Hey everyone, I'm wanting to write as a new raver in Atlanta. I'm curious to get to meet more people in the rave scene as I grew up in Atlanta didn't know about raving, went to college in Virginia where I fell in love with it, and now I am back looking to get into the Atlanta rave scene. For reference I am a 23 year old man.

Where’s the album? Bladee can’t be the second father figure to walk out on me in my life. Please tell me it’ll all be ok 🙏🙏🙏

Hey everyone,

I just graduated from college and I’m back home. I was wondering if I could join someone’s rave group. I’m Asian (Desi) and honestly would like to be around other Asians both Desi and not Desi. This isn’t to dog on other people or say I’m not open to Africans/Caribbeans, Black Americans, or what have you just that I want some cultural affinity as I feel like that’s something I’ve been missing and it would be fun to have that.

I’m a 23 year old man for reference, if you’re interested feel free to DM me as I’d love to get to meet some people. Yes I can look on Radiate, but honest to God I like Reddit more because I can be anonymous to some degree. 😭😭😭

Hello everyone,

I’ve been wanting to get into Carnatic music for a long time now. I am a Telugu American who is having experience and training in Western Classical music and Jazz. I’m looking to make a foray into Carnatic Music and I was wondering if there are some other people who are in my position who would like to work together to learn theory together. I’ve been having trouble understanding Thāla specifically how to count it with the hands as my experience with western classical music makes the counting of rhythm less in depth. As such I was hoping I could get a description of what Nadaka and Jaati are and how they relate to Thāla. This far, my working theory has been to think of Nadaka as the number of beats per measure with Jaati setting the base count of the laghu (my assumption is that because laghu is variable, you can mess around with different laghu counts within a single Thāla to create more complex rhythms and all). I’ve also transcribed the Jaati syllables into notes so I have an idea of what is being subdivided but I still find it hard to apply this transcription to Carnatic music when I’m counting. All of this to say, Thāla is really confusing and I’d really like someone my age who I can bang my head against a wall with for a few days to understand how Thāla is supposed to work.

Demographically, I am a 23 year old man and I am going to be graduating from university tomorrow. I’m open to anyone from anywhere in the world, just be around my age, have western classical music and jazz experience, and yeah we should be good.
