The mastermind behind Basic Channel, Hard Wax and Rhythm & Sound doesn't do mixes. For RA.1000, he made an exception.
Trace Mark Ernestus's path, and you trace the evolution of electronic sound itself. Contemporary Berlin is unimaginable without him. First came Hard Wax, the hub that shaped the city's techno revolution—Carl Craig once said it plainly: "Mark was ground zero."
Then came dub techno and the near-flawless Basic Channel and Rhythm & Sound catalogues, immersion in Senegalese mbalax with Ndagga Rhythm Force, and now Open Ground in Wuppertal.
For RA.1000 part three, Ernestus has supplied his first studio DJ mix. It’s technically immaculate and a generous conduit to one of the world's most vital genres.
