their own biography
the whole biography
From South America to Europe, Asunción, Posadas, Berlin, Montpellier and more, Rafael delivers sets that connect dancefloors across continents. His sets explore deep grooves, warm textures, and rhythmic intricacies, seamlessly moving between minimal, progressive, electro, and techno. Every performance is approached with intention and flow, placing strong emphasis on emotional connection and atmosphere. Born in Paraguay and raised in Uruguay until the age of 18, Rafa later returned to his birthplace, bringing with him the richness of both cultures. This dual influence deeply shaped his musical outlook, blending the emotional sensitivity and rhythmic nuance he absorbed from each scene. Back in Paraguay, he became an active force in the country’s underground scene. He performed regularly at key venues such as Club Condesa, where he held a respected residency, as well as Tango, Inbetween, Clubroom, Leitmotiv, Sonico, Sublime, and more. His ability to connect with diverse dance floors made him a go-to selector for both intimate gatherings and larger events. In addition to his performances, Rafa is the founder of Leitmotiv, a party series that played a significant role in nurturing the local electronic music movement. Known for its careful curation and strong community spirit, Leitmotiv helped elevate the standard of events and inspired a new generation of listeners and artists. Throughout his career, Rafa has shared the booth with renowned international acts including Onur Özer, Alci, S.A.M, CAP, DJ Koolt, Mateo Dufour, Franco Cinelli, Toman, Mariano Mellino, E110101, among others. a testament to his solid presence and growing recognition. Now based in Berlin, Rafa continues to evolve, connecting with the global scene while staying true to his roots. His sets remain a balance of depth and groove, precision and freedom, always built with soul, instinct, and a profound respect for the craft of DJing.Recently at Fitzroy, Mena Berlin, Minimal Bar · often with Szew, Flor Coto, Santi Calvo, none of them here that night
