Just an exercise i did the other day. I wanted to see how quickly i could put together a more or less faithful version of Kraftwerk's The Model. This one took me about 2 hours, start to finish. Since i went for authenticity it was heavy on the Minimoog and Arp Odyssey, and i used my Vako Orchestron choir samples for the chorus, just like Ralf & the gang. Should have worked more on the drums, but the Cr78(via NI Maschine) seemed to get me pretty close. I didn't bother with vocals so feel free to sing along yourself. Not nearly enough people pick this song on Karaoke night :)

Vancouver Sleep Clinic & GXNXVS - Hold On We're Going Home (Drake Cover)

Volume 2 of this mix series is full of fresh releases and old favorites gathered for the May edition of my Red Door residency.

This one’s a pressure cooker: A steady climb through deep Techno, mutant Dembow, hard club tools, leftfield edits, and fast, percussive rollers from across the map. 
Lots of playful tension and rhythm-forward momentum.

Where April was dubby and psychedelic, May went a bit harder and with a bit more cheek.

Enjoy.

RED DOOR MIXTAPE - VOL. 2

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)

RA.1000 DJ Harvey & Andrew Weatherall

From 1997 a rarely heard and previously deleted cover of the Scott Walker song It's Raining Today from the long-lost solo record of Simon Raymonde.
In 2019, it seems the album may finally get a vinyl release and finally make its way to Spotify etc.

It's Raining Today

A late-stage rehearsal straight to cassette for reference. Recorded shortly before going into the studio, probably at John Henry rehearsal rooms. This is Mark on guitar, Lee on drums, and myself on piano and organ (the bass was always addressed in the studio once the basic track was down, which is why it doesn't feature here).
It's best to take the 8 minutes out and listen to the end, preferably in headphones, and in a quiet space,

Eden rehearsal cassette

The first ever demo of 'Several Times'! Remixed versions were featured later on 'Sleeps With The Fishes' and This Moral Coil's 'Blood'. It was recorded on a 4 track cassette recorder in 1983, using a Korg Poly 800 and a microphone only. The sound recording is abysmal but the gloomy yet poetic and melancholical atmosphere is undeniably present already. This raw, unpolished version is featured on the Clan Of Xymox Early Demos.
