Deep Down Inside.....where I reside. Where we collide. No divide. Moving as one. Having fun. Spinning around the sun.

Deep Down Inside - Andrew Allsgood

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 masterclass, recorded in 2012 at a superclub that no longer exists. (2012, incidentally, is farther away from 2025 than 2012 was from 2000, and 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 rare combinations playing start-to-finish. 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 a 385-minute marathon 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. 

If you've got time to spare, a fun side game is sussing out who plays what. Disco-dub covers 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 practically feels like an F1 car.

When we kicked off our RA.1000 campaign, we outlined a few full-send goals: tick off long-awaited dream guests, honour architects who shaped the world around us and deliver recordings you truly can't hear anywhere else.

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)

Impromptu small burbsy gathering.... winding us down with some trippy weird house to breaks.

LTJ Bukem & Ruthless MC at The Nest - Dekmantel Festival 2025

This all vinyl mix is the full recording from Corrigan and Nico Tobón’s back to back set from our Hand Selected party on 09/26/25. 

Not many DJs these days have the patience, restraint, or even track selection to properly open a room.  However, Corrigan and Nico Tobón aren't your average DJ.  Both are local heroes known for throwing underground parties around Denver, with Nico Tobón’s party series “Con Amor” and Corrigan’s party series  “Breakeven Productions.”  Not to mention, the unbelievable sound system used on this evening was hand crafted / DIY by Corrigan and rivals the best sound systems in the city.

Corrigan and Nico were in fine form, sounding like a single entity, layering moods and vibes as thick as the fog.  We are happy to share their set and hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Root Reflections

Trevor Jackson focuses on one of the most iconic and successful producers/remixers of the 80’s, NYC legend Arthur Baker. 
Covering seminal Electro, Rap, Disco, Funk, House, Rock, Pop  & New Wave, Arthur's music played an instrumental role in shaping the sonic landscape of the period & still sounds equally as powerful today.

ARTHUR BAKER - PERFECT BEATS - NTS RADIO - 09/06/20

Sometimes you just have to take what is yours and run with it.

As I get older, I get slower. Chicago roots and a long, strange trip to get here.

And yes, it's vinyl.  #nosyncbutton
