Spanish DJ/producer Raye has achieved much at a relatively young age.
Having started producing at the age of 22, he dedicated much of his time growing up in Madrid to his love of electronic music. He immersed himself
in his art, and began both exploring and creating new and innovative sounds.
His music style developed rapidly and he developed a unique style for which he quickly became known.
Raye’s reputation for mixing and creating powerful sets, with deep cuts and energetic bursts have given him acclaim across the country. He began releasing music with Spanish record labels early in his career, and formed an exciting alliance with fellow producer Alex Ferrer. Together they co-founded the music label Deeplomatic Recordings. The formation of Deeplomatic Recordings saw releases of EPs that have become well known amongst big stalwarts of the industry. Their music has been remixed by artists such as Miguel Puente, Horatio and Berny, to name a few. Raye has also collaborated with other great producers such as Joeski and Rick Wade.
Raye is well respected and firmly established in the club scene. He is resident DJ in ‘Studio 76’, one of the most prestigious clubs in Madrid, and is in demand across the country with regular appearances at clubs such as SanPapa, Warehouse, Entity and Class. His international work has progressed rapidly, and has seen him play in the US, UK, Mexico, France, Germany and Thailand, to name a few. He will often be seen in music festivals such as Burning Man, Coincidance and Electrosplash and has shared the DJ booth with artists such as Robert Babicz, Fur Coat, Francesca Lombardo, Funk D’Void, Einmusik, Atish and Tiefschwarz.
2017 has started with a new alliance, having being signed by one of the largest agencies in South America, ‘The Mothership Agency’. After playing in Coincidance festival in Mexico, Raye toured in California and Columbia. He will be releasing some long awaited tracks this year, and with upcoming appearances in Italy, Japan and Switzerland, as well as his on-going residency in Studio 76, 2017 looks to be another exciting year for Raye.

Il existe 100 mots différents en arabe pour dire l’amour.
Malgré ce fait méconnu, qui dit combien la civilisation arabo-musulmane est riche et subtile, les mots « arabe » et « musulman » résonnent de connotations négatives dans les médias et l’actualité française. C’est peu dire qu’il n’est pas simple pour un artiste vivant en France  aujourd’hui d’arriver avec un projet arabophone.
Qu’à cela ne tienne, Akim El Sikameya  a décidé de retourner le stigmate : il est désormais le Lovist, le fanatique (oui, mais) de l’amour…
Ce nouveau projet, mûri à la faveur de plusieurs années de silence marquées par la maladie, est celui de la résurrection et de la maturité. Akim Le Lovist revient à l’essentiel : les racines arabo-andalouses toujours, les amitiés musicales, le coeur de l’artiste exposé dans les textes de ses chansons…

Old BIO
Akim was born in Oran, the Algerian music capital. From the age of eight, he joins a well-known Arab-Andalusian music school – a music born in Spain with the encounter and the exchanges between the three monotheistic cultures. To have learnt his art in such conditions gives him not only a strong musical background – which allows him to play easily lots of other repertoires – but also a philosophy of life and art, based on the experience of cross-cultural mixing. Thus at the age of twenty, Akim creates a band, El Meya : for the first time and for this band, he transforms Arab-Andalusian nubas into songs, adding a flamenca guitar and a piano to a music which ignored such instruments.

But the civil war which condemns his elder brothers, threatened by fatwas, to the exile, will definitely mark Akim’s destiny. He follows in his brothers’footsteps and leaves Algeria to Marseille where he discovers love, freedom, and becomes the whooping-cough of the artistic and intellectual Phocaean background. He is quickly spotted because of his rare top C voice, his unique way of playing the violin (standing, the instrument leant on his thigh), and his very Mediterranean charisma. Thus he rapidly signs up with an independent label, who releases his first album (Atifa-Oumi) in 1999.

After a promising tour with prestigious first parts (Alain Souchon, Julien Clerc, Noa, Khaled, Cesaria Evora…), Akim releases a second album, Aïni-Amel, in which he writes and composes all songs entirely. This second album, mix of many influences, can be seen as the reflection of the assumed paradoxes of a complete artist, being able to compose nice melodies and to perform them on stage with a remarkable impetuosity. Besides, the WOMAD International Festival (created by Peter Gabriel) chooses Akim El Sikameya to become its 2004 « coup de cœur ».

Thanks to this judgement of Thomas Brooman, the WOMAD’s director, Akim is applauded on tour until 2006, in the different cities welcoming this itinerant festival : Las Palmas, Madrid, London (Live 8), Singapore….The international dimension of Akim’s music is quickly confirmed by other world tours (India, Spain, Sicilia…), by many releases abroad, added to several selections on famous compilations (Live 8 Africa Calling by Real World, The Rough Guide To North African Coffee by World Music Network, Arabian Lounge by Nascente…). His fourth album is comming soon.
