Liverpool based producer Rafonic makes his debut with a huge sounding three track ep for Hottwerk Records, "Chant".
Previously one half of live electronic act Killaflaw (Wall of Sound Records), Rafonic has hunkered down for the last year in the studio, creating brand-new-old-school future rave classics that are as much a treat for the mind as they are for the dancefloor.
Drawing from influences including the late 80s acid house soundsystem-in-a-field parties and uninhibited artistic freedom, the "Chant EP" is Rafonic's first official outing, blending melodic electro styles with classic Detroit 808 and 909ness.
"Chant" also features a video by artist Samantha E Harvey. Is Art techno a thing? Perhaps it is now...

“Killaflaw have the passion, the soul, the raw power and the tunes. They’re gonna be massive.” - DJ Magazine

Named after a track by legendary bluesman Howlin’ Wolf. They’re from Liverpool, consist of Benn Helm (vocals, guitar) and Andy Paton (electronics, trumpet) and are recent signings to legendary London label, Wall of Sound.

Killaflaw have been likened to a number of other acts – “like Led Zep meet the Chemical Brothers”, “the missing link between Soundgarden and The Prodigy” – but really they have a sound that is uniquely their own.

‘Revolution’, won Xfm’s Demo Of The Year award, and then a low-key release of the ‘Set Me On Fire’ single organically spread around the world and topped the DMC charts in the US. It was played on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6Music, NME Radio, Xfm London and many other independent stations, and Utah Saints produced a remix of this track. There are now more than 100 home-made YouTube videos that use ‘Set Me On Fire’ as a soundbed – strong indication of its grass roots popularity.

Killaflaw have played played at UK festivals such as Glastonbury (West Dance), Bestival (Big Top), Secret Garden Party (Temple of Boom), Glade (Main Stage), Beat Herder (Main Stage) amongst others various London venues such as Koko, Brixton Jamm and Proud, they have also performed at MTV, BBC and Filter Magazine shows. On the continent, Killaflaw have played at Kazantip in Ukraine, Pravda in Moscow, Bodrum Carnival in Turkey and toured in Germany and the Czech Republic.

In the summer of 2010 they were joined by former Pendulum and Apollo 440 drummer Paul Kodish for several festival shows, and their single ‘Happy Daze’ was released on Westway Records in April 2011.

Their debut release on Wall of Sound, the "Broken Idol EP" was released in November 2013 and featured Freq Nasty and DDPLGNGRS on remix duties. The Killaflaw Remix of Bloody Beatroots ft Paul McCartney was released through NY heavyweights Ultra. 

They are currently gearing up for their 2nd release and album due for release on Wall of Sound this year.
