The first half of RA.996 is Ron Trent's take on luxurious house.

As part of our countdown to RA.1000, a milestone in the 24-year history of RA's weekly mix series, we're switching up the usual format. The next few editions will pair two acts who complement each other's strengths, offering a fresh take on a particular community, scene or style. 

This week, we're zeroing in on Ron Trent and Ash Lauryn, two names who fly the flag high for old-school US house—a foundational pillar of the electronic underground. 

Trent takes the A-side. Hailing from Chicago, the birthplace of house, the pioneer is a master of finding the sweet spot where machine music meets organic instrumentation.  Listen to any DJ set or record in his extensive back catalogue and you'll find a wealth of exquisitely expressive melodies and deep, spiritual frequencies, making him the ideal narrator for any survey on house. (If you've only got a moment, sink into "Morning Factory," nine minutes of perfection.) 

Trent's return to the RA Podcast, 19 years after his debut in 2006, represents his many decades of expertise in fusing funk with gorgeous musicianship under the umbrella of heart-stirring house. Some may call it a masterclass but to us, it's just Trent doing what he does best.

Listened to as a whole, RA.996 is a powerful snapshot of house's elegance, class and most importantly, understated yet innately euphoric joy.

ABOUT ME
I am a Dutch illustrator and animator. I always strive for a simple image, with a clear message, without noise. I'm also an avid field recordist.

ABOUT THIS PAGE
This SoundCloud page contains my field recordings. An old hobby that grew big over the last years and gives me great pleasure. A lot of these recordings end up being used in my music and live performances one way or another. Follow the Einzelganger-link below to go to my musical project.

BINAURAL
Some of the recordings are 'binaural', meaning that the method of capture recreates an accurate stereo image of the environment when listened to using headphones. To enjoy this effect, listen to those marked 'Binaural fieldrecording' using headphones!

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_recording">Here's more on binaural recording</a>.

<b>GEAR</b>
I use a Zoom H2, Zoom H2n and Zoom 4Hn recorder. Sometimes with additional Sound Professionals SP-TFB-2 binaural microphones.

<b>MUSIC</b>
Some recordings end up being used in my music. You can hear examples of that on the pages of http://soundcloud.com/einzelganger and http://soundcloud.com/mouchesvolantes
