🎧 S0VA – Live Set @ Rave FM Audio Festival 🎧 From deep inside Warsaw’s rave underbelly, 25-year-old DJ/producer S0VA drops a high-octane mix of fidget house & electro heat. Repping the legendary Club Corrado, this ain’t your average set — it’s a full-throttle ride with nasty grooves, cheeky basslines & zero brakes.

🎧 S0VA – Live Set @ Rave FM Audio Festival 🎧 Straight outta Warsaw’s rave underworld, 25-year-old DJ/producer S0VA delivers a fidget house masterclass — bouncy, twisted, and built to wreck the floor. Reppin’ the legendary Club Corrado, this isn’t just a set — it’s a jacked-up, bass-wobbling joyride packed with skippy rhythms, naughty drops, and pure electro mischief.

R.I.P. Robbie Shakespeare (of 'Sly & Robbie' aka The Taxi Gang aka Riddim Twins fame)! Over the last two decades, I've reviewed, covered n' played tons of their/his productions. Legends never die, their music just lives on forever and i-ver! 🌴🎶🎸💯
