Resident Advisor also provides global event listings and ticket sales platform, club and promoter directories, artist and record label profiles, and the RA Podcast.

[2] Resident Advisor was founded in Sydney, Australia in 2001 by Paul Clement and Nick Sabine as a website for providing news and information relating to the Australian dance music scene.

[4] In January 2014, the first complete redesign in the site's history was announced, adding mobile support, responsive design, a new logo, full SoundCloud integration on artist pages and other features.

The RA Guide, free in the App Store (iOS), takes the site's listings for clubs, festivals and concerts to the mobile market.

The site defines the RA Exchange as a series of conversations with artists (e.g., Guy Gerber, Morgan Geist, and New Order), labels (e.g., Defected Records, Future Classic, and Rush Hour), and promoters (e.g., Decibel, MUTEK, and Sónar) shaping the electronic music landscape.

[9] Resident Advisor launched RA Films in 2011, starting with a documentary series called Real Scenes that covered music culture in Bristol, Berlin and Detroit.
