Midnight Fever EP is the latest offering from Berlin-based DJ and producer Marta, an exploration of 90s-inspired sounds that fuse the essence of progressive trance and techno with a contemporary edge. The tracks weave a tribal sense of wonder and exploration, taking listeners on an energetic ride that captures the euphoria of classic rave culture alongside recent production techniques.

The mastermind behind Basic Channel, Hard Wax and Rhythm & Sound doesn't do mixes. For RA.1000, he made an exception.

Trace Mark Ernestus's path, and you trace the evolution of electronic sound itself. The timeline of contemporary Berlin is unimaginable without him. At first, that meant Hard Wax, the crucial hub that shaped the early era of the city's techno revolution. Carl Craig once said it plainly: "Mark was ground zero."

From there, Ernestus never stopped. There's the birth of dub techno and the near-flawless catalogue that followed through Basic Channel and Rhythm & Sound. There's his immersion in Senegalese mbalax with Ndagga Rhythm Force. Lately, that means Open Ground the Wuppertal bunker that's letting people hear music as never before.

As part three of RA.1000, Ernestus has kindly supplied his first studio DJ mix. As you might expect, it's technically immaculate, but more than that, it feels like a substantial and generous conduit to one of the world's most vital genres.

Amapiano remains underexplored in music media. Publications like our own are still learning to keep pace with the South African sound's global pull, animating millions across the globe. 

You'll hear the range and richness of the genre across the near two-hour mix, from the gothic, percussive stomp of Caltetonic's "Bambela"  to the devotional glow of GemValleyMusiq's "Something Spiritual."

Through all of this, Ernestus has remained understated. He lets the music speak for him, with a quiet honesty that lies in decades of opening doors—creating the conditions for new sounds and scenes to flourish and carry the culture forward.

My musical journey began in a castle, somewhere between bohemian dreams and raw concrete.
As an unnamed duo of art students, we spent our nights in the adjoining 40-square-meter bunker from World War II - no mobile phones, no internet, just cold stone, tangled power cables, and torn-up grunge riffs.
After that band ended in 1995, a whole new world of electronic sounds opened up for me:
The DrumTraks by Sequential Circuits was my gateway; soon came a DX-7, an Atari ST, and endless loops spun through sleepless nights.

I was completely cut off from the outside world of the pre-internet era - lost in my own cosmos. 
Then came Berlin, and with it, new possibilities.
There’s this saying: "If you remember the ’90s, you weren’t really there."

At some point, I drifted into other things and put music aside for a while.
Until that memorable week in the park, just before COVID: I met a philosophy professor from New York, touring Europe, who tried to numb his post-op pain with red wine and oxycodone. He kept talking about his dream of recording a song. So I took him in, got some microphones and an interface, and after a week, we had produced his love song—radio-ready and brimming with magic.

That spark led me back to my own path: In search of new and inspiring sounds, I discovered the Elements by Mutable Instruments and dove headfirst into the world of modular synthesis. Ever since, I’ve been stuck deep in the rabbit hole - when it comes to choosing between new shoes and a new VCA, music usually wins.

Then, in 2022: a roadside, a spontaneous party, everything I owned that could run on 9 volts in my bag. 
My first live performance - improvised, raw, honest.
What’s grown and evolved from there, I call:

"Weird tones on the way to their mission."
