VANTA VANTA

East London artist SHAY Khushrenada returns with VANTA VANTA, a lively blast of UK hip hop, breakbeat and classic rave energy that feels built for packed dance floors and sweaty underground parties. Produced by Boston MG, whom SHAY discovered online, the track channels the chaotic spirit of The Prodigy while keeping SHAY's own sound front and centre. Inspired by frustration over tightening curfews, licensing restrictions and disappearing venues, VANTA VANTA turns that frustration into a playful rallying cry for London's nightlife, with the slogan Make London Rave Again capturing its rebellious mood.

SHAY recorded the track solo at The Recording Studio London, drawing influence from Skepta, Kano, Lupe Fiasco, Mos Def and Linkin Park. The accompanying video adds another layer, with SHAY travelling solo to Rio de Janeiro and reconnecting with Verissimo and creative collective Corporação Cápsula. He even performed VANTA VANTA live for the first time in Baixada Fluminense. Loud, energetic and unapologetically British, this one comes ready to cause a little trouble.
