commendation for outstanding service to human race: resident advisor

Sonja Moonear! She was good at Womb in March also, slightly eclipsed by Omar/Libertine.

i was actually a little disappointed in francesco's...compared to some of his mixes over the last few years!

I agree not his best, I expected to like Andrew James Gustav's XLR8R mix more also (but maybe I am getting him confused with someone else.

The Spring podcasts have disappeared off soundcloud, there were some special moments in those

the record at 51 mins in Evan Baggs is a bank holiday treat, searched high and low all over Morecambe Bay but not a sign, nice little chaser with the one at 55 mins too

The Tijana T one is an absolute barnstormer. Contains a segue of Dance Mania into Fairmont's Gazebo into We Built This House that is just outrageous.

The interview is really good as well, this account of raving in Belgrade as the bombs dropped. And she openly admits to playing records she knows people don't like in order to blow the roof off when she switches up.

what's the best balearic RA podcast? Or even just an outstanding one?

prins thomas. (gets the 'spirit' of baleric, I think.)

Sorry if it's old news but... oh wow, the entire podcast archive is on Soundcloud?! Rejoice! https://soundcloud.com/resident-advisor/sets/ra-podcast-archive

xp I will investigate that! also yeah I just listend to the Dixon mix from 2007 for the first time (on Mixcloud, which also has everything) and it's really good

Harvey's is outstanding and weird and all-over-the-place as well. Cracking use of vocal samples, without wanting to spoiler anything.

The Quiet Village one is also excellent, that's a proper horizontal Sunday morning podcast.

DJ Harvey? I saw him in Vegas once and it was incredible.

The use of a warped, dubby "Telstar" edit in that Harvey mix is brilliant.

I tried to listen to the Harvey mix yday at the gym and it was VERY all over the place. I guess I expected it to have the sort of constant backbeat that most RA mixes have.

Shawn Rudiman

Meanwhile....I'm really enjoying the track at 90 mins in Craig Richards one

Is Craig Richards good now? I've sort of lost a handle of what he even plays these days.

The Mark Barrott one from last week is lush.

I don't think Craig was ever really that bad....or that good either! I like that record though whatever it is..

I just associate him with workmanlike tech-house but I'll give this one a go.

Its always felt like theres been a potato element to Craig's sound can't argue with that

still dont know what the one following the rudiman in evan baggs one is though - or those two in the jane fitz one that are still hiding in the hedgerow

this week's (#559) is incredible

you know with a beard like that dude isn't here to fuck around

holy shit y'all Alan Howarth (who collaborated w/ John Carpenter for a bunch of 80s film scores) did an RA mix and it's like all atmospheric 80s John Carpenter music?? WOW

The recent Egyptrixx one was great, the first half especially.

I found the Ivkovic one very meandering and quite flat footed in a lot of places but its best moments were incredible.

My dumb New Year's resolution was to listen to all 52 of these this year, and the Mark Barott and Moscoman mixes have been the real keepers so far.

josey rebelle mix from last year is really good

found my old iPod from years back, powered it up, and it has RA mix podcasts back to episode 1 :D

Amazed that Nathan Fake hadn't done one before now, and while I stopped checking for his own music years ago his mix is excellent - very widescreen, lots of 90s bleep techno in there.

holy fuck "Voodoo Ray", i am FLIPPING for this Nathan Fake mix

i'm realizing this sounds exactly like an Optimo set

Fake's new album is his first in five years. Apparently it's very good

i've been listening to the couple preview tracks, not bad

that is to say, for the last month. going to listen to the full album now that it's out

wait nm the mix that sounded like an Optimo set was something entirely different I put on by mistake. This Fake mix is still great!

haha

I was going to say...

the new nathan fake album is surprisingly good - "degreelessness" is a huge standout

the new nathan fake album is surprisingly good - "degreelessness" is a huge standout

I just chanced it and it sounded like something the hey qt people would do on their day off

wow rude

I know! I wasn't going to say anything, but I played it and there it was, unmistakable!

The video didn't help either, it looked like if you took the person or people out of the hey qt video.

Degreelessness is the only one so far with any sense of space or dynamics. The rest is just standard M83 type shit and basically the reason I avoid Nathan Fake albums.

I feel like there are some parallels there but only if you're comparing to old M83 and not post-whenever M83 where the project turned into electronica retro Coldplay

the young marco podcast is fantastic.

aye

The Willow one from a few weeks ago is a keeper.

Flørist one is nice

blimey .. not heard that crustation album in years ...

Extremely good editorial on the site:

https://www.residentadvisor.net/features/3105

In sum: polls are being stopped in favor of unranked scene-surveying features. Among their stated points for the decision: uncomfortableness with erasure of non-white dudes in their poll results.

good for the, they should stop with the pointless numerical ratings while they're at it
