I've been playing at Love International for ten years now (11 if you consider the year we started) and I've found records that are absolute favourites that for me suit the setting perfectly and they get an airing every year. For example Lark's 'Tedra'. A record that sounds perfect in that setting by the sea... Anyway, here's me from 6am

One of the most requested files from the Figaro vault is being declassified. Prins’ set at Echo Beach this year sure was a doozy, it had the paddock bopping as day turned into night ~ undeniably fun, undeniably classy. Get your laughing gear around Prins Thomas’ Echo recording.

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

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: a moment when the resting heart rate of dance floors plunged lower than any comparable point in the 21st century. A masterclass, 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 an F1 car.

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. Full send.

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.⁠ – Gabriel Szatan (Editor, RA)

Lyrics :

SoulWoman 

[Verse]
She's got fire in her step lightning in her stare
Her laugh shakes the room like a storm in the air
Every word she says cuts through like a blade

[Prechorus]
She's the sun on a winter day
The rhythm in the chaos sway

[Chorus]
SoulWoman SoulWoman
She’s the answer to the night
SoulWoman SoulWoman
Burning stars with her light

[Verse 2]
She walks like the wind whispers secrets untold
Her smile’s a treasure chest more precious than gold
She’s the dance in the rain the calm in the storm

[Prechorus]
She’s the moon when the sun has fled
A melody stuck inside your head

[Chorus]
SoulWoman SoulWoman
She’s the spark in the fight
SoulWoman SoulWoman
Painting shadows with her light

SoulWoman

COCKTAIL D'AMORE GARDEN Sound Metaphors DJs (Nemo&Castro) - October 6th 2019

Following up on their playlist endeavour, here's Norm and Sean's interpretation of a balearic chill in. Or dance in. While doing the dishes. Or sipping prosecco alone. Or with your lover. Anyway, this is Balearic Confinement with Norm and Sean, our associates and strong men of the French Riviera. Stay in, tune in. Stay safe.
