AXMO x KEVU – Ravergy

88%%Overall Score

• Highly awaited ID
• Strongly supported by W&W
• Unexpected Big Room synergy

Lately, Rave Culture has expanded in the market and made remarkable progress with top-notch releases. This year, we have already seen multiple collaborations, namely Sandro Silva, Wiwek, and finally the launch of the darker and dystopian-mooded sub-label made by W&W in their NWYR outfit, called “Lone Ranger”.

But today, both reputed acts from the roster, AXMO and KEVU, revealed “Ravergy” which was rotated heavily during the end of 2021. The first world premiere came from the label-bosses themselves during the AME, followed by KEVU’s liveset for Revealed recordings. This was an outcome that was heavily teased by AXMO in their socials, a pair climbing steadily in the scene. Sharing a residence with the other half at the newly built studio over in Portugal, the synergy came to fruition and hence was heavily expected by the fans.

AXMO released over eleven songs the previous year, dabbling creatively with high-octane styles such as Big Room, Trance, Future Rave and more. The Portuguese alias, on the other hand, made team efforts recently with another established Germany-based dyad, Jaxx & Vega for “Raver Zone” followed by “Mystery” alongside SixCap, which received a mashup treatment from W&W with “Blue (Da Ba Dee) at UNTOLD Festival 2019.

Getting into technicalities, “Ravergy” gets into 128-130 BPM of pacing, containing two gigantic drops, lasting over 4 mins. The first one is layered with a kick analogous to the one used in “Big Room Never Dies”. The pre-drop vocal fill heightens the insanity and ruckus by wishing raves are back during these dire times, an energetic shout that pops right with the intensity needed. In the following one, AXMO takes over the stage with their instantly recognizable “Tranceroom” kick-drums, adding their own twists.

“Ravergy”, in my opinion, is just the start of a massive year that is awaiting for RC. Both AXMO and KEVU did fantastic jobs in this get-together, hoping the two mix and match with other talented names on the mentioned label for more striking results!
