attitude check: 

this is a recording of my 4am-7am closing set from the first night of Paturia festival this past August, a fest put together with immense love and care by Soleil Rouge Collective in the French countryside about an hour and a half from St. Etienne.

I was blessed to spend a week with this crew out at the farm house, watching them build and create a wicked forest paradise, all while preparing to perform. Being taken care of by a crew of volunteers, down to a crew of moms cooking us every single meal.

3 hours of pure love and joy — from nostalgia-core, deep subs, cunty rave, ignorant wubs, deep-hip unlocking, tender bliss, and morning sunshine in the woods. Couple technical difficulties, (toward the end one of the organizers got shocked by a wet outlet), filled with crowd recordings of pure love, and memories of the booth filling up with vibers throwing ass and head banging to Maara and Linkin Park.

this set feels like an actualization of my philosophy as a dj. every sound is a tool, every mood can be amplified, pushed, and played with. there is no narrative, there is no 

music connects the dots between emotions, movements, and attitudes: what’s urs?

A clinic in minimal from the elusive Acting Press boss. 

Why do certain sounds cultivate a cult following? Simply put, it's often because they resist easy consumption. PLO Man and his imprint Acting Press lean into this. 

Searching for the Berlin-based DJ and producer, you won’t find much online presence, interviews or conventional PR. What you will find, if you look hard enough, is a catalogue of records and mixes with a kind of tape hiss charm (a spiritual successor to Basic Channel and Chain Reaction, but scuzzier and lighter on its feet).

Founded in 2015, Acting Press once seemed to belong to the short-lived "outsider house" trend, but is now synonymous with a certain strain of modern minimal, one that is analogue, spacious and pointedly opaque. PLO Man's output is equally sparse by design: this week, he joins the RA Podcast with a characteristically elusive style, accompanying the near two-hour mix is a one-answer Q&A that gives almost nothing away.

Stripped-back, ever-so-slightly sleazy and coated in dust, PLO Man's RA Podcast continues that lineage in style. Opening with the featherlight microhouse of Margaret Dygas, RA.988 unfolds into a carefully curated spectrum of minimal, dub and deep techno. Among familiar names—look out for the blinding Rhythm & Sound and Moodymann blend—are deep cuts and left turns alongside the odd outlier, like lovers' rock pioneer Gregory Isaacs.

Like the best of his forebears, PLO Man wants RA.988 to take time for you to settle in. But once you do, you won’t want to leave.

’00s CD-inspired minimal and techno from Matthew Kent

"a few tracks [are] from ‘00s era CDs i’ve found forgotten about in a weird/cool CD only store in Sheffield that has that satisfying ex-HMV racking you can flip through at high speed. no greater feeling than leaving there after an hour with a little envelope sized brown paper bag containing a saint etienne cd, some terrible/great chillout compilation, and a ken ishii thing you’ve not heard before for all of £10."
