They first met at a DJ contest three years ago, but it was after playing together at an afterparty that they saw their stylistic stars aligned. As such, since then they have been perfecting their common ground; distilling their own respective influences into one new and unique sound.

As it goes, said influences are mainly each other and the club; the crowds they play to and the faces they see peering back at them. Years of playing and partying in clubs means the pair have enjoyed experiences across the whole dance spectrum, from house to techno via all the deeper stuff in between.

Their focus is on raw deep house, music with texture and feeling as much as a purposeful drive. “We always like to surprise crowds with our energetic approach” they say. Because this is a recently formed duo, it’s best to hear of their individual DJ exploits over the year.

Absurd has played the likes of Cookie Club at AIR, Plak at Social Club and is resident at Ongeschoren, whilst Raaf is resident at Studio 80 for Black Box and is a regular guest at nights like Voidd and Fakkit at the same club, as well as playing Midnight Freaks at AIR, the Boom Outdoor Festival and UK Sounds at Studio K. Both have a skill for reading crowds and playing accordingly, never afraid of a big bassline or a freaky hook to get people’s attention.

At the moment a duo built on the reputations of two of the Dutch scene’s finest, the pair is hard at work in the studio with the results soon to be released to the wider world. At that point, then, the Raaf & Absurd project will really take on life of its own.
