SLOWTECHERS 3

A mix beamed in from the future by singeli's young star.

If singeli has a new era, DJ Travella is its leading light. At just 23 years old, the Tanzanian producer is pushing the genre into fast, frenetic and unmistakably futuristic territory. And while there aren't too many entries in the RA Podcast's 20-year history where you can say, "this has no parallel whatsoever," RA.984 shatters that assumption in style.

Singeli emerged from Dar es Salaam's underground in the early '00s, forged from limited resources and unlimited creativity. Producers looped and sped up taarab instrumentals using basic software like Virtual DJ, creating a sound that was chaotic, witty and lightning fast. With support from local studios like Sisso and Pamoja, singeli took root as the breakneck pulse of Tanzanian youth culture.

Travella—real name Hamadi Hassani—came up outside that infrastructure. He began producing music aged ten, self-taught and internet-savvy. By 2022, he was touring Europe with Kampala-based collective Nyege Nyege and gaining global attention for a distinct style he's dubbed "cyber-singeli." 

Like gabber, hardcore and jungle before it, singeli is unapologetically go hard or go home. It's unique and utterly infectious. After all, what could possibly connect pop provocateur Arca to the late president of Tanzania? Not much—except singeli. 

Travella's RA Podcast is a white-knuckle ride through this blistering sonic universe. It's wild and joyful yet controlled—a window into one of the most exciting young minds in global club music.

re:lax w/ STATE OFFF 270425

A teenage prodigy from Dar es Salaam, DJ Travella is redefining African electronic music with his futuristic take on Singeli — a breakneck Tanzanian genre known for its frantic tempos and raw, unfiltered energy. Blending hyperspeed rhythms with glitchy, otherworldly melodies, his sound has caught the ears of avant-garde icons like Arca and Björk. With a cult following rising fast, he’s taken Singeli from the streets of Dar to the global stage, lighting up clubs and festivals from Berlin to Jakarta, São Paulo to New York.

Title - I dug a hole so deep in my backyard that i found a dead little boy

The culmination of almost 2 years of digging, reflecting, and embracing loss and love. Learning what it looks like, feels like, tastes like and smells like. Still is a jumbled idea in my head but sometimes i feel i can touch it, poke it, and squeeze it. Split in 2 parts this mix is very much a visual experience as much as it is an audio experience. Many songs feel like memories and moments in my life as i hope it does with you. Everything grounded in green, i hope to be born again.

CDMX TAPES w/ VITALINE & ENTRAÑAS 180725

DerteeDisco steps into the shadows with a weighty cut that merges swung garage percussion, warped low-end pressure, and chopped vocal fragments into a stripped-back weapon. Let Go of Me captures the tension and drive of classic UKG while leaning into the darker edge of bassline. Out today, this one is built for dim rooms, late hours, and sound systems that know what they're doing.
