r.r. barbadas is Robbee Barber & Rona Rapadas, an L.A.-based duo that produces experimental dance music on the dark side of a weird house/techno type of thing. Part Time Punks have compared them to the “sparse and dreamy bits of Chris & Cosey and early Adult.” They have released two EP’s, WET HAIR (2016) and FIRST STEP (2017): https://soundcloud.com/rrbarbadas

On their monthly dublab show “Crushing”, Rona & Robbee deliver their own brand of monthly musical crushes, old and new, as well as sharing their zone with guest crushes, live or in the mix.

This week Rona was joined by Kim Free who not only played some of her favorite selections, but also played a short acoustic set.
