DJ Raff

Origin: None

Hailing from the far reaches of South America, Chile’s DJ Raff has come a long way since his early excursions in Hip Hop and B-boy culture. During the 90’s both music and culture were in a bad state due to the political transition, but thanks to his passion and visionary attitude, Raff was able to look forward and find his own direction. At home he experimented with a double tape deck and an old turntable, making loops and beats from artists such as NWA, Beastie Boys and Public Enemy. After years of meeting and working with likeminded youngsters from around Santiago, DJ Raff helped to sow the seeds of what is now considered one of the biggest and most important Hip Hop scenes of Latin America. For over 12 years he has been at the forefront of a new generation of artists who have introduced new styles and forms of music into the Latin market. Raff’s vast experience and upfront production skills have made him one of the most sought after producers in Chile, where he has made beats for many different artists and released his own solo material. It’s no surprise that DJ Raff’s reputation has crossed frontiers and spread across to the rest of the continent and Europe. His blend of creative sampling, phat beats, keyboard arrangements and scratching have already earned him a place amongst Latin America’s most highly regarded and groundbreaking DJs and music producers.
