The intersection of skate culture and electronic music, particularly the club and rave scene, has been gaining traction, yet it remains a somewhat niche preference within the broader skateboarding community. While rock and hip-hop have long been the soundtrack to skate videos, we’re now seeing a shift towards electronic music, largely due to brands like Palace and Yardsale. Following in the footsteps of these UK brands is London-based skater Savannah Stacey Keenan, who has curated a mix of trance and rave tracks for skaters looking to elevate their skate sessions. This mix departs from the usual hard rock and classic hip-hop, offering a different vibe for those who appreciate electronic beats.
Savannah’s skating, showcased in Beyond the 3rd Wave, alongside her impressive laser flips, and a music taste reminiscent of Palace’s Paramount or Palasonic videos, make her a perfect fit for the team. This mix is a sonic embodiment of her style: energetic, innovative, and a little bit unconventional.
For the ultimate listening experience, we recommend playing this mix at maximum volume while aggressively flicking your lights on and off—at least until your landlord intervenes. This is not just music; it’s an invitation to create your own personal rave within your skate session.
