History

Rave Radio's members, Brett Allen and James Todman, were both studying music at SAE Institute, Gold Coast, when they met.[1] The duo started playing electronic dance music (EDM) together in 2008,[2] and explained their band name, "its a bit deceiving isn't it! We don't play rave music and we're not a radio station haha. We were young and thought it sounded cool and catchy. We stuck with it so have given the name its own identity."[1]

In mid-2010 they provided a remix for Bombs Away's "Big Booty Bitches", which reached No. 23 on the ARIA Club Tracks.[3] Their charting remixes for 2011 are, Stanton Warriors' "Get Up" (April) at No. 5,[4] "Get It Hot" (July) by Rave Radio vs Jolyon Petch featuring I.T. at No. 31,[5] and Bombs Away's "Super Soaker" (October) at No. 10.[6]

Rave Radio issued a single, "Make It Rain" featuring Xamplify, via Central Station Records/Universal Music Australia in May 2012, which was co-written by Allen and Todman with Kwabena Agyei.[7] It peaked at No. 22 on the ARIA Club Tracks.[8] They followed in September with "Botanical", which reached No. 37;[9] and then "Shake Dat" (November 2012), which made No. 17.[10]

During 2013 they issued "One Mind One Heart" (February) as a single, and then provided a remix version of "Hello" by Stafford Brothers featuring Lil Wayne and Christina Milian, which reached No. 1 on the ARIA Club Tracks.[11] In October of that year they issued another single, "Feel the Love", working with Chris Willis, which reached No. 13 on the Club Tracks.[12] It was co-written by Allen, Todman, Willis and Ronald Haryanto; a version was remixed by Nick Skitz.[13] For the inthemix awards of 2013, Rave Radio was listed at No. 16 in the National Top 50 DJs,[14] while in 2015 they were No. 46 for the People's Choice.[15]

In early 2014 they signed with the Ones to Watch Records for international releases and, together with Central Station Records/Universal Music Australia for local product, they provided "Rumble" in July.[16] Another single, "Mugatu" (November), was issued by Rave Radio and Zoolanda (Michael Zuidland), which reached No. 6 on the Club Tracks.[17] During that year the EDM duo toured the United States and Brazil.[18]

They released a song in 2018 "Make it Better" with Vicious recordings Label and FT. GO COMET! Collaborated with Rave Radio
