## History

Rave Radio's members, Brett Allen and James Todman, were both studying music at SAE Institute, Gold Coast, when they met. The duo started playing electronic dance music (EDM) together in 2008, and explained their band name, "its a bit deceiving isn't it! We don't play rave music and we're not a radio station haha. We were young and thought it sounded cool and catchy. We stuck with it so have given the name its own identity."
In mid-2010 they provided a remix for Bombs Away's "Big Booty Bitches", which reached No. 23 on the ARIA Club Tracks. Their charting remixes for 2011 are, Stanton Warriors' "Get Up" (April) at No. 5, "Get It Hot" (July) by Rave Radio vs Jolyon Petch featuring I.T. at No. 31, and Bombs Away's "Super Soaker" (October) at No. 10.
Rave Radio issued a single, "Make It Rain" featuring Xamplify, via Central Station Records/Universal Music Australia in May 2012, which was co-written by Allen and Todman with Kwabena Agyei. It peaked at No. 22 on the ARIA Club Tracks. They followed in September with "Botanical", which reached No. 37; and then "Shake Dat" (November 2012), which made No. 17.
During 2013 they issued "One Mind One Heart" (February) as a single, and then provided a remix version of "Hello" by Stafford Brothers featuring Lil Wayne and Christina Milian, which reached No. 1 on the ARIA Club Tracks. In October of that year they issued another single, "Feel the Love", working with Chris Willis, which reached No. 13 on the Club Tracks. It was co-written by Allen, Todman, Willis and Ronald Haryanto; a version was remixed by Nick Skitz. For the inthemix awards of 2013, Rave Radio was listed at No. 16 in the National Top 50 DJs, while in 2015 they were No. 46 for the People's Choice.
In early 2014 they signed with the Ones to Watch Records for international releases and, together with Central Station Records/Universal Music Australia for local product, they provided "Rumble" in July. Another single, "Mugatu" (November), was issued by Rave Radio and Zoolanda (Michael Zuidland), which reached No. 6 on the Club Tracks. During that year the EDM duo toured the United States and Brazil.
