- A bittersweet winter rave anthem from RAPRAVE.
- Araya's "Echo" starts with a slow, slightly out-of-tune piano that recalls old-school lo-fi hip-hop loops, giving it shades of nostalgia and sentimentality. But that's quickly intercepted by Huna's NOLA bounce beat, taking us out of our melancholy and onto the dance floor. The bright, airy vocals mirror the desperation and resignation of longing, but also the sweetness of yearning. It's the perfect remix for winter, when a packed dance floor is one of the warmest places you can be. The mix of styles across this track—bounce, R&B, hyperpop—hint at the chameleonic nature of RAPRAVE itself. They're a collective that prides themselves on not only being a party promoter, having thrown events across New York, Los Angeles and Belgrade, but also on their core pillars of musical education and cross pollination. The collaborators who make up RAPRAVE span status, continents, and genres that may not ever be put on the same lineup otherwise, an approach exemplified by the two-pronged approach of this remix.
