Oh what a surprise, it’s Drewsky for this tape
He kicked out the DJs, to honor his babe
We celebrate Rekha, our Rapture Queen
Always wanting better, chasing her own dreams
These are made of justice, and real social rights
From NY to Kerala, fighting days and nights
That shows in her music, eclectic and fun,
She loves a good vocal, dancing to the sun.

This week we have a SURPRISE Rapture Radio episode to honor Rapture Queen and Birthday babe Rekha Philip. The biggest cheerleader for her community, Rekha is known to be strong, compassionate, and honest (and fucking hot, thanks Drew!). This week’s very special episode - presented by none other than her all time favorite DJ, husband and Rapture King Drew Proud - honors her taste in music, with eclectic vibes that’ll feel groovy and fun. 

Happy birthday Rekha!!! This will be your best one yet.

Kicking off the first Monday in June we have a special guest from Tommy Kinetic. Originally from La Paz, Bolivia 🇧🇴 currently residing in Washington DC 🇺🇸, Tommy has curated a special set for this months podcast. Tommy was inspired by electronic music during his time in Bolivia, he was inspired by the music of Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and others in the progressive house scene. 

From the artists:

“Growing up in Bolivia, I fell in love with Hernan’s music and was really intrenched in the progressive house scene. When I decided to become an artists myself, I realized how much amazing music was out there that I was not privy too. From downtempo to hard techno, there’s so much amazing music. When I became an artists with my first project as Tumbocats and I grew my music library and started digging for tracks, I realized that my taste was changing. We started DJing parties during 2020 when clubs were shut down. Eventually, (COVID-permitting), we were invited to open for a few big acts, such as Amine K and Facundo Mohrr. 

In between shows, they would hold a weekly radio stream on an online streaming platform called Blast Radio. However, as time grew and our tastes changed, Tumbocats project is coming to an end and we are each going our separate ways musically. Mari is more of a downtempo and chill type of DJ and I am more of a high-energy club type of DJ.”

This mix is fun-loving, punchy, beautiful with harmonics & melodics. Every track is engaging and has a seamless flow from one track to the next. We are excited to have Tommy Kinetic on this months episode of Inara 🌅

Inara - "to bring light into darkness".

The name feels apt as the last few months have been such an emotional rollercoaster, with both darkness and light. One of the "lights" has been the amazing people around me and the music we have shared together.

This set was born from the inaugural event named Inara hosted on the Rapture Twitch channel. I can say it was an absolute pleasure to play alongside Gregory, Shaman, and Bulla. I got to close out the virtual event with possibly one of my favorites sets in recent memory.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed playing it.

Cheers <3

Inara Premiere - Drew Proud

From the founder DJ Shaman "Inara means; “heaven sent” or “Ray of light” in Arabic. This symbolizes the feelings I believe we all feel when we listened to house & techno for the first time; either at an event or when finding new music to listen to.

This is what Inara is all about - really digging deep into those feelings and spreading the love and joy that comes along with the music and the expansion of a community to bring people together."

For this one we decided to go deep and embrace the solitude of sound to build upon layers of noise to raise Inara into a new level.
