RA.1000 launches with Theo Parrish, live at fabric: a vanishingly rare club mix from the king of deep crates and impossible transitions.

There are DJ sets and then there are Theo sets. No matter how many times you've caught him in action, every time still feels like the first. Running hot, levels smoking, isolator working over time. You think you know dance music? Think again.

Parrish's long-awaited debut on the RA Podcast is a milestone for the series, one we've sought for over 15 years. So it was only right that Theo led off our 1000th celebrations, the first of ten mixes this week. Recorded live at fabric last December as part of RA's collaborative party with the London club for their 25th anniversary, this three-hour segment documents the crescendo of his eight-hour marathon. 

The Detroit legend doesn't release mixes often, and when he does, they're usually studio recordings: think NTS shows, his 100% Detroit edition of DJ-Kicks or classic tapes Body (1997) and Methods of Movement (2020). A capture of the Sound Signature boss on the dancefloor is hard to come back. On RA.1000, you'll hear Theo in his element.

Sure, there's galvanising build-ups and crowd-pleasers, but laced throughout a Parrish beatdown are rarities designed to shock the system. In a business dominated by image-driven marketing, the vinyl master towers above thanks to a relentless hunger for lustrous melodies, moods and textures of all stripes, which he and he alone can fold into an inspiring and exhilarating joyride.

On RA.1000, blissful reggae precedes new wave disco; '80s R&B morphs into synthy techno; bleepy Chicago jack makes way for a poignant vocal ballad. Theo, once again, proves that anything and everything is possible with the right records.

The purpose of this track is to try out Cirklon's extensive pattern randomization features. Many hardware sequencers let you play patterns in random order, but Cirklon goes way beyond that. 

There are two kinds of random melodies here. In the first kind, each step of the pattern includes upper and lower boundaries for note randomization as well as probability factors for gate, tie and velocity. The pad pattern plays an additional note that's relatively transposed a 5th up. All notes are forced to the dorian scale. 

The second kind is more pseudo-random, with some notes preferred over others. For the bass, I am running a selection of playable notes in random order on a silent helper track. The main 8-note pattern begins and ends with upper or lower root note (randomly picked). The six middle notes are grabbed from the helper track. Think of it as a biased sample&hold mechanism.

The drums have two options masked to Cirklon's control knobs, for live punch-in effects. The first knob controls the intensity, that is, the probability of playing all the pattern's ghost notes that are normally silent. The second knob controls the probability of randomizing any playing notes. When turned halfway, there's a 50% chance that the next note is picked randomly. Occasionally I'm turning a third knob that sets the repetition times for each note, resulting in a flam effect.

I'll never get tired of the dorian scale. (To try it out, use D as the root note and play only on white keys.) Any note you play fits together with everything. In fact, I'm suspecting that many IDM producers are using their own random note generators!
