Archived Resident Advisor Podcasts – free download

This made my day today. A link to download all the archived Resident Advisor Podcasts. The best podcast out there by a country mile.

A while ago, they started archiving podcasts without giving me the chance to save them all, so i lost some absolute beauties. But now, the numbers included in that URL are as valuable to me as the winning lottery numbers… (almost).

If you don’t fancy downloading them all – here’s my pick of the bunch.

RA017 – Matthew Styles. One of the earlier mixes and one of the best from ex Crosstown Rebels head honcho.
RA032 – Henrik Schwarz. Henrik’s own style of instrumental techno and minimal techno
RA074 – Prins Thomas. Live set featuring some biggies such as LCD Soundsystem 45-33 and Aeroplane’s debut track Caramellas
RA098 – Todd Terje. Groovy techy Disco.
RA102 – Fourtet. Psychedelic electronica.
RA104 – Quiet Village. Samples and soundtracks.
RA114 – Aeroplane. For me, the best mix i heard last year
RA126 – Motorcitysoul. Never heard of them before this, now i look out for them all the time.
RA131 – Johnno Burgess. 80’s cheesefest spectacular
RA134. Danny Howells. Does what he does best.
RA136 – The Orb. As expected, beatless bliss.
RA144 – Surgeon. Hard, Room 1 Fabric Techno. I fooking love this.
RA147 – DJ Pete. The latest release, dubstep and dubby techno.

Lets hope that treasure chest stays up long enough for us to grab them all.

RA Goes beatless – RA 136: The Orb

I have been waiting for quite a while for a decent chill-out mix to creep up within the Resident Advisor Podcast. The Quiet Village episode was close on the downtempo tip, but if anyone is going to do it and do it properly, its The Orb. RA have officially published its first ambient podcast – about time.

Proper ambient beatless bliss. The mix takes on the familiar Kompakt Pop Ambient guise, with fellow ex Orb’er Thomas Fehlmann’s influences oozing throughout and Ulf Lohmann providing the epic ‘Nicht Die Welt’ mid-way through. No tracklisting has been put up, to many RA members disgust, so please feel free to id any of the tracks.

Hop along to the Resident Advisor podcast page to download the podcast (you have to be a member>sign up for free) and for a quick Q&A with the men behind the mix.

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik

One of my favourite tracks of the year has been the Eine Kleine Nachtmusik – La Serenissima.

I first heard this track on an Aeroplane – Resident Advisor podcast (which may i add is top notch). Awesome hook and an even better bass kick, perfect peak time destroyer.  I am a mighty bit behind on this but i thought i would post it up in case, like me, you let it slip by.

Check out the mixtape below for a spacey electronic (mainly German) trip into the mind of Riton’s alter ego – Eine Kleine Nachtmusik – rated as one of the ‘20 best Mix’s of 2008′ by FACT Magazine.

Download it here and enjoy.
