Behind The Label: SPEEDTEST RAVE
From Rio’s streets to global dance floors, SPEEDTEST RAVE channels Brazil’s next wave of producers, blending Brazilian funk energy with UKG, jungle, and bass-heavy club futurism.

Born from the restless energy of Brazil’s underground, SPEEDTEST RAVE is more than a label. It’s a living document of a subculture moving at full throttle. Created by Chediak and Diogo Queiroz, the project connects releases and real-world raves to capture the sound of a new generation fusing Brazilian funk rhythms with global club DNA.
At its core, SPEEDTEST thrives on motion. Tracks blur UKG swing, jungle breaks, drum & bass pressure, and homegrown electronic textures into something fast, physical, and unmistakably Brazilian. From bedroom producers with limited resources to international stages, the platform champions artists pushing conventions rather than following them. Names like DJ CARLOZS, Taleko, Crosstalk, Gabrieu, Clementaum, and Tui reflect the breadth of voices shaping its orbit.
The duo’s roles are clear and complementary. Chediak steers the sonic identity, digging for artists redefining Brazil’s relationship with high-octane, bass-driven club music. Queiroz brings it to life offline, building events that carry the label’s intensity into warehouses, festivals, and dance floors worldwide.
From Rio’s streets to global circuits, SPEEDTEST RAVE operates on instinct and velocity. No fixed tempo, no rigid borders. If it makes bodies move and accelerates culture forward, it passes the test. We go behind the label with Chediak to learn more.
