Info:
Rafael Da Cruz’ debut 12“ finally hits the streets, dipping into deeper, gloomier spheres of house. Soaring synths cleverly trim the bed of fat broad baselines. The Black 80s give the original a wicked analogue touch, with a splendid soulful vocal version as bonus track. Cosmic Cowboys and David Hasert supply two impressive remixes that both create a dark, but uniquely vibrant scenery and complete the package.

With a name like that, you should become a leading actor in an Coen-Brothers-Movie, professional soccer player at Benfica Lisbon or head of government with a dictatorial claim for leadership. Eduardo Rafael Da Cruz Ferreira - editor of the magazine FAZEmag - early devoted himself to electronic music. His graceful and melancholic interpretation of deep house he quickly made a name for himself in numerous clubs from Cologne, over Hamburg to Berlin and at festivals like PollerWiesen, RaveOnSnow, Utopia Island and Nature One. With "Right To Love" he started running his own night in Cologne's most famous Club called Gewölbe, where he presents acts like Maceo Plex, Mario Basanov, Ten Walls, Deniz Kurtel, Miguel Campbell, H.O.S.H. or PillowTalk in a very exclusive atmosphere.

DJ Rephil is the moniker of Philipp Achard. The name Rephil is a fusion of his name, Phil , & the prefix re- meaning again or more of. Together they form a word identical to Refill - and this describes exactly his intention: refilling or perhaps better, recharging everybody with positive energy by serving us what we all deserve: good music and uplifting vibes. 

Whilst for some "good music" is a matter of taste, to Rephil it is not. Instead, it is a matter of meaningful compositions and intelligent productions. At this present time, he mainly plays two genres of Electronic Dance Music: Psychedelic Trance (including Full-On, Goa-Trance & Progressive) as DJ Rephil and Techno (including Hard Groove, Hard Trance & House) as ACHARD030.

Philipp was born in Berlin in 1997 and grew up in Templin, a town in Brandenburg, where his passion for music was born. At the early age of 16 he discovered deejaying and a short time later he already played his first gigs at local clubs and got involved in organising parties. When he finished school, his thirst for new inspiration logically meant moving back to Berlin where he had to find out that no one had been waiting for him. He experienced what it really takes to be a DJ. In addition he graduated as a sound designer and startet to produce his own music.     Rephil has regularly been playing at the "Psychedelic Theatre" events as resident for years. Today he is part of the Berlin based collectives "Electric Playground" and "The Rave Legacy" where he experiences a lot of confidence and familiarity.

Some notable bookings include the venues Magdalena, Humboldthain, Kili, Kosmonaut, Rosis, Laut, Mensch Meier, Bucht, KitKat, Wurzelfestival, Kepotopia or Simsalaboom..
