RAGGA NYC nestles’s at the nexus of genres and various sub-genres that have a shared lineage routing to rich histories while expanding the notion of what scenes can be in community with one another.
RNR blooms space for inclusive and loving kinetic energy through the disorientation of howling bass behind trippy beats while honoring the craft of carefully curated lineups.
Together the two merge to form: Kinetic Fusion. We fused the relentless pulse of techno and the vibrant, boundary-pushing sounds of the Caribbean and beyond! We have poured our hearts into this collaboration and it was beautiful.
