Fusing acid rave intensity, trap rhythms, and dubstep textures, the track pushes her sound into bold new territory while staying true to the energy and ethos that have defined her rise in electronic music.

A Rising Force in Bass Music

Nicole Barton, better known as Zen Selekta, has quickly become one of the most exciting names in bass music. Hailing from Atlanta, she brings a unique creative vision to the scene: a blend of spirituality, self-discovery, and heavy-hitting dancefloor power.

With a packed 2026 already on the horizon, she’s showing no signs of slowing down.

The Inspiration Behind World of the Rave

Zen Selekta describes “World of the Rave” as a deeply personal project that ties back to her roots in rave culture:

“World of the Rave” is my ode to the rave scene that raised me. Like many in our community, I started raving at 15, and those early experiences shaped who I am as both a person and an artist. When I stumbled on this comical news broadcast, I instantly felt inspired to flip it into something fun and energetic. I wanted to channel the magical, rebellious feeling of my first raves as a teenager and celebrate what makes rave culture so special.

This sense of nostalgia and reverence is embedded into every layer of the track. From its hypnotic acid lines to its trap-fueled percussion and chest-rattling drops, “World of the Rave” captures the raw magic of late-night dancefloors while reimagining it for today’s electronic landscape.

A Perfect Fit for Jadū Dala
