RAPRAVE SEASON0NE
One of the collective’s initiatives includes collaborations – one being with USB Club. This retro-futurist network highlights the importance of the USB for all types of artists. RAPRAVE’s other collaborations consist of Eternal, a ticketing and event platform, and Evenings.fm to increase audio broadcasting and recording accessibility.
“SEASON0NE is the first official season of RAPRAVE,” the collective says. “Everything before this has laid down the foundation for what we are building on top of now. This is the beginning of our lore. RAPRAVE is dedicated to restoring a feeling that’s been there before rooted in music education and rave nostalgia.”
The way physical and digital spaces interact and communicate is a priority for RAPRAVE. Their ability to explore what people want both online and offline helps them achieve the best events for the people. There isn’t much overthought into who DJs and performs at their events. They don’t book the most popular artists – they instead book those who are making an impact in the music community.
“Our seasons are defined by our creative inspirations during that period,” RAPRAVE says. “There’s no set timeline for how long that feeling can last – capture a vibe and ride with it.”
RAPRAVE has previously collaborated with artists including HiTech, X-Coast, UNIIQU3, and more. Their previous events include DARK [RR]OOM Los Angeles, SEASON0 NYC, Brooklyn, and Belgrade.
They have another event series called CONCIERGE featuring Jubilee, Tlim Shug, HiTech, gum.mp3, EDEN, Martyn Bootyspoon, and more. RAPRAVE’s partnership with USB Club gave each CONCIERGE event a file-sharing station for secure and high-quality music files.
“(We want) to continue expanding the RAPRAVE universe and people’s understanding of the corners and contexts that this world touches,” they say. “It overlaps between generations of artists, regions of sounds, and even types of mediums.”
