Bogdan Raczynski - Rave ‘Till You Cry (2019)

Breakcore hero/weirdo Bogdan Raczynski coughs up his first LP in over a decade with ‘Rave Til You Cry’ for Disciples, following their two Black Lodge releases.

Back in the late ‘90s and early ‘00s, Bogdan was a staple of the drill ’n bass scene, one a number of artists using tracker software to make the fastest, wildest breakbeats after D&B peaked and went pure neuro 2-step. He was also, and presumably still is, very fucking tall.

Many years later, he’s hardly changed, as ‘Rave ’Til You Cry’ catches him in gymnastic form across 18 tracks of kinetic rhythms and strange electronic atmospheres comparable with a fusion of Aleksi Perälä’s odd tunings and Christoph De Babylon’s brittle jungle styles.
