Hailing from the south coast and now based in Birmingham, Raffertie is the 22 year old DJ and producer whose innovative have lit up the UK’s underground dance music scene for the last couple of years.
Playing high energy, bass laden tunes Raffertie has become a firm party favourite across the UK. His sets include everything from uplifting pop classics and 90’s rave anthems to the filthiest house, garage, grime and dubstep tracks, creating huge dance floor reactions.
Alongside his DJing exploits, Raffertie’s productions have received much acclaim. With Starkey championing the twisted rumbling monster ‘Antisocial’, Radio One’s Mary Anne Hobbs picked up the distorted, devastating beats of ‘Stomping Grounds VIP’, describing him as “as sick as they come”. He has been put together guest mixes for both Mary Anne Hobbs and Rob Da Bank. His tracks have also been played by Huw Stephens and Nick Grimshaw amongst others.
2009 saw huge releases on Planet Mu, Seclusiasis and official remixes for Franz Ferdinand, Wild Beasts and Akira Kiteshi. With DJ support from the likes of Starkey, Rusko, and Reso and a number of exciting projects in the pipeline Raffertie remains one to watch for 2010.
Many questions have been asked about the origins of those scissors in his logo, and without any definitive answers from the man himself we’re left wondering whether they represent his cutting edge tracks, or his slicing and dicing of all genres to create that insane party style. Perhaps he just likes arts and crafts.
Someone once said “I like to think of one arm being the technically trained, innovative producer, while the other is the bass crazed, fun loving DJ, and the two snapping together to carve up the dance floor wherever he goes.”
