The Lounge Session (Nu-Slo-Mo-Disco)

Mr Joseph - Untouchable Funk

"Such a great moment playing DISTRIKT for the first time and on top doing it b2b with my dear friend Patrice for a long afternoon/night experience -  Hope you all enjoy our set and imagine the vibes” 
~Hernán Cattáneo

"This session felt super natural from start to finish. The musical connection with my b2b partner Hernan was almost telepathic and DISTRIKT provided the perfect arena to create magic on the playa. The most important ingredient were the people on the dancefloor. What a ride!"

Beliefs (Sly Logic Rework) - Nu:Tone

Prod.  by Sly Logic 

Busy roads r a bitch.

Busy Old Road

One of my favourite tunes of all time by one of the greatest and most under-rated artists; Pharoahe Monch. 

My band got in a bit of trouble with some anarchist feminists when we played this live (true story) so here's a disclaimer: "You are by no means under any obligation to 'rub on your titties' when directed by the performer. Any potential offence can be avoided by just not listening to it."

This was made almost entirely using a sample pack from https://soundcloud.com/lynxdnb purchased at loopmasters. I don't normally use sample packs this heavily so he deserves a lot of the credit. 

Key: 5A/Cm
BPM : 175

Free download as always

Simon Says (Sly Logic Big Booty Bootleg) - Pharoahe Monch [FREE D\L]

Altruism (Original Mix)

B2N Radio - Dean Watt // 20.02.25

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 scintillating 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. A masterclass, and entirely self-contained in audio form.

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.⁠
