Resident Advisor Podcast

Is anyone else amazed by the consistently good sets coming from this podcast every week? It's got great variety (everything from disco, to dubstep, to minimal, to chicago house), and it really opens your eyes to DJs/artists who are under the radar.

Sets by Derrick Carter, Lee Jones, and Simbad are all still available for download, and they're all really good IMO.

Keep doing what you're doing RA!

completely agree out of the last 10 i didnt like maybe 2

Just checked out the Derrick Carter set. Amazing! I think he's actually gotten funkier than when I saw him a few years back, which for me is perfect.

Whichever tune he plays at around 30 minute mark... so so good, just lifted my mood about 3 notches for today.

Is there any way to get ahold of the archived sets? There are some really interesting looking sets in there, by names that I always thought were totally obscure like Four Tet and Future Loop Foundation...

I wasn't feeling the derrick carter one. Too clangy for me....love the stimming, lee jones and simbad ones. there are a few from last year that I play regularly as well. It's such a good idea for a podcast and I'm glad it got enough traction to start attracting some big names like Hawtin, Carter, etc.

Finally finished listening to it, and yea it's an amazing set. Honestly RA has been on fire more than usual lately.

ps. I like the song at 59:30. Holy fuck!

Graham, where in the Lee Jones set was that track you got an ID on?

I just noticed my itunes is downloading RA 125 - MOVE D! This will be along the lines of the deep tech ones out lately. Can't wait!

I want to toss in my vote for the Laurent Garnier podcast as well (from back in June). What's really interesting about him is that, like a lot of DJs, he's obviously updated his sound after 15 years or so, but you can still hear the similarities and it's still very distinctively his sound.

With a lot of veteran DJs, the only real commonality between the old and new material is that it all fits into roughly the same genre. With Laurent, I'm not even sure that there is a specific genre, but there remains this element that's just so singularly twisted and weird (though not in a "WTF" way, more of a "hmmm" way, if that makes any sense).

Listen to a recent mix like the podcast along with one of his Essential Mixes from, say, 1994, and you'll see what I mean. He used to play a lot "harder" and it's intriguing to see how he's applied the same style to a (relatively speaking) minimal, techy set. I'm just trying to figure out if this is actually what he plays now, or if he put together this style of set specially for RA.

I thought the last track was pretty good - are you talking about the 5 minutes or so before that one where it sounds like lightning struck the building and surged into one of his turntable motors?

If so, I assumed it was either comic relief or a test to see who was still paying attention.

fuck I better make sure I'm talking about the right set before I start saying shit like that haha

I'm 99% sure it was the Stimming RA from like 2-3 months ago... it was unbelievably well programmed + crazy percussion awesomness and in the last 12 mins it gets next level boring, like does nothing and goes nowhere...

Well, #111 from July is the one I'm talking about... gets seriously weird from around the 50-minute mark but ends with kind of a funky-but-still-sorta-minimal vocal tune. Although you might consider that boring haha.

are the first 30 mins like the most amazing clangy percussion you've ever heard in your life?
