We first met Tia Cousins in 2019 when she came to volunteer. She sent us a few mixes and naturally we booked her for the very next FM. We love Tia's disregard of genre and pure love for anything with the right je ne sais quoi.

This was the first time she played Sputnik and she nailed the brief. Warming up for Optimo and their Watching Trees takeover, it's the perfect mix weird, euphoric and a bit emotional - you'll know the bit we're talking about when you hear it. Not a dry eye in the house. 

This is what Tia had to say about the mix: "Hazy memories from this one but I know it was a fkin hoot! Lots of wiggy bits, booty shakers and even a tear jerker in here live from the real life pleasure dome."

Ciel: Jump Recordings Special - 29 July 2024

A glorious ode to sound system culture. For her RA Podcast, Brooklyn-based DJ Ayanna Heaven celebrates vibrations echoing down the ages, connecting seven decades of trailblazers and trendsetters. It's a soundtrack we've timed with an eye to that golden late summer run of Notting Hill Carnival, Brooklyn's West Indian Day Parade and several crucial dates in the Jamaican calendar. 

Since 2020, the Brooklyn-based DJ, ethnomusicologist, dancehall advocate and promoter has held down two shows on the city's most popular stations: the monthly "Sounds of Heaven" on The Lot and biweekly "Across 110th Street" on WKCR. That's roughly 72 hours of radio every year. Light work for Heaven, though, whose sound traverses the limitlessly fertile ground of reggae, dancehall, funk, soul and beyond.

From Sly & Robbie, Aswad and Vybz Kartel through contemporary heaters and reskins of platinum-plated standards like "No Games" and "Sun Is Shining," RA.950 is a story of a thriving culture, grounded in the past yet with intentions set firmly on the future.

Rooted in the vibrant sounds of West Africa, o.rayan's musical journey began in the Ivory Coast where he was born and raised. His eclectic taste, shaped by 90's house, dub, disco, r&b, and hip hop, infuses his selections with a unique perspective, pushing him to seek records unbound by genre or era. As a dedicated vinyl enthusiast, o.rayan has cultivated a global network of record-pooling communities, unearthing and digitizing rare gems that rarely surface elsewhere.

In this Truancy Sessions mix, o.rayan captivates with a kaleidoscope of intoxicating sonic rarities, offering a glimpse into his world of carefully curated, heartfelt sounds. Journeying through hidden corners of electronic music, the mix spotlights a series of bright and evocative selections from some of house music's unsung visionaries. Beginning with a nod to his Lebanese heritage, the mix flows ever-deeper into enveloping tracks marked by punching drums, lush pads, and drifting melodies, while the diversity of o.rayan's musical exploration shines through in multilingual vocals that bridge cultures through rhythm. His passion for vinyl is evident in the mix's impeccable quality and singular curation, each track revealing his exquisite taste for surreal, body-moving rhythms. Shaped by transformative experiences and fueled by his belief that “music and love are my fuel,” o.rayan's mix stands as a testament to music's enduring power to heal and inspire.
