JUAN MACLEAN @ The Lot Radio 09-11-2023

This is from feb 2013.  

I likely spent a lot of time creating it (pre-parenthood), and I think its stood the test of time.   Some great house and nu disco tunes that I'd forgotten; synthy, groovy and proggy as you'd expect. My mixing has improved but my musical taste hasn't really changed!  

Take a step back in time with me....

ALL NIGHT LONG @ GALLERY1986, 2025

You're on your way to the 'main tent' and you walk past that smaller tent that always seems to have a crowd in it. You poke your head in to check out what the fuss is about. You like what you see.  A thumping soundsystem, a light, a packed dance floor. You stay. You miss the main event. You dont care. 

DANCING IN TENTS

Monie Love - Grandpa's Party (Mr Wilkinson Wonky Hoover mix)

🛒 https://wearetalkingmachine.bandcamp.com/album/fractal-vision-ep-2

Kenya presents her new debut EP for Talking Machine after joining the label crew in 2024, titled Fractal Vision. The EP consists of 3 tracks, accompanied by 2 remixes by Anatolian Weapons and Arvin Fajar. The EP itself narrates about a journey through emotion and experience, capturing the essence of growth, introspection, and transformation, one that creates a dynamic landscape. From every track, it is something that developed naturally through the textures and layers of the sound it self, create something that feels like telling a story through sound.

The EP starts off with Transfer Your Energy with steady bassline that knocks the track gently, keeping the listener on the ground. The dreamy bells that surrounds the track make an important role to the mood, chased by distort sound and noise with on the bridge, an intense acidic layers and synths with high hat that gives house feels to build up the energy itself, caving your ears until it stops.

For the second track is Turbulence, a mid tempo track that gives a sense of hypnotizing along the track, with modulated bassline, atmospheric pads with long decay and subtle granular processing, sporadic high-resonance synth fills for dynamic contrast, and dissonant high-register minor stabs for tonal tension, complemented by organic flow, and stabilized by a classic kick drum for foundational weight.

For the ending, Fractal Vision, an uptempo journey driven by a groovy bassline and some bittersweet background synths to give the sense from the EP itself, layered with snare fills that clash playfully against a trashy front snare, while dual harmony synths intertwine to trigger the emotion, all subtly underscored by a spoken words that deliver thematic messaging without disrupting the momentum.

A transforming beast of a track, it mutates into an intense, acidic bassline-driven force, layered with glitchy electronic synths that guide the listener through a turn-around journey—an invitation to both dance and pause. Smart sequencing sustains tension, building an immersive bridge for a heavy-hitting drop. A short-decay, raw yet polished snare knocks from the back, with mid-tone percussive textures subtly shaping the groove. Perfectly placed hats charge the atmosphere unconsciously—injecting housey. Near the close, a spoken message adds deeper meaning—a final treat before the sound disappears into the ether.

A trance-style synth melody gradually builds up with an opening filter, increasing energy and creating a festive, euphoric vibe—like an outdoor rave. A steady rhythm and acid-style effects swirl in the background, adding depth. As the track progresses, a layered melody slowly emerges, staying strong and steady. A deep bassline quietly supports everything, giving the track a solid foundation. Crisp hi-hats shape the rhythm, making room for key vocal moments that draw the listener in. All the sounds come and go smoothly, keeping the flow tight and intentional.

DJ Ethanol makes his debut on QRUK with Test Press EP, a heavyweight, release that fuses elements of UKG, Breaks and Electro through a transatlantic lens. Originally from the underground scenes of North Carolina, and now based in Edinburgh, DJ Ethanol brings a rugged, textural sound shaped by free parties. The title track is a driving cut that layers industrial percussion, acid stabs and fractured vocal chops into something raw and unpredictable.

On remix duties is UK veteran UMT, whose decades-deep history in Garage and Breakbeat culture informs a stripped-back, sub-loaded take on the original. With recent support from the likes of DJ EZ, Quest and J:Kenzo, his remix lands somewhere between 2-step swing and minimal pressure, tailored for low-ceiling D-floors.

PREMIERE : DJ Ethanol - Test Press (UMT's Darbuka Leng Man’s Skank Mix)

Andrew Weatherall's first official posthumous mix. The only b2b DJ Harvey ever agreed to. Six hours at Trouw. Full send — this one's special.

Gabriel Szatan, Editor (RA): 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 marathon set recorded in 2012 at a superclub that no longer exists. 2012, incidentally, is farther away from 2025 than 2012 was from 2000... 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 start-to-close combinations. 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 385 minutes of arpeggiated chug and slow-cresting climaxes, chronicling a moment when the resting heart rate of dance floors plunged lower than potentially any comparable point in the 21st century.

If you've got time to spare, a fun side game is sussing out who plays what. A disco-dub cover 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 feels practically like a racecar.

When we kicked off our RA.1000 campaign, we outlined a few goals: tick off a handful of long-awaited dream guests, honour architects who shaped the world around us and deliver recordings you truly can't hear anywhere else. We sought to render an accurate picture of DJ culture in 2025 for the longhaul.

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.⁠

RA.1000 DJ Harvey & Andrew Weatherall

I made this mix right after Navid passed last year.  It helped me get through the initial shock and pain to listen to all his music and be reminded that he was so talented and his music so unique and diverse. It was amazing to go back though it all and think about the memories of hearing it for the first time and sharing it with him. But then it got really hard to hear his voice, it just hurt too much...

The last few months I've come back to playing his music in my sets and feeling positive that he will live on forever through his music. A year on from his passing I feel like it's time to share this mix with the world. I hope it helps all of us remember Navid and celebrate his life...
