    By anyone's standards, KI/KI has had a meteoric rise. She started DJing at queer party SPIELRAUM in Amsterdam in 2018, and by now she's one of Europe's most-talked about DJs. She blends modern strands of techno with…

  3. RA.931 Setaoc Mass

    · 1 h 01 min

    Sam Coates took to techno like a diligent pupil, falling in love with the genre through labels like CLR in the late '00s. It didn't take long for the student to surpass his proverbial teachers. Almost immediately, the…

  4. RA.930 INVT

    · 1 h 04 min

  5. RA.929 Introspekt

    · 1 h 35 min

    Last year, when we wrote that "the best UK garage is coming out of Los Angeles," we were talking about Introspekt. The US DJ, who has since moved to New York, really understands the genre—its appeal, swing and unique,…

  7. RA.927 Sugar Free

    · 1 h 17 min

    Of all the Berlin DJs who make a living spinning strange, I'm-not-sharing-the-tracklist kind of records, Sugar Free, originally hailing from Madrid, might be the most fun. She plays bold, colourful tracks with an air…

  9. RA.925 Shubostar

    · 1 h 02 min

    Shubostar's RA Podcast begins and ends with video game music. (The beginning kind of sounds like Mary Poppins, actually.) Lots of DJs and producers play or make music that emulates the nostalgic sounds of old-school…

  10. RA.924 Bitter Babe

    · 1 h 25 min

    If Bitter Babe was a perfume, her scent would be animalic—heavy musk, bergamot, worn leather and burnt spices. The Bogotá-born, Miami-bred and now Berlin-based artist has a heady, ultra-rhythmic sound that feels made…

  11. RA.923 Rick Wade

    · 1 h 34 min

  14. RA.920 Client_03

    · 1 h 16 min

    Whoever Client_03 is—their official bio says "neither human nor machine"—they certainly love electro. In the interview below, they say making it is "all I do." The stubbornly anonymous project has been making waves…

  15. RA.919 Ariel Zetina

    · 1 h 22 min

    Ariel Zetina is as charming as she is talented—one of the many reasons she was named "Chicagoan of the Year for Pop Music" by the Chicago Tribune last month. A straight shooter with strong principles, her witty…

  17. RA.917 Purelink

    · 1 h 34 min

  19. RA.915 Quest

    · 1 h 15 min

  20. RA.914 Delano Smith

    · 1 h 43 min

  21. RA.913 33EMYBW

  22. RA.912 Florentino

    · 1 h 00 min
