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.

RA.988 PLO Man

Raised in Bristol, JackWallis earliest musical influences were shaped by
dubstep, punk, and UK techno, shown by his early releases on Darwin's label SPE:C.

Following his move to Berlin in 2017, he and The Lady Machine established Unterwegs,
an imprint to release music from like minded talents, including Decka's
pressurised, raw, and driving techno productions.

Since then, he has released on top-tier labels such as KEY Vinyl, AMTK+, TarHallow
and Reclaim Your City.

Pushing the boundaries of modern-day techno, the quality of his music is consistently
recognised with multiples old-out releases and a growing portfolio of remix
commissions for esteemed artists such as Dubfire. 

He now runs a second label with artist Roseen- Frameworks- where the duo released their debut album "Imaginary Places" in 2023.

His fervent love for analog in the studio translates behind decks. DJ'ing only with
vinyl since the beginning of his career, Decka’s sets not only highlight his clear-cut
technique but a refilled with moments of suspense and tension amidst high-octane
energy, drawing on his extensive knowledge of techno, never limiting him self to just one style.

#SlamRadio - 652 - Decka

After visiting the lakeside dreamland last year I couldn't help myself but imagine on the moment what I would play if I had the opportunity to perform there myself (as any DJ would, I guess). I had different archetypes of sets forming in the back of my mind for different times of the day possible, if the opportunity ever came one day. 
So when I got invited to play the opening of Floresta on Sunday, it first came as a bit of a surprise, but the surprise turned into excitement and it was time to prepare a special set where I could dig into my dub techno collection. 
So, I am very happy to share with you the recording of my set, where I finally had the chance to play slow, deep, dubby and sunny techno in such a setting. 
Thank you @wakinglifeportugal for the opportunity. 
I hope you enjoy !

Picking up on the Mix Series, we have 60 minutes of rolling, ethereal psychedelia from Seattle based dj/producer/friend Yamanaka. As the co-captain of DEPTH and with a multitude of releases under his belt, Raymond continues to be a source of inspiration for us in Seattle, and we couldn’t be happier to share this mix.
