NEGITIV and GRAVEDGR Unleash 'RAKATA': A High-Octane Debut on MUTATE Records
Since emerging in 2024, Cologne-based phenom NEGITIV has rapidly become one of the most exciting voices in hard techno. Today, she makes a bold statement with her first release of 2026, 'RAKATA', a high-intensity collaboration with American hard dance artist GRAVEDGR, landing via Insomniac’s newly launched imprint, MUTATE Records.
Built for maximum peak-time impact, 'RAKATA' merges NEGITIV’s signature precision and industrial-leaning aggression with GRAVEDGR’s raw, hard-hitting energy. Driven by relentless percussion and distorted textures, the track pushes both artists into more extreme sonic territory while maintaining a razor-sharp focus. It’s a perfect fit for MUTATE, a label that positions itself at the forefront of the faster, harder electronic movement alongside artists like Charlie Sparks and AZYR.
The release of 'RAKATA' coincides with a pivotal moment in NEGITIV’s (Negin Paknia) career as she continues her global 'Me & My Demons' Tour. With standout performances already checked off at the Verknipt Ziggo Dome and across Asia, her upcoming schedule includes landmark stops at Terminal V Festival and Riccione’s legendary Cocoricò. 'RAKATA' captures this international momentum in its purest form: uncompromising, direct, and engineered for the most demanding dancefloors in the world.
