Episodes

  1. RA.1060 Ogazón

    The Berlin DJ, one of the brightest of her generation, makes a patient case for house and techno on vinyl. We’ve all heard the phrase “DJ’s DJ.” Too often, it’s lazy shorthand for a technical skill so esoteric it’s lost on the dance floor. But Nathalie Ogazón Faber embodies the craft in its…

  2. RA.1059 nthng

    Cinematic techno from the mysterious Dutch producer. Some of the best techno is both beautiful and austere. On an old Robert Hood or Sandwell District track, the industrial clank of percussion gives way to bursts of melody where you can hear the ghosts singing inside the machines. It's this…

  4. RA.1058 Tromac

  5. RA.1057 Marina Herlop

    An hour of ancient and alien sounds from the Catalan composer and PAN favourite. Marina Herlop is at once from the future and from the past. The classically trained Catalan singer's voice opens a door onto an older world—a nymph out of a Romantic painting. Underneath, something deeply alien.…

    more
  6. RA.1056 Jasmín

    One of the Netherlands' sharpest selectors turns in over two hours of smoke-thick techno and cathartic bass weight. "Genre-defying" has trailed Jasmín Hoek, best known as Jasmín, for years. It isn't wrong—listen to the Dutch-Argentinian artist's mixes and you'll hear anything from Rrose and…

    more
  7. RA.1055 Grace Dahl

    Supersized techno, from the Vault Sessions darling. If you're part of the post-2020 cohort of techno heads, odds are you've heard of Grace Dahl.

  9. RA.1054 SW.

    more

  11. RA.1053 Public Service

    A New York summertime block party in all of its glory. New York City has had an epic few months.

  12. EX.809 Mykki Blanco

    The US musician, poet and performance artist reflects on "queer rap,” the industry that boxed him into it and the reinvention he's built on the other side.

    more
  16. RA.1050 O Ghettão

    The Príncipe all stars transmit the future sound of batida, live from Waking Life. In theory, a supergroup should be a carefree yet thrilling assembly of well-known talents, bound to multiply each other's creative output.

  17. RA.1049 Topdown Dialectic

    The long-anonymous Peak Oil favourite breaks cover with two hours that run from post-punk and dub to vintage New York house. Mystery is a powerful force. What stays unknown stays enticing—negative space the listener fills in for themselves. Minimalists may be its largest constituency, and few…

    more

    The Dutch producer on flow state, communal music-making and his new album, Music for Existing. Martijn Deijkers, AKA Martyn, has spent close to three decades resisting labels.

  22. RA.1046 Jennifer Loveless

    90 minutes of scintillating house and techno, primed for the heart of summer. There's something delightfully paradoxical about Jennifer Loveless.

    Seven hours of camp, chug and genre-hopping hedonism from techno's two princes of darkness, recorded live at Kyiv's ∄.

  32. RA.1040 Clementaum

    The São Paulo-based artist tears through baile funk, ballroom, Latin club and techno in a turbo-charged showcase of global club music's cutting edge. Take one look at Clementaum behind the decks and she seems less like a DJ than a force of nature. Dressed to the nines and usually keeping time…

    more
  33. RA.1039 K Wata

    Sleek, sensual bass science from the NYC SLINK boss, sketching a new blueprint for dub in the 2020s. Kenzo Perron, AKA K Wata, uses bass the way a poet uses punctuation.

    The lost art of the slow burn, courtesy of the rising London house DJ.
