Rissa Garcia Live at Forest Rave: Draaimolen Fest 2022

Live Recording from the Forest Rave at Draaimolen Festival 2022 Hosted by: Eris Drew & Octo Octa

“Given Eris Drew and Octo Octa's Midwest rave background and the fact that they live together in rural New Hampshire, there was something very personal and special about their curated stage, Forestrave. A small cabin dwarfed by a giant sound system (with no less than 40 subs), it featured a lineup of close friends and contemporaries and offered a window into the T4T LUV NRG world. Drew and Octo Octa both played back-to-backs across the weekend–the former with stateside rave veteran Mystic Bill and the latter with edit queen Bored Lord–and Forestrave provided a constant source of joy for fluorescent, anorak-clad ravers and high fashion voguers alike. The best set on this stage was arguably New York's Rissa Garcia. The Dancing Room Only resident provided a lesson in the body-rocking house associated with her hometown, opting for plenty of classic cuts alongside fresh heat like Antony Hot's "Colours."- Resident Advisor

DJ Times Review: Rissa Garcia-Wanna Feel Loved EP

WannaFeelLoved_RissaGarcia_FacebookBanner.jpg

“A sweet three pack EP here from Garcia, a New York house mainstay. I Wanna Feel kicks a hip-swaying, tribal tinged groove -perfect for a dark dancefloor. “Tryna Prove” rides a tough rhythm until a combo of sweet key stabs and scat singing delivers a catchy melody. “Outta Love” thumps and builds with a purpose - a real call to the dancefloor - then drops intoxicating vocal samples for hand-raising effect. If you want a taste of modern deep house sounds, here’s the real thing."
