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.

Crystallmess transmits from Houston, where echoes of the GO SLOW, Eldorado Ballroom night curated by Solange Knowles still pulse through chopped and screwed rhythms, refracted through a Black diasporic lens. This live set traces a lineage of resistance and reinvention, folding Southern hip-hop textures into a dreamscape of memory and future. Infused with West African influences — a nod to Texas’s vibrant West African immigrant communities, the largest in the US. Expect DJ Slim K, Mike Jones, Point Blank, DJ Screw and Screwed Up Click mixed with 80’s Nigerian funk, Gqom and more.

ビックなテックの 箱庭
仮初めの夢を 見続ける
電子の海を さまよえば
死ぬまで夢に 沈むだけ
削り取られた 視野の中
必死に自分 探している
そんな姿を 嘲笑い
自分も何か 探している

オレは仏なんかじゃねえ  
欲望なんか捨てられねえ  
悟りの影を睨みつけ
煩悩のままに叫び出す  

※1
グッバイ！末法！ホー法華経！
面倒くさいから全部捨てたい！
グッバイ！末法！ホー法華経！
されど捨てれば人間終わり！

末法の世に 生まれ落ち
電子の画餅に 垂涎し
不邪淫戒に あこがれて
六道輪廻を 練り歩く
色即是空を 唱えつつ
色欲無間に 衆合し
阿鼻叫喚の 地獄オフ
業の炎で フロア沸かせ！

オマエは仏なんかじゃねえ  
欲望なんか捨てられねえ  
涅槃を極め解脱すも  
気づけば回る輪廻の車

※2
グッバイ！末法！ホー法華経！
届かぬ浄土に見切りつけ
グッバイ！末法！ホー法華経！
地獄でさえずれホー法華経！

バケガクレンサのハテのハテ
電気の連鎖で 輝く眼
量子の波に 身を委ね
魔境で戯れ 踊りゃんせ！

※1
※2

この欲望が
全部消えたら
それが寿命さ
卒業グッバイ！
ホー法華経！

グッバイ！末法！ホー法華経！
