    RC 356: Rock and Rave

    Rock like a metal mountain, rave like a rant in a noisy club, from metal and swing and bass covers of dance classics to the old skool rave kitchen disco with house, bleep techno, drum and bass, french touch, dub, clowncore, breaks and probably loads of other microgenres I missed the meeting about.
