DJ Raff

Chilean DJ and producer DJ Raff crafts lysergic, low-slung dance music to lose yourself to. A heady mix of percussive patterns and hypnotic melodies laced together with samples from across the Afro-Latin diaspora, DJ Raff’s sound is rooted locally but resonates globally. Now based in London, DJ Raff has established himself as one of the most prolific producers on the scene, releasing fifteen singles and remixes in the last two years, and amassing support from BBC 6 Music’s Gilles Peterson and Tom Ravenscroft among many others. With a show on Balamii Radio in Peckham, South London, DJ Raff has honed a seamless sound that weaves an innovative use of samples and edits into a single sonic tapestry. In his DJ performances, DJ Raff blurs the lines between selection and live improvisation, scouring the internet for the new music, never content to just play a track without tweaking it to the texture of the whole. He has performed at festivals around the world, including Sonar, Mutek, Lollapalooza, Great Escape and institutions like Tate Modern in London. No stranger to mainstream success, in 2012, DJ Raff’s track ‘Latino And Proud’ was featured on EA Sports Fifa 2012 video game and was then subsequently chosen as the theme tune for Comedy Central’s award-winning TV show Broad City. A tireless innovator who has helped build not one but two scenes in his native Chile, DJ Raff is on a new journey. The time has come to join him.
