Since the 90s, he’s operated just left of the mainstream; DJ, promoter, crate-digger, listener — tuned into deeper frequencies. From co-founding hedphunk and helming Friday Night Frenzies at 206live to 13 years of Oppikoppi sets, he gave a platform to boundary-pushing sounds. He supported icons like Aphrodite, Jon Carter, Stanton Warriors, Mr. Scruff, and more. His journey stretched from Red Bull Music Academy in 2003 to the release of Breakin’ ZA in 2010, a raw snapshot of SA’s breakbeat underground.

After returning to the UK in 2012, he played Camden’s Lockside Lounge, helped revive Kickin’ Radio, and later co-launched AMG Radio after gigging in Bristol. Saturdays broadcasting delicious beats and the woo-woo bass. Now, after a production hiatus, he’s back: intentional, clear, and creatively charged. His latest work distils decades of listening and sonic exploration, shaped by the past but built for the future.

For the longtime heads, the ones who remember, this is a warm welcome back, a reintroduction. For the new listeners with open ears and no rulebook, this is an invitation to come closer.

R.A.P.P. Quelle Bio

He's been described in a variety of ways, from conscious to raw; but theres simply no way an artist like Nassau native R.A.P.P. Quelle can be put in the box of titles without taking away from what it is he does. Not just as an artist but as a human being. Quelle is one artist that stands for many things and won't hesitate to tell you exactly how he feels about any given situation, whether it be concerning music or otherwise. 

A man of humble beginnings, Quelle started his career as an artist in the record stores of Freeport, Grand Bahama battling other up and comers to earn his well deserved spot in the history of Bahamian music. To get where he is currently was no easy task, he fought to make his music known and because of it became widely appreciated for what he does. The love for his music spans the globe from the Americas to Europe and beyond. He's touched hearts and minds with his words and has set out on a mission to continue to bring people not only what they want but what the need from music. 

Quelle is one of the few if not the only Bahamian artist to have ever performed in the Netherlands among other destinations that he has been able to travel to deliver powerful messages. 

Since gaining the attention of his many followers, he has released three mixtape projects including the highly acclaimed first installment of his "Abstract Art" series "Quelle's World Vol. 1", which is still racking up some of the biggest numbers ever for a Bahamian mixtape. He's performed with both local and international bands and racked up some memorable feature slots, along with a menagerie of other milestone achievements. 

As Quelle moves forward with his "revolutionary" music as he describes it, the road ahead is most definitely a bright and prosperous one as he sets out laced up in his trademark Timberland boots.
