RA.994 D.Dan

2025/06/23

RA.993 Peshay

RA Podcast ·

2025/06/15

A new studio set from one of the foundational icons of drum & bass.Few names in drum & bass carry as much history as Peshay. Paul Pesce came up in the crucible of early rave and left fingerprints on labels like Mo' Wax, Good Looking and, most obviously, Metalheadz. By the time drum & bass was surging in the mid-'90s, he was bolted as one of the scene's most distinctive voices. Where others were pushing clinical austerity or waves of dark pressure, Pesce's ear drew him to featherlight, jazzy

RA.992 Laurel Halo

RA Podcast ·

2025/06/08

A rare club mix from the ever-evolving artist, with 90 minutes of shadowy, atmospheric pressure. Music's therapeutic value is often linked to relaxation—gongs, singing bowls and the like. Dense passages of foggy droning and eerie static aren't traditionally considered restorative, but Laurel Halo makes a pretty good case for it. The Detroit-born, Los Angeles-based musician's abstract, often improvised productions are heavy on sound design and emotional climax. Driven by atmosphere rather than

RA.991 BADSISTA

RA Podcast ·

2025/06/01

Club futurism and a stack of new material from one of São Paulo's boldest shapeshifters.BADSISTA doesn't do stasis. In fact, he prefers to be in a constant state of motion. It was immediately obvious when the São Paulo artist broke out with his 2016 self-titled EP, in which a bass-heavy melange of baile funk, dembow and trap demonstrated an ability to satiate almost any dance floor. But BADSISTA continued to evolve through the different moods and textures of the club: from experimental

2025/05/28

"I'm an individualist." The Throbbing Gristle co-founder on extreme experimentation, difficult women and her new album, 2t2.As long as underground culture has existed, there have been pockets of resistance—people at the fringes who challenge societal expectations and create work that pushes against societal norms.

RA.990 bastiengoat

RA Podcast ·

2025/05/25

One hour of resolutely DIY club workouts, from one of the West Coast's most exciting producers. If you've been in the club recently, chances are you've heard the work of Julian Edwards, AKA bastiengoat. Maybe it was the standout 2022 track "Tell Me If You Like It," which blends jungle breaks with a slinky sample from Cassie's R&B anthem "Me & U" to create a 130 banger perfect for modern dance floors. The Oakland-based producer has become a go-to name for party cuts that bounce, favoured by the

EX.766 Surgeon

RA Podcast ·

2025/05/21

"My mission is to explore the boundaries of psychedelic music." The revered techno artist talks about expanding consciousness, breaking the rules and his new album on Tresor.

2025/05/18

Three hours of high drama, recorded live at Nowadays in New York.We know what you're thinking: why did it take so long to get Binh on the RA Podcast?

So to make up for lost time, the revered digger lands on the series with a tantalising three-hour mix, recorded live at Nowadays in New York earlier this year. Crammed with rare and unreleased gems spanning house, techno, and electro, RA.989 is heavy

RA.988 PLO Man

RA Podcast ·

2025/05/11

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

RA.987 gyrofield

RA Podcast ·

2025/05/05

Kinetic club energy generated by one of the sharpest talents in drum & bass and beyond.Much of the best electronic music rests along the axes of versatility and curiosity: being able to a pull a broad array of influences into your orbit and alchemise it into something distinctive and fresh. That's gyrofield to a tee. Kiana Li began making waves in drum & bass as a teenager, years before setting foot in a club or experiencing the sound on a proper rig. That's a key factor which helps explain how

One of today's most exciting stars is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, better known as FKA twigs.

RA.985 Lechuga Zafiro

RA Podcast ·

2025/04/20

Relentless rhythms and Latin dance history from one of TraTraTrax's finest.Percussion is, at the root, a conversation. It's about different instruments meeting each other, and interacting to form something bigger than the sum of its parts. Few engage in this dialogue as boldly as Pablo De Vargas, AKA Uruguayan experimentalist Lechuga Zafiro, who draws from tradition, to make sounds like candombe and clave feel, well, completely new. De Vargas' music reaches outward, building bridges between
