Biografía

Having had the opportunity to travel with his great uncle Maurice Béjart, a legendary choreographer, Raphaël formed a fascination for the power of music and how it fuels movement and expression. "As a kid, I was awestruck by the coordination of dancers and the way they moved to the beat. I wanted to be a part of that, make people dance." This fascination led Raphaël to explore his love for music and its limitless potential. Despite initially seeing it as a hobby, he spent hours in record shops and researching electronic music. His love for nature and surfing culture took him to Australia and Bali, where he eventually decided to put down roots. In 2015, with his diverse background, Raphaël started to take music production very seriously, combining his interests and experiences to create a signature sound of Techno and Minimal. As a DJ, it wasn't long before he was performing at clubs across Asia and Australia, including residencies at Bali's "Koh" and "Jenja," two of the most respected nightspots for genuine underground sounds. During that period, Raphaël shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the industry, warming up and closing for most of his musical heroes. His production work has also been recognised, with releases on Aathee, Kindisch Music, Sweatbox, Conceptual Records, Love International, and Flow Records. From 2019, as a key member of the "Desoner" collective, Raphaël established himself as one of the leaders in the Bali Minimal/Techno scene, pushing the boundaries of underground culture. His skills behind the decks landed him residencies at The Vault, where for two years he set the tone for the night with his subtle minimal grooves. In 2023, Raphaël took a new turn with his productions, focusing on techno and hypnotic sounds, manifested by a single on 39 Records and the "Brutalism EP" on BRDL Records. Currently signed with Jakarta Techno Label Underradar, his debut EP "Citizen Roots" is expected early 2025. Raphaël's determination has taken him all over, playing at clubs across Asia, Australia, and Europe. He has headlined events such as SASH Sydney, Breakfast Club Melbourne, and Kyo Kuala Lumpur, to name a few. One of his most memorable moments remains the Moroko Loko in Marrakech, alongside Amine K, Agents of Time, and Jimi Jules, in front of a crowd of thousands. 2025, however, marks a year of change. After over a decade shaping the underground scene in Asia, Raphaël is returning to Europe to embark on a new chapter in his career, bringing with him the rich influences and experiences of his time abroad. The Marseille native is ready to reconnect with his roots and continue evolving as a DJ/Producer in the heart of the European scene.
