Bogdan Raczynski Clears His Braindance Cache on Rave ‘Till You Cry Compilation

Disciples has revealed its plans for a Bogdan Raczynski compilation featuring previously unreleased material from the late ’90s onward. Due out April 5th, Rave ‘Till You Cry arrives more than a decade after the producer’s last heady LP of braindance hooks—2007’s Alright—but it couldn’t have come at a better time. If you’re anything like us, its skittish rhythms and restless breaks are gonna trigger an instant nostalgia trip back to the good ol’ days of IDM, Rephlex Records, and drill ‘n’ bass.

Or as Raczynski puts it, “I do remember gigs and alcohol and going absolutely fucking mental on the energy steaming off of the dancefloor. It never got old. My existence was like some kind of extended out of body experience. To this day when the trifecta of early morning, cold blast of air as you exit the venue, and smoke enter my senses I temporarily exit, like rave PTSD.”

Check out an exclusive track below, along with some more thoughts straight from the source….

Gather up all your friends and family. Unravel that dusty, black and white speckled Mead notebook filled front to back with your teenage poetry. You know the one, oozing with angst, self-loathing, and newly pubescent self-pity. Next, serenade them with an hour of said material. That approximates what it’s like to listen to yourself from 20 years ago.

There’s enough distance between then and now that I feel like I’m one of those friends, cringing in my seat.

The energy is the point. How much have I held onto? How much has dissipated?

Songs are a fossil.
