Somme Farris
Somme Farris is a DJ, Sound System Designer, and Event Curator based in Berlin. His sound is the culmination of twelve years of collecting, playing, and exploring — a journey that has shaped a style known for its textural, percussive, and raw groove. He has played a multitude of London venues, including Fold, The Cause, Corsica Studios, Electrowerkz, and International at Aeden (BLN), Renate (BLN), Fitzroy (BLN), Teatro Mars (SP), and more.
Driven by a deep love of sound, Somme founded Alephalef Sound, a small Business dedicated to designing, building, and renting bespoke sound systems. It is this obsession with how music feels in a room that underpins everything he does. While living in London, he launched Phact — a sound system-centred rave born out of a desire to break free from the city's heavy-handed nightlife regulations. Rooted in the energy of the daytime, Phact offered something rare: an escape that was both euphoric and unrestrained.
The rest of it — two more paragraphs
His latest venture, Rama Forever, brings a new chapter — a club night devoted to reviving the spirit of NYC house music and returning it to the dancefloor where it belongs.
Whether behind the decks, curating spaces, or building the systems that make them sing, every thread of Somme's practice feeds into the others. The result is a body of work defined by authenticity and raw passion — one that connects the rave experience to its most innate, sensual, and human forms.
