BASS / TECHNO / HOUSE
“Mumbai-based artist Rafiki forays into rapturous house, swung breakbeats, tunnelling techno and bleepy acid.”
Rafiki is the alter ego of Sohail Arora, a pioneering figure in the Indian music industry who significantly shapes club culture as the founder of Krunk. Based out of Mumbai, he moves as easily between styles like acid, breaks, house and techno as he does between his roles as a seasoned curator, producer, label head and selector. The result is a signature sound that lies somewhere between a straight and broken beat. It is a space he stakes a unique claim to as someone who has earned a reputation for cutting-edge taste in music over the last 15 years. His productions have gained support from artists such as Ben UFO, Roza Terenzi, Acid Arab and many more.
