Posthumous mixes from Frankie Knuckles and Andrew Weatherall feature on 1000th episode of Resident Advisor Podcast

The project reaches a crescendo today with the release of incredibly rare vault material from two of the 20th century's most important dance and electronic pioneers. One is a two-part mix from the personal archive of the Godfather of House, Frankie Knuckles. Recorded individually in 1989 and 1996 and digitised for the first time courtesy of the Frankie Knuckles Foundation, the set provides a window into the genesis and growth of house music.

The other is a full six-and-a-half hour set between two UK dance music icons, Andrew Weatherall and DJ Harvey. Recorded in 2012 at legendary Amsterdam club Trouw, it is the first official posthumous mix for Weatherall since his death in February 2020, as well as a one-and-done moment for DJ Harvey sharing the booth.

"I decided to keep that as my only ever B2B to honour Andy," writes DJ Harvey in a new interview accompanying the set. "I don't do too many mixes, but I was of course happy to give permission for this one to be out there when Andy's family and RA approached me." Weatherall's partner, Lizzie Walker, also shares the following on behalf of the family of the acid house pioneer: "We are delighted that this is seeing the light of day. We hope that Andrew's ethos continues to inspire creativity in this generation and generations to come."

RA.1000 features nearly 30 hours of new music across ten mixes, with exclusives from Frankie Knuckles, DJ Harvey B2B Andrew Weatherall, Sama’ Abdulhadi, Helena Hauff, Theo Parrish, Bicep, Mark Ernestus, Jyoty, Terre Thaemlitz (AKA DJ Sprinkles) and Tim Reaper. Resident Advisor also reissues entire catalogue of signature series as part of drive to preserve and present a living archive of 21st century DJ culture.
