Bleep

RAVE:N, The Remixes amplifies the cathartic rave energies of Kelela’s long awaited second album Raven, and further celebrates dance music’s Black queer origins with a star studded lineup: Bbymutha sets fire to Agazero’s frosty, idyllic pianos, Shygirl switches from smoky raps to silky song, TYGAPAW storms in with invigorating, hardcore techno pummels. Kelela provides a new verse on SUCIA!’s ‘Bruises’ remix, stepping it up with coursing jungle eruptions, meanwhile LEECH’s ‘Ambient Queen Remix’ shreds overdriven bass underneath ballroom style chants, and Loraine James heightens the emotionality of ‘Divorce’ with her signature glitchy production. Simply put, no one does a remix album like Kelela.
