Transmigration Mixtape 01: Black Merlin

HOW TO FIND INNER PEACE IN A CHAOTIC WORLD

This podcast is composed of edits, remixes, and unreleased productions crafted by the Parisian duo Abajour over the course of this year. Designed for the club, these productions bring together diverse influences, oscillating between house, dub, breakbeat, and trance, as well as sounds not originally intended for the dancefloor, drawn from jazz pieces or synth-driven bands from the '80s.

Sound Metaphors Mix Series 34 : Abajour

Aasana, the sound of rupture and an escape into carefully crafted electronic chaos. At Macadam, she brings her intersectional vision to a rich and thoughtful programming, while actively supporting the growth of the local scene. Through her collective Zone Rouge, she highlights women and gender minority artists and professionals in electronic music through meaningful and engaged events.

« I created L’Oiseau Mazouté, 3 years ago. It’s a personal and exploratory project that emerged from a desire to step away from the club environment and dive into a more introspective, atmospheric side of my musical universe. As a podcast, it offers a space where I can share sounds, moods, and narratives that don't typically find their place in my club sets — a freer format that allows for slower tempos, textured layers, and emotional depth.

Through this project, I navigate sonic landscapes that are organic, haunting, and often cinematic — a place where storytelling takes precedence over rhythm, and where music becomes a form of quiet resistance or reflection. It’s an intimate outlet for sounds that might otherwise remain in the shadows. »

An Ode to Dreamers // 01.08.25

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)

Optimo - House Party! (3/4/20)

In a world that seems to want to go faster and faster and faster towards absolute fucking nonsense, Freddo invites you to slow the pace, make a detour, take a wrong path. Rooted in the leftfield corners of electronical music his sound is a kind of industrial psychedelia crafted from wrong speed Goa, slowed down post punk and the weirder sides of house music.
