About
Resident Advisor (RA) is an online music magazine and community platform that was established in 2001. Our customers, passionate fans of electronic music, artists, and event-goers, often face the challenge of discovering new music, artists, and events in a vast and ever-evolving global scene. That's why RA was founded – out of a deep passion for electronic music and a desire to connect this global community. Our platform is dedicated to showcasing electronic music, artists, and events from all corners of the world, helping users navigate and explore the rich tapestry of the electronic music landscape. We understand that local scenes are the heartbeat of electronic music; it's where DJs get their first opportunities, promoters host their initial parties, and like-minded individuals forge connections, collaborations, and new creative ideas. These dance floors are incredible spaces that bring people together for shared moments of joy, inspiration, and often serve as safe havens. To address the needs of our community, RA provides a comprehensive ecosystem of content and services. At our core is an editorial platform featuring news, in-depth features, reviews of music and events, compelling films, and insightful podcasts. We work with a global network of writers and contributors who represent their local scenes with authenticity and nuance, capturing the voices, faces, and stories that define the past, present, and future of electronic music. Beyond content, RA Tickets is a dedicated ticketing platform built specifically for the electronic music community, serving promoters in numerous countries and connecting them with millions of engaged music lovers monthly. We also offer event discovery tools, club and promoter directories, and artist and record label profiles. Recognizing the importance of fostering talent and opportunity within the industry, we launched the Doors Open jobs platform, connecting individuals with companies and projects in the electronic music world. As a B Corp Certified company, we are committed to high standards of social and environmental impact, advocating for a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable electronic music community. Our core values emphasize that electronic music is art, and we celebrate its progressive values, honor its history, and use innovation to empower the community, always choosing honesty over gain and purpose over profit.
