YI : Vinylive ( Sanbu / KR )

Recorded live at 宀 Club in Hong Kong on February 8th 2025

Kugel is a transformative force in Seoul's electronic music landscape. Her sonic journey weaves through a rich tapestry of genres, with a particular affinity for psychedelic and cosmic electronic elements. Each set is an improvised narrative, where she masterfully balances deep, dark textures with playful, eccentric selections, creating an immersive experience that resonates uniquely with each audience.

Her musical metamorphosis began during her studies in Germany, where an encounter with the underground scene sparked a profound artistic awakening. What started as a self-described monochromatic existence transformed into a vibrant pursuit of musical storytelling. This pivotal experience revealed music's universal language and its power to forge instant, meaningful connections.

Since her 2018 debut, Kugel has established herself as a cornerstone of Seoul's electronic music community. Her three-year residency (2021-2024) at Tunnel in Itaewon became a laboratory for developing her distinctive dialogue with dancers. As the curator of 'Weird Circle', a bi-monthly event series at Club Nyapi, she has created a platform for introducing avant-garde sounds to Seoul's discerning audiences.

Her artistic reach extends well beyond Korea's borders, with performances at prestigious international events including The Air House Festival (Korea), The Phu Quoc Odyssey NYE Festival by Studio Adventure Collective (Vietnam), and the renowned Rainbow Disco Club (Japan). These appearances showcase her evolution from local talent to regional tastemaker, each set further cementing her reputation for crafting hypnotic, genre-defying musical journeys.

Through her masterful selection and intuitive understanding of dancefloor dynamics, Kugel continues to push boundaries and challenge expectations, establishing herself as a vital voice in Asia's electronic music landscape.

GABA - Forest / Dark Progressive

We continue our love affair with Asia with another South Korean artist stepping up, and this time we present the talents of Young Sun. Not just being your average selector, Young is resident DJ at Seoul’s Teller nightclub, and he regularly welcomes top-flight artists to spin with him, and these have included Raphael Carrau, Ika and Usherenko, Dojo Zone, LVCA, Penelope, Poggio, Lamalice, Alex Dima, Alexia Glensy, the list goes on and on. The Anecdote collective founder has also been making his way across Europe during the Spring / Summer months with dates at Outcast Torino, Dias De Campo, Spook Club in Valencia, and quite a few more.

This bright selector and in-demand artist does not disappoint with his mix of our InSession series as he winds his way through a finely told sonic story. Being able to tell a tale inside just under 70 minutes is a skill in itself, but when its done in the way that Young Sun has it is clear why the Teller resident is so highly prized. Maintaining a deep emotion while building up through deep, hazy house, West Coast tech-house, and tripped-out moments is yet another skill in Young’s locker. One for those long, hot summer nights.

2009년 디제이를 시작한 그는 자신만의 독자적인 노선을 개척하며 한국 전자음악 씬의 발전을 위해 꾸준히 헌신해 왔다. 그는 단순히 음악을 플레이 하는 것을 넘어, 다양한 활동을 통해 씬과의 유기적인 관계를 형성하고 있다. 대표적으로 전자음악 페스티벌 ‘PROMPT’ 의 기획자로서 새로운 시청각적 경험을 선사하고 있으며, 언더그라운드 음악 커뮤니티 ‘tread’ 의 공동 설립자로서 자유로운 음악 생태계 조성에 기여하고 있다. 또한, 유수의 전자음악 레이블 ‘Oslated’의 멤버로서 활발한 활동을 이어가고 있다. 현재는 서울의 디제이 바 ‘atdge’ 를 직접 운영하며, 현장에서 리스너들과 직접적으로 더욱 가까이에서 소통하고 있다.

Oslated Special Mix 077 - Hogun

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)
