“Exceptional house and techno from the Panorama Bar resident.
“Steffi’s original RA podcast went out on September 15th, 2008, and it felt like a riposte to the minimal sound that had been dominant around that time. “I am very moved by the fresh wind of more authentic sounding records,” she told us. “It inspires me a lot because of an overkill of digital laptop music from the past few years.” Steffi also talked about the freedom she enjoyed as a resident at Berlin’s Panorama Bar (word of this crazy club was slowing reaching people outside of Germany). She’s been a mainstay there ever since, building a profile as an internationally renowned DJ and producer.
“I recorded the mix last week at home, using decks and the Rane 2015.
This is a small selection of where my head is currently at. There is not so much to say about the mix—it’s for those who feel, more than anything.
On the menu for 2016: I did a lot of co-production work for Virginia’s forthcoming album on Ostgut alongside Martyn and Dexter. We will also tour as a band to perform those songs live on stage, which is really, really exciting. To keep it in the family, a new EP with Martyn as Doms & Deykers is coming in spring, and a full-length album later on this year. Also me and Dexter just re-launched our Klakson imprint with some of the old artists, and I found some exciting new artists on Dolly I can’t wait to feature.””

“A strange and lovely bricolage.
On June 14th, 2010, Nicolas Jaar, who was building a reputation as the most exciting new artist on the scene, was behind one of our most adventurous mixes to date. Although not a DJ at the time, Jaar had an uncanny knack for sequencing, moving gracefully through artists diverse as Mobb Deep, Aphex Twin and Marvin Gaye. Jaar released his debut album, Space Is Only Noise, the following year, and went on to take the top spot in our live acts poll three years in a row. On stage and on record, he remains one of the most creatively unhinged artists in electronic music.
“Mix was recorded in December 2015, in Brooklyn, New York. Picture is from those new machines at passport control at JFK.
Ask a friend to translate the Khalife track for you. Thanks for including me in this.
Happy New Year. Peace.””

“RA’s editorial team looks back on the year.
Just before we draw a line under 2015, there’s still the small matter of our year-in-review Critics Roundtable. In what’s now an annual tradition, some of the RA editorial team gathered in Berlin a couple weeks ago to talk in-depth about who and what was moving us this year. Loosely taking our cues from RA’s polls, which are now all available to see here, we discussed some of the best DJs, live acts, labels, online mixes, albums and RA podcasts of 2015. We managed to keep the talk under 90 minutes this year, so put on your headphones and get ready for plenty of nerdy music chat and a little bit of banter.”

“A journey to the centre of footwork.
Footwork came up in Chicago’s South Side, and it has fierce sense of local pride, but in 2015 it’s more international than ever. DJ Paypal is a Berlin-based North Carolinian artist who is among the most far-flung members of the scene-leading Teklife crew, both musically and geographically, and he’s also among the most influential of the genre’s new wave. His take on footwork is kaleidoscopic and vivid, expanding on the Spinn and Rashad template for a brand of footwork that looks backwards and forwards in equal measure.”

“High-octane sounds from a UK techno mainstay.
Can you tell us about the idea behind the mix?
I just wanted it to be an accurate reflection of what I’m playing these days. There’s lots of new material, plus tracks from up-and-coming artists and couple of older favourites too. It’s been a while since a DJ set of mine went public as the radio show has been my main focus, so I wanted to try and capture the feel and energy of my sets rather than the more polished feel of Run It Red. I’m pretty happy with it. Recreating a DJ set in a room on your own doesn’t always work out, but this one feels quite close.”

