RA.1027 JADALAREIGN

Two hours of groove, texture and Black excellence from new-school New York royalty. New York native Jada Lorraine has always represented Black excellence, but in recent years her vision crystallised. The in-demand act and former Nowadays booker has fine-tuned her creative practice, experimenting with tempo and selection in ways that have led to a deep, nuanced relationship with Black artistry, one that centres musical education through storytelling. Behind the decks, Lorraine is principled. They say wisdom brings sorrow, but RA.1027 suggests the opposite. It opens with a vocal sample whose message mirrors her wider creative practice: “I’m an African woman who believes in justice for all people. The priorities of this planet have to completely change.” From there, the mix ricochets through rumbly drums and sci-fi whirr, peppering house melodies with slo-mo bleeps and techy steppers. She moves across club genres with fluid ease, keeping the cadence loose-limbed yet dynamic throughout. It’s strange and tactile—and it sounds like freedom. Lorraine seems surer than ever about all aspects of her career, and it shows in her RA Mix. If you see her at the function, her joy for her work is ever bountiful. For US Black History Month, it’s a timely reminder that history isn’t only something we look back on; Lorraine is making it, live. Find the tracklist at ra.co/podcast/1046
