I have never stepped foot inside an ikea, but I have long held the belief that Swedes are doing everything better than everyone else. Felix and Jo, aka indie dance duo RABBII (Revolutions Are Best Before Initial Inception), are just more fodder to this bullet-proof claim.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: didn’t you brain geniuses already “discover” this band last year with your New Artist Find system and call for them to come stateside?
Yes, yes we did.
And “I don’t like to mix my chocolate music mixing with the messy peanut butter of politics. All this talk of a revolution that isn’t Dance Dance based has me nervous.” To which I say, the revolution is upon us and zero day is fast approaching. Pick a side before the guillotine is chosen for ya.
So yeah we’re talking about RABBII again cause they own. When I initially heard “Majestic (Dave Aude Remix)” I thought the Grimes-PC Music collab that seems predestined had finally occurred. But no, it was just a couple of highly talented people working together to create this wonderfully manic jam to power you through the work week.

Speaking of revolutions, this song has stormed the castle of my heart and completed a coup. On top of that, RABBII has already outlined political ideas I can get behind. WHAT A PLATFORM! Y’all can have the cacophony of bullshit that is Western politics. This is the only person I’m taking directions from anymore.
“Revolution is liberty. Revolution is strife. Revolution is bliss. Revolution is blood.” YASS QUEEN. PREACH! PREACH! Big ups to the Grammy-winning and strong-hold hair product enthusiast David Aude for his kickass remix of this song.
Aude works around the edges here, keeping the song’s core intact while adding a glossy shine of cyberpunk and manic electro energy. Check out the original below for a full comparison.
Original Version
Felix and Jo come from wildly different backgrounds, the former from academia while the latter moved to Stockholm as a teenager to become an artist. What they do share is a distinct vision rooted in emotion, intensity, and a desire for a realized unattainable ideality. Hence the revolutionary talk. This cohesiveness shows through on their music, which, I don’t think I am alone in saying, we need a lot more of.
