Everyone misses their personal form of contact release and Elkka explores this common-factor-melancholy deeper by collaborating with dancer and model Dak for the ‘I. Miss. Raving.’ video.

Quote from the press release: ‘Dak uses the neon-lit visual accompaniment as an opportunity to explore the intersection of his Zimbabwean identity and his queerness through raving. “It stemmed from the idea of what it means to be a queer, gay, black Zimbabwean,” he explains. “Having a sense of identity or looking for it, and about self-discovery and navigating my way through different situations.”’

“I have met many different people from different lives and that’s the beauty I always see in raving/party situations,” Dak continues, “finding my own queer family in which I am able to express myself in a safe, open minded, forward thinking and welcoming environment.”

The beat is perfect for corporeal release and the breakdown makes you catch your breath and let the deeper seated feels well up before throwing yourself back in.
