Founded in NYC, RAPRAVE seeks to unify international sounds and dancefloors. 

Since the inception of both hip-hop and electronic music, crossovers between the two have produced countless subgenres (ghettotech, juke, hip-house, dnb, trip-hop, grime - to name a few). As these sounds blossomed, so did their communities, growing more substantial but more distinct. RAPRAVE seeks to bring it back to the start - to celebrate the longstanding symbiosis of this encompassing universe - to rejoice in the entire repertoire, under one dedicated banner. 

As a connoisseur of these sounds, RAPRAVE continuously adds to its comprehensive sonic library - shedding light on deserving creators who are breaking unique ground. RAPRAVE builds its global community in the physical and digital space, providing an open and bilateral conduit for communication. Moving forward, RAPRAVE will solidify its foothold with artists and admirers alike as an incubator for a new ethos that outspans all barriers.

Join Steve Crowe and Mike Oitzman each week for discussions with leading roboticists, innovative robotics companies, and other key members of the robotics community.
