Kampire's half of a double-sided mix by two Nyege Nyege all-stars.
Share
Nyege Nyege is synonymous with radical sonic innovation. Since 2015, the boundary-pushing Ugandan festival and its associated label have become a vital hub for adventurous, experimental sounds emerging from East Africa and beyond. Its alumni roster includes some of the past decade's most thrilling and forward-thinking artists—DJ Travella, Nihiloxica, Juliana Huxtable, MC Yallah, and even New York's mayoral frontrunner, Zohran Mamdani. In the process, the collective has reimagined what club music can be.

On the B side mix is Kampire. The Kampala-based DJ has been a core member of the collective since the label's inception. Her mixes often feel like a lesson in musicology, weaving together narratives, tempos and genres while losing nothing in dance floor vitality. These talents are reflected in her contribution to RA.995. A typically kaleidoscopic blend of tough percussive workouts, infectious edits and raw, unreleased gems, the hour-long mix spans batida, singeli, bruxaria and countless more urgent sounds from the global underground.

The other half of this special release comes from the enigmatic DJ TOBZY, which you can find on the A-side. 

Presented together, as the first edition of a new format marking the countdown to RA.1000, this two-sided mix offers a bracing snapshot of a label that has redefined electronic music over the last decade.

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.

This month on The Lot Radio we welcome longtime friend Sheepshead for a deep dive into heavy low-end and sharp percussion. As the curator of Newtype Rhythms on Inverted Audio, his sets trace the edges of bass music—dark, detailed, and always in motion :)

Second hour’s a Kindergarten link-up: Despina and Martini go B2B for an excursion through glitchy percussive slammers and fast-lane breakdowns.

Club Chow (he/they)

Club Chow is a Taiwanese-American DJ based in Chicago. An omnivorous selector, he blends music across genres and eras with a common euphoric undercurrent. Club Chow's taste and energetic mixing have made him a resident of Steamworks bathhouse, a staple at SmartBar and Podlasie Club, and a sought-after guest DJ at queer underground parties around the US.

Notes on the Mix ///

"This mix consists of mostly older house records that I've recently purchased long blended with some interstitial bandcamp finds as well. I had the goal of trying to tell a coherent story while editing down to stick to a more concise (1-hourish) length of time. I ended up with an assemblage of house tracks that share a 'classic' sounding palette and have some pump, jittery highs, evocative vocals, or some other deep quality that caught my ear - hopefully they resonate with you as well!!"

The Pacopla EP delivers two powerful productions full of groove, energy, and character, crafted to ignite both intimate club settings and large dance floors alike.