“A dance music chameleon tells his story.
Over the last decade, Eric Prydz has had global hits, a couple Grammy nominations and headlined Madison Square Garden, but he’s never forgotten where he’s from. Prydz got his start in electronic music at a time when Stockholm, his hometown, was reverberating to the sounds of local techno artists like Cari Lekebusch and Joel Mull. Their stripped-back blueprint remained in his genes, so even as Prydz built an enormous catalogue of melodically rich club hits, he continued to explore his darker side through his alias Cirez D. This has meant that he’s just as comfortable headlining an enormous EDM festival or one of his own EPIC events as he is playing with Scuba, Maceo Plex or Sasha. When Ryan Keeling visited him at his LA home a couple months back, there was much to discuss. Prydz’s label Pryda Recordings had just turned ten, he was preparing to announce details of the first album under his own name and the Four Tet remix of his track “Opus” (the one with the enormous breakdown) had just seen the light of day.”

“The Scottish DJ drops a wild 60 minutes.
On her RA podcast, it takes Stirling all of two minutes to demonstrate this knack: she opens with a Shackleton-esque new track by the footwork artist Jlin before easing into a breezy ’80s freestyle cut by Cynthia Roundtree. What follows is a gripping collision between classic and contemporary, with raw house and techno rhythms bumping against fresh beats from talents like Blacksea Não Maya, Shanti Celeste and Inkke.”

“Every time he looks into your eyes he sees the future.
It’s almost crazy to consider that, 15 years on, the “Sunglasses At Night” guy is still charming us in much the same way. On his 2001 cover of the Corey Hart track of the same name, Tiga Sontag outlined a fun, electro-soaked vision of club music that defines his successes and appeal to this today. Then again, who else in dance music is using humour so stylishly? Who else makes pop tracks but gets a pass from the underground? Who else so successfully skirts this line in their DJ sets? And who else shoots videos like this?”

“Subtle sounds from one of Romania’s finest.
When many people think of Romanian house music, three DJs immediately come to mind: Rhadoo, Raresh and Petre Inspirescu. Look a little deeper, though, and you’ll find a vast undercurrent of highly skilled selectors, many without much recognition outside fans of the country’s subtle minimalist sound. These DJs play most of their gigs in Romania, only occasionally venturing abroad for dates outside their home country. They play (and often make) music at a very high standard, their output defined by intricate, groove-led tracks built for long DJ sets and crystal-clear soundsystems
Herodot is one such artist. Co-founder of the Unanim label with Piticu, he’s been a respected DJ in Bucharest, his home town, for the past decade, playing frequently in clubs around the city both as a warm up DJ and occasional headliner. Like many of his countrymen, his style is loopy and restrained, shaped by long spells behind the decks and frequent appearances at afterhour events. This week’s podcast is a window into the thriving scene Herodot has emerged from. Percussion shuffles, basslines ebb and flow, but the groove stays steady. It’s music to get lost in.”

“The 50Weapons man soundtracks the label’s funeral.
With 50Weapons closing shop this year, it’s been a time to reflect on the legacy Modeselektor’s label will leave behind. Benjamin Damage is a key part of that conversation. The Welsh-born Berliner has been there since the beginning—as the first artist signed to 50Weapons, his evolution through techno has been fully documented by the label’s catalog. After a few records of the heavy stuff (and a killer Doc Daneeka collaboration), Damage began to soften and brighten the burly edges, a sound that fully came together on 2013’s Heliosphere. This debut album, informed by ’90s IDM and ambient, tapped into some of the lushest euphoria techno could offer, but also featured outright bangers like “010x” and “Delirium Tremens.” Two years later, Damage’s Obsidian LP continued to explore that space and uncover strange treasures. It was both an excellent release and the ideal final album for 50Weapons. After five years of involvement, Damage seems to encapsulate what the label stood for: heavy beats, flawless production and wide-ranging influences.
Which is also what you get from his RA podcast. Discordant and claustrophobic, percussive and hypnotic, pristine and blissful, melodic and rapturous—all shades of techno are here. So it’s how Damage connects the dots between an atonal drum workout by Vin Sol & Matrixxman and his glistening roller “Cosmonaut,” or J. Tijn’s rugged “Pick Your Battles V1″ and the smothering Flug remix of Felix Lorusso, that’s among his best tricks. Though the Welshman’s label home will soon be no more, this mix shows just how much ground he still has left to cover.”

