music.

To listen Vega's discography, especially as part of Masters At Work, is to hear the evolution of house music and garage (yes, both US and UK). It's difficult to overstate the impact those '90s records had on New York and beyond, and they're still some of the most swinging, undeniable house records ever made. Just try playing a MAW Dub for a newbie and see their reaction. 

House music has been Vega's lifelong mission, and almost four decades in, he's still refining his craft, moving towards ever-jazzier, ever more soulful sounds. His RA Podcast shows off some of his favorite tracks from contemporaries like Mood II Swing, as well as his band Elements Of Life and a handful of new tracks from his forthcoming album, Expansions In The NYC, which aims to capture the sound of his club night of the same name. You'll hear lush live instrumentation, powerful vocals and, of course, those addictive, sometimes skippy house beats—the sound of a master at work.

Detroit might be synonymous with techno, but it also has a rich house tradition. And Rick Wade—FKA Big Daddy Rick—is one of Detroit house's key players. Along with the likes of Keith Worthy, Theo Parrish and the late Mike Huckaby (who Wade had a lifelong friendship and friendly rivalry with), he created a hybrid sound that is both techno and house, effortlessly soulful, sculpted and glowing—and Midwest to the core. As Tajh Morris said in a retrospective review of one of his classic records, "growing up in Buchanan, Michigan, meant that Wade was much closer to Chicago than he was to Detroit."

Many of Wade's best records were released on Harmonie Park, his era-defining label that also featured plenty of work from Huckaby. Those EPs still sound fresh and timeless today, qualities that extend to Wade's RA Podcast, which features 90 minutes of smooth-as-butter house old and new. Over the years he's kept the flame burning for the smouldering sounds of Detroit house, working in sounds from younger producers like Folamour along the way. Enjoy listening to a master at work.

If Collective Memory could be embodied in a single soul, it would be Joe Claussell. For countless years now, he has traced the veins of our ancestral presence, from the depths of African soil to the expanse of Caribbean seas, elevating the craft in a way that resurrects the true essence of music and its sacred Umeaning. Through House, Jazz,
World Music, and African rhythms, Claussell channels the raw, untamed spirit of music, stripping away the superficial to reveal its primal pulse. His work is a journey into the heart of sound and towards the truth, where rhythm becomes ritual, and every beat uncovers a deeper connection to our shared humanity

Jeff Mills live @ Cocoon Club

https://soundcloud.com/rene-beer (born April 22, 1976) is an electronic musician, producer, remixer from Zagreb, Croatia. His first introduction to music was the piano which he started to play at 10. His father was a radio DJ in the late 80's, and introduced him to the world of funk, hip-hop and house music. In the early 90's he purchased his first equipment and began producing his first compositions. His 1991-1996 releases appear under the names "Future 01" , "Plastic Phase" and included projects based on hardcore techno, house, trance and break beat. During this time he was also working on many remixes and performed at local clubs in Zagreb and on TV stations. In late 90' he found his inspiration in a hybrid of styles from underground jazz to funky house and Detroit techno. In 1998 founded the 'Renesansa' home studio and with his friends began to experiment with sound and produced music for many alternative artists. In 2000 he brought together a group of creative people and formed a radio show, 'Uplifting Intelligence', on 'Radio Samobor', which hosted many DJ's in live performances. In 2001 due to the cultural and economic situation in the country he withdrew from the scene and worked on other projects. In 2011, after a ten-year absence from the scene he once again decided to go with the music production. During the year 2011-2012 he produced about 40 new tracks and remixes signed by the dozen of digital record labels around the world, gaining support of some highly respected DJs and producers of underground electronic music. In the end of 2012 he received an invitation from the famous ballet choreographer Ronald Savkovic, to participate with his music in dance show "Shut Up and Dance", which appears for the first time on the Croatian cultural scene, based on the model of Berlin's Berghain / Panorama Bar. In late 2013' he rebuild his home studio and continues to work on the new material…Keep a look out for his continuous onslaught of releases and remixes.
