Three hours of high-intensity heaters from the trio lighting up US club music.
"If the baby boomer generation had the three from Belleville, millennials can say…we have Black Rave Culture." Lofty praise from Spain's WOS Festival, and yet the undeniable buzz surrounding the Washington, D.C. trio of Amal, James Bangura and Nativesun makes it feel merited.
The Black Rave Culture experience is a physical experience from start to finish. The trio's glide through the rich canon of Black dance music is, naturally, a huge chunk of the appeal: gqom, juke, techno, ghettotech, the odd Midwest classic and future-forward club jams all have a home. Their productions mine a similar store of genre-splicing energy, and you'll find plenty of those on RA.974 too. Perhaps most importantly, their tangible chemistry and enthusiasm makes this group magnetic.
RA.974 is an exhilarating journey through creating serious dance floor pressure and having a ball in the process.
