NEGITIV returns with a powerful new release, teaming up with GRAVEDGR on RAKATA.
The track arrives as her first official release of 2026 and signals a strong start to the year.
She builds on momentum gained since her breakout in 2024, where she attracted millions of streams and a growing global audience.
This collaboration also marks a reunion with GRAVEDGR following their 2025 EP, showing a continued creative synergy between the two artists.
From the first drop, RAKATA delivers peak-time intensity.
The track blends both artists’ styles into a fast-paced and club-focused production.
Driving percussion, distorted elements, and relentless energy push the track forward.
As it unfolds, NEGITIV’s precise and controlled approach meets GRAVEDGR’s raw and aggressive sound, creating a balance between structure and chaos.
The single lands on MUTATE Records, a new imprint launched by Insomniac in early 2026.
The label grew out of the MUTATE event series and focuses on harder and faster electronic styles, including hard techno, acid, and fast-rave hybrids.
It also supports an artist-first model, allowing producers to keep ownership of their work while releasing uncompromising club music.