“A mix legend shows his skills.
When it comes to recording mixes, Sasha has some of the best credentials in dance music. In 2013 he released Invol<3r, a two-CD missive made up entirely of his own remixes, and the latest chapter in a story that dates back to 1994. That was the year Sasha and John Digweed, his long-time sparring partner, recorded The Renaissance Mix Collection, one of the first-ever fully mixed compilations. This wasn't merely a format advancement, though: the mix is considered one of the greatest there is—although it had a rival in Northern Exposure, the double mix the pair delivered in 1996. During the '90s, through his mix CDs and club sets (both of which took on a mythical status) Sasha helped create the blueprint for progressive house, a style that favoured emotive synthesis, driving basslines and long, seamless mixing. He had an almost samurai-like approach to DJing, with an emphasis on technique and a studied attention to detail."

“From the club to the couch.
Florian Kupfer is associated with the wave of “outsider house” artists who emerged a couple of years ago, but in his case the term couldn’t be more reductive. Sure, he’s known for 2013’s “Feelin’,” a track whose overdriven drums and deranged vocal typified the sound, but the German artist is far too versatile to be described in such a straightforward way. Lifetrax, his debut EP, opened with Drexciyan electro; “Shpel,” the last track on Explora, his most recent EP, is sludgy ambient. The releases in between have been united only by a lo-fi production style and a general sense of adventure. Kupfer also seems to be fond of hardware improv, which has made him a good fit for Ron Morelli’s L.I.E.S., with whom Kupfer has released four EPs (if you count his split 12-inch with Vereker on its Russian Torrent Versions sub-label). He’s also found a sparring partner in Willie Burns, with whom he’s released music on Rush Hour’s No ‘Label’ and Burns’s W.T. Records.”

“Fresh grime styles.
On the cover for his new album, Safe, Louis Carnell looks like he’s just awoken from a cryogenic freeze. It’s an appropriate image. His tracks as Visionist sound as if they were made in an icy cave. Carnell uses wordless vocal samples and glassy synths to create an ethereal, almost choral take on grime. The South Londoner has been honing his style for the last few years, releasing on respected, boundary-pushing labels like Lit City Trax, Diskotopia, Leisure System and Left Blank. He’s been a key name in the recent wave of creativity that’s swept instrumental grime, but instead of focusing on rhythmic innovation or experimental sonics like many of his peers, Carnell’s channelled emotions. On the two-part I’m Fine series he explored the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. “The sharply honed dance music motifs that swim in the vast space seem untethered from any club context, instead pointing in on themselves,” said Maya Kalev in her review of Part II. Similarly, Safe, which is released this week through PAN, sees Carnell confronting his struggles with anxiety. “I needed to make it a challenging listen to reflect this,” he says below. The album’s 15 tracks push Carnell’s template further than ever before—the beats are tougher, the vocals more dense, the atmospheres chillier.”

“Murky ambience from a dance music outsider.
In 2012, DJ Richard founded White Material with Quinn Taylor, AKA Young Male, a friend and former classmate at Rhode Island School Of Design. By their own admission, they were a little wet behind the ears. “The only thing I knew about selling music was selling cassettes at a noise show,” Richard told us a couple years ago. That didn’t slow them down much—their tracks were strange and fresh enough to make their label an immediate hit, landing a distribution deal with Hard Wax and quickly selling out their first releases. Things have moved fast since then. Richard relocated to Berlin, got a job at Record Loft and honed his craft as a DJ and producer. This month he released Grind, his excellent debut album on Dial Records.
On paper it might seem like Richard’s changed a lot these past few years, moving as he has from the basement shows of Providence to the nightclubs of Europe. But his history with America’s scrappy noise underground still informs his music, lending a dark, arthouse spirit to even his most clubby productions. RA.486 underlines this fact, stringing 74 minutes of avant-garde selections into what sounds like a transmission from the dark corners of the subconscious.”
