RAPRAVE with ShioriyBradshaw and Regis @ The Lot Radio 09-06-2024

Montenegrian experimental sound artist Relja Cupic, or Regis, composes and produces music using a blend of vocals and acoustic instruments, creating film scores and installations and performances for various environments, including art institutions, galleries, and more-commercial [music] venues.

His work has been inspired by soundsystem music culture, which is evidenced by his early association with Mystic Stylez, a Belgrade-based music collective, commenced in the 2010s, that revolutionized the bass driven dance music scene in Southeastern Europe. 

Regis, hailing from a small and relatively isolated Balkan nation, brings to the global music scene a sonic palette that is as diverse as it is distinct. The full-heartedness of his music is a result of his early influences, such as dirty south rap, afro house, slow jams, trance, turbofolk and krautrock, to name a few. A multimedia sound artist and composer, he has also achieved significant popularity as a contemporary hip-hop and R&B producer on his home turf. In both segments of his work, Regis explores the boundaries of what sound can be and how it interacts with other mediums, constantly pushing the limits and challenging conventions, blending the traditional with the new.

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.
