Steffi RA Podcast
Confession time:
1. I shamefully never really download the Resident Advisor podcast unless it’s something that I’m sure I’ll like. I don’t know why, just overload of things to listen to as it is I guess.
2. I once pretended to be a 9/11 survivor “to get chicks”.
Okay so only one of the above is a true.
This week is an exception though, when I saw the tracklist for the Steffi mix I had a strong feeling it’d be good. I didn’t bank on it being my favourite since the Efdemin mix though. I’d say this is the best RA podcast in ages but I’ve given away my secret above so I can’t claim to have listened to any since the Sascha Dive edition!
But this is about as good as a mix gets, a really great trip through deep house and a little techno. I guess you don’t become a Panorama Bar resident without skills. I listened to it on Monday night with some friends and everyone was blown away really.
I also like that Steffi says the mix was recorded with a cup of tea on the side. I reckon this is something we can all relate to, you need a huge mug though, and be careful you don’t let it go cold as you descend several fathoms into music with the headphones clasped over both ears.
While you’re checking the Steffi mix out here, you could read my reviews of Morgan Geist, Kerri Chandler/Ben Klock, and of those inimitable Frenchmen dOP.
PS: Did I mention my fiancée died? I escaped as her last words were “start a childrens charity in my honour”.

I confess too I hardly ever download the RA podcast unless I like the look of it on paper.
Its funny you should say this as just the other night i watched a programme on 4 called the 9/11 faker… (does exactly what it says on the tin) except its through someones warped mind.
I agree that it was a really excellent mix & easily my favourite RA of the year. It makes me want to go to Berlin (panorama bar) even more than I did before.

Loved that track that went “this time….”
Great mix overall -heard her at PB once - was doing a little b2b with Cassy and them were really really tight. Remember them dropping the Sydenham remix of Steppenwolf ; what a moment….!

I agree with Jacob. The Mole and Appleblim podcasts were special. Two of very few that still grace my hard drive. Only other survivor this year has been Stott & Claro. Although I am enjoying Greg Wilson.

the initial hour of the todd terje one is superb but really drops off towards the end.
i wasn’t wild about the appleblim one despite being very into that sound.

Loved the Steffi podcast. Also think the last one I liked could have been the Sascha Dive one. Was that before or after Mara Trax? A few friends raved about the Patrice Baumel one but wasn’t really feeling it.

Totally offtopic: Before my visit to Berghain/Panoramabar I was a bit sceptic about the hype (…) but now that I’ve been there I can say it is totally justified. Don’t know who were playing, but there was a female dj - my guess it was Steffi - and a bearded guy - must have been Prosumer right? - what a place, friendly people (well those bouncers aside) anmd the best soundsystem I’ve ever heard. Wish I could go back..
