Electrik Dancer (Slowmotion Electronic Vibes Mixtape) Jun 2020

I started dj-ing in late 80s at the time that Acid House transformed the world of dance music. I played in Glasgow 88-99, Fever at Fury Murry's, Tin Pan Alley, The Choice, The Apartment and Rhapsody. I then played in Austraila from late 91 to late 92, mostly in Sydney during the warehouse party explosion. Played frequently at Bondi Hotel, Mars, Freezer, Bentley Bar and several huge dance parties. Bondi Beach on Xmas Day 1991 will always be the one defining moment.
In '99 I moved to London and started a residency at N20 in Soho, followed with long stints at Medicine Bar, The Retreat and The Light Bar. One-offs at Renaissance, Gatecrasher and Funkshoppe Boat Parties were epic.
Early 2000s played regularly in Malaysia, then adventures around Europe - frequently to Finland/Estonia 2003-2008.
In 2013, I moved to Seattle and in 2019 started playing again. I am resident at the amazing Stayin' Alive nights. In 2020 I headed back to Sydney in Feb and played the legendary Up for It! party.

His very unique sound and personality, and incredible work ethic, coupled with  unstoppable creative genius have given Rayko the momentum and consistency to stack up a number of great achievements in his genres, although being such a humble and down to earth guy, he will tell you that he just loves what he does and is perpetually inspired to keep on doing it! 

Deeply rooted in the golden era of the ‘70s and ‘80s, Rayko’s influences are masterfully interpreted and transformed into modern day dancefloor bombs with great vision. His love affair with the evolution of synthesizers and vintage drum machines has gone on to heavily fuel his sound today, in addition to sonic desires of 80s Rock evident in his catalogue, that displays such exquisite musical versatility.
