São Paulo Funk: An Introduction - DJ Wizard 070424

mobilegirl is a DJ and producer based in Berlin. Her style behind the booth focuses on creating a highly energetic dance floor that allows for emotionality, for softer moments but also attention-demanding breaks and shifts. An equally fun and challenging combination that gained her traction very early on in her career and established her as an artist to watch in experimental club music – bringing about tours across Europe, East Asia and North America and a spot on the roster of DISCWOMAN. 
Reflecting her general curiosity mobilegirl's inspirations draw from a broad pool that intentionally make her rather difficult to categorise. However, she has made a name for herself through club edits of R&B classics; a predilection for which draws through all of her work. Another influence, not less apparent, are video game scores. Her fascination with the repetitive and soothing effect of music in RPGs accordingly set the foundation for her debut EP "Poise" released in 2017 - a string of tracks that at that time seemed untypically mellow but were created in an effort to decelerate and invite the listener to do the same. This project turned mobilegirl's inspiration into praxis. It opened up the doors for her to shift her focus towards scores of films, art installations and fashion shows the years after, while remaining a force on the dance floor. 

"The entire mix is a nest for POiSON GiRL FRiEND - Hardly Ever Smile (Without You) to sit right in the middle."

Para esta edición invitamos al dj y promotor de @plasmodiacol, Ritornelo. Miembro activo de la escena cachaca, digger dedicado del bass, y un estudioso empedernido de todo lo electrónico, es un gusto abrirle campo en nuestra serie para una hora de las cerezas de su colección.

𝐑𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐨 (@delritornelo)

Esta hora de mezcla es una amalgama entre tech-house, breakbeat, bass y garage en la que experimento diferentes estados de energía dentro de un rango corto de BPM (135-140). Seleccioné tracks con matices de introspección que se reflejan principalmente en las oscilaciones de bajos y las múltiples capas de percusiones, texturas y samples vocales con ecos y reverberaciones. Una oda al dub, la cultura soundsystem y un guiño a la herencia que nos ha brindado en la música electrónica.

Ritornelo - Crisálida

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.
