RAZ

1. Raz is Raz Kfir from Israel, a master of psytrance. His debut album Twisted fairytale on Sundance Records offers us new perspectives into powerful melodic trance. His music is filled to the brim with power, ecstatic emotion and brooding atmosphere, layered with bass lines so phat you can carve your Sunday roast on them. The melodies are unique & rich and uplifting, and some also take on a distinctive sinister dark edge…producing a war inspired apocalyptic “The world is ending” vibe. taken from http://www.sundance23.com/RAZmedia.htm

Success came early for this well-traveled DJ, with high-profile residencies up and down the country, and an invitation to join the elite ranks of hard-dance super label, Nukleuz. More accolades were to come, and Mixmag Future Hero status soon followed, having impressed the judges up and down the country with her exciting and technically precise sets. Always on the lookout for new inspiration, DJ/producer Caroline's sound and style have evolved constantly from her early clubbing days in London...
