Rafal aka RaFFski is a young man who visited London for the first time not that long ago. Since then he has been going deeper underground to explore scorching sounds of acid techno.
Managed to neck 15 cans once but it ended up with smashed headphones.
DJ and promoter based in Manchester. With his partner in crime Joe, both are organizing multi genre nights of techno under the banner of Manchester Techno Collective.
Parties involved local talents like TimG, TSH, Kazek and Xela to showcase a vast spectrum of underground electronic music to a broader audience.
They've already shared the stage and decks with Mick Beatle (Havok), Sted Hellvis and Kami Lee.
2025 looks very promising with a joint operation between Manchester Techno Collective and Dirty As Funk Techno kicking off the festival season in Aatma Manchester on 29th of March.
Started his adventure with DJing in 2022 after meeting Kazek in work who made a massive influence on the decision and has been Raf’s mentor since.
Raf made a debut in a series of internet radio shows run by Rachel RC. Shortly after that joined the Dirty As Funk Techno collective run by Jo Fox.
Since then he swapped controller for turntables and works tirelessly to hone skills and deliver the best acid techno in Manchester.
Who knows what the future will bring?
