Erotika Dabra is an innovative and pioneering artist, bringing to life notions of subversion and sensuality with mind-bending, eye-opening tracks and live performances to provoke and enlighten. We featured Erotika Dabra for the cerebral invite to connect with our inner sex magick, EAT ME/DRINK ME, as well as the collaboration with Lioness, taking us on a psychedelic trip with the Erotika Rerub of My Own Magic.

The star is now back with a scorching reinterpretation of their fan‑favourite track G/Rave Girl – this time, “dragged through the dirt, drenched in distortion, and reborn as a grungy 160 BPM rave weapon.” Needless to say, we couldn’t wait to immerse ourselves in Erotika’s universe once more.

Opening with cerebral, syncopated percussion and a panning, gated synth, the Erotika Rerub of G/Rave Girl taps into a spacey art-house energy with drama and cinematic intrigue. A spoken word intro entrances us with echoed vocal production and poetic prowess.

“This girl wants to rave…” shares Erotika as they paint a picture of a protagonist constructed of relatable energy. “I wanted to take G/Rave Girl back to the warehouse, back to the sweat, the noise, the rawness that makes people fall in love with rave culture…”, confesses Erotika Dabra. “This version is messy, loud, and alive. It’s the track’s feral twin.”

There is no doubt that G/Rave Girl is perfect for an A24 film, or a scene from Euphoria on HBO, or perhaps even something darker, like a Blumhouse production. We deeply connect with the experimental design of the track and the picture that Erotika Dabra creates.

The new version is intentionally designed to evolve the bright, glowing energy of the original and turn it into something darker and heavier. Deep bass, intense drums, and a fierce hardcore rhythm come together. This manifests a track that still carries the same message, but feels bold and powerful in a whole new frequency. It is meant to celebrate the magic inside all of us, the kind that wakes up at midnight during a spooky skeleton rave.

Needless to say, we continue to be in awe of Erotika Dabra‘s work and have added the Erotika Rerub of G/Rave Girl to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream Erotika Dabra‘s wider discography, including the original version of the song, and Sparkles.
