Meduza Rave is an annual celebration marking the end of summer, where we come together to dance, have fun, and enjoy great music with amazing people. It’s not just a party - it’s a vibe, a place where everyone leaves their worries behind, connecting through beats that keep us moving all night long. 

This year, you can groove to my specially prepared funky, housy mix, crafted just for Meduza Rave. It’s filled with infectious beats and feel-good vibes, perfect for keeping the energy high as we celebrate life, music, and the thrill of summer’s final nights together on the dance floor!

Uiava - MeduzaRave - August 2024

This debut episode of 121/2 podcast is an intimate journey through sound and my memory. "Presence" is a deeply personal mix that opens the door to my most cherished memories of home, childhood, and the music that shaped me. This mix is a blend of who I was and who I am today, a love letter to the diverse sounds passed down through my family. It’s a moment of being fully present—grounded in body—while the mind and soul drift to other places. Expect deep, soulful, and trance-like vibes as you travel with me through time and emotion.

This is music that speaks of love, nostalgia, and transformation.

121/2 -  #1 Presence

The second episode of 121/2, titled "Gratitude", is a deep reflection on thankfulness—an ode to the world for its duality, for the kindness and harshness that shaped us. It's about appreciating the human experiences that have tested and strengthened us, and the natural world that brought us into being, constantly pushing us to seek rhythm, harmony, and balance. The music in this episode captures that essence—an interplay of light and shadow, drawing from the heart of nature and human resilience. Each track is a step in the journey of gratitude, a celebration of everything that has come before and all that is yet to be.

121/2 - #2 Gratitude

This episode is a reflection of my personal battle with overthinking. I attempted to record it more times than I can count, each time convincing myself that it wasn’t good enough. I would delete and start over, chasing something that felt just out of reach. Overthinking is my greatest struggle—always believing I could do better, say something better, or approach things differently. I exhaust myself replaying scenarios and talking to my shampoos in the shower, saying what I wish I had said.

This loop led me to the third part of my podcast. It’s a deep, introspective journey through sound, created in the midst of this endless cycle. I hope you’ll connect with this honest exploration of emotion and music.

121/2 - #3 Overthinking

@uiava is Eli Ravets' musical project, which combines deep bass, vintage grooves, and hypnotic melodies. Each of her sets is a thoughtful musical journey created with the belief that music can touch the deepest emotions and bring people together in the moment.

Originally from Donetsk, uiava settled in Warsaw in 2014, and her experience as a refugee became an important source of inspiration. She embodies these experiences in her musical experiments, including her podcast 121/2, where she describes the emotions of running away from home and finding a new life through sounds.

Eli's work was strongly influenced by jazz, funk, disco, early hip-hop, and the love for perfect sound instilled by her father, a hi-fi music systems engineer. Her approach to music is "depth, not speed" and this is felt in every mix.

Thank you for joining me for this opening Thursday set at Juicy Stage. The vibe was crazy! I served soft and gentle music, yet still bouncy, getting you ready for the whole night. Big shout-out to the Juicy crew, who supported me and made it happen, and to all the unstoppable dancers - you are the power!

As they say - better late than never 🙂 
Finally, three months after Audioriver Festival, we can share the recording of our set from the Jelen stage with you. It wasn’t easy - we ran into quite a few technical issues along the way - but we’re really happy it’s out at last! It was such a special experience for us, and we had a blast working together.
Huge thanks once again to everyone who supported us.
Give it a listen — maybe it’ll take you back to those warm July vibes 🙂
