Journey To The Stars

Innerleaf was founded in 2023 by Tim van Werd as a record label. 
The label is focussing on artists and music around Melodic House & Techno.

With standout performances at renowned festivals such as Creamfields, Chemical Festival, and Sunrise, as well as tours across Europe and the United States, Rafael ABIRAMIA is a name synonymous with elegance and technical mastery in electronic music. Known for his ability to craft sets that transcend the conventional, the Rio de Janeiro-born DJ and producer has shared stages with legends like Armin Van Buuren, Hernán Cattáneo, and Underworld, earning acclaim for his seamless, harmonious mixes and emotionally charged atmospheres.

Currently, Rafael ABIRAMIA is deeply immersed in music production, with 12 unreleased tracks planned for release in 2025 and exciting collaborations poised to elevate his music to new heights. Inspired by the melodic sounds of Scandinavia, Germany, and Spain, he draws influence from artists like Nora En Pure and Ben Böhmer while embracing the vibrant textures of Afro House and Melodic House.

Born in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, and having lived in culturally rich cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and Lisbon, Rafael began his journey in 2001 after completing a course at World Music in Copacabana. His natural talent has taken him from intimate friend gatherings to Rio’s biggest clubs and festivals, such as Rio Music Carnival, and onto the international circuit, performing in countries like Portugal, France, Spain, Germany, Serbia, Norway, the United States, Hungary, and the Netherlands.

In 2023, Rafael released a remarkable remix of "Faded," marking the beginning of a new phase in his career. His current sets are meticulously designed to take audiences on an immersive journey, filled with vibrant melodies and contagious energy.

With plans to launch a biweekly radio show and eventually establish his own label, Rafael ABIRAMIA aims to solidify his position as one of the most promising names in the electronic music scene. His music conveys joy, freedom, and connection, inviting listeners to close their eyes and lose themselves in the sonic journey he creates.
