Rave At Your Fictional Borders unveil mesmerising electro-organic sound in “Jungle Truffle” live video premiere
Rave At Your Fictional Borders’ music gradually emerged last year as an Athens based conceptual improvisational project led by multi-instrumentalist producer Dave De Rose in collaboration with sound artist Marius Mathiszik and a small selection of forward thinking musicians interested in exploring and expanding on the avant-garde-step tradition born out of De Rose’s long-standing Agile Experiments project. Knocking on the doors of creation aiming to deliver accessible experimental music that draws on a plethora of influences, their common goal is to deepen the commercial palette of the listening population while pursuing out-of-the-norm, alternative listens.
The early beginnings of the group have already borne fruit as the band recently released an EP, named ‘Potion Trigger’.

Overtime a strong connection and commitment to the project developed into a trio format, binding Marius and Dave with Sotiris Tsolis, a young, fiery Athenian drummer distilled from stylistic influences spanning extravagantly between modern jazz to progressive-punk. This formation coalesced over the summer of 2023 with the trio working together in many contexts reinforcing their connection and arriving to a collective output that is no longer led by any one member.
Filmed and edited by Nefeli Papaioannou, the live video for “Jungle Truffle”, their first single as a band, aims to represent their multifaceted experiences, intensions and sound.
Rave At Your Fictional Borders is now a band with an original sound and compositions drawn from an extremely broad church of musical influences encompassing avant-garde, noise, psychedelic jazz, techno and kosmische musik.
Rave At Your Fictional Borders are touring the UK across the following days with the following dates:
17 November at Pan-Pan in Birmingham
