R.ava’s brother introduced her to DnB at a very young age. She spread her wings as soon as she could fly, going to many events and festivals, discovering the tunes and culture surrounding this broad spectrum of music. Quickly developing a knack for deejaying, she has been featured on the line ups of Concrete Drum X Bass, Footloose, What-U-On-About?! and other local DnB events, sometimes back to back with her brother.
R.ava usually plays lyrical and melodic drum & bass, sometimes accompanied by more industrial and deeper sounds, adding a few golden classics in the mix. She loves going to events and festivals as long as she can dance to drum & bass.
————————————————
R.ava a découvert la DnB dès son plus jeune âge grâce à son frère. Elle a rapidement pris son envol, se rendant à de nombreux événements et festivals, découvrant les mélodies et la culture entourant ce large spectre musical. Développant sans tarder ses talents de deejaying, elle s’est vite retrouvée sur les line ups de Concrete Drum X Bass, Footloose, What-U-On-About?! et d’autres événements DnB locaux, parfois en back to back avec son frère.
R.ava joue habituellement de la drum & bass lyrique et mélodique, parfois accompagnée de sons industriels et profonds, ajoutant quelques grands classiques dans ses mixs. Elle adore se rendre aux événements et festivals, tant qu’elle peut danser sur de la drum & bass.
————————————————
R.ava’s broer heeft haar heel jong DnB laten ontdekken. Ze sloeg haar vleugels uit zodra ze kon vliegen, bezocht vele evenementen en festivals en ontdekte de tunes en cultuur rondom dit brede muziekspectrum. Ze ontwikkelde snel een talent voor deejaying en vond zich vlug op de line ups van Concrete Drum X Bass, Footloose, What-U-On-About?! en andere lokale DnB-evenementen, en ook af en toe back to back met haar broer.
R.ava draait meestal lyrische en melodieuze drum & bass, soms gepaard met meer industriële en diepere geluiden, en voegt een paar gouden klassiekers toe in de mix. Ze gaat graag naar evenementen en festivals zolang ze op drum & bass kan dansen. ————————————————
