Number 15 of our OYE Podcast Series is coming from Willem aka Rasval, who recorded a vinyl only mix under his new alias ‚Willem‘, which focuses more into House and Dub-House and will be a platform for his musical outcome in these genres. 

 

Grown up in a little town in the middle of Mecklenburg Pomerania, William has been socialized in his teen age by several surrounded electronic music events. After moving to Berlin for his audio engineering studies, he started his musical DJ and live-act project Rasval in the beginning of 2019 to focus on the deeper and classical side of Techno and House - mostly inspired by the sound of Detroit, UK and Dub. 

An international tour schedule has since followed, including stops and appearances at prestigious venues and events, including Tresor Berlin, Modular Cape Town, Video Club Bogota, Toytoy at And Club Johannesburg, Griessmuehle Berlin, Institut fuer Zukunft Leipzig as well as Good2U Festival, Feel Festival and many more. 

Nebelgelb’, the first EP of his collaborations with label partner Ones. which includes remixes by .VRIL & Sleeparchive, kickstarted their own Hardwax-distributed imprint TMN TRAX itself. During the studio work with him they most recently found the live-project Current Location with which they have their debut release on the Robert Johnson’s 25 years birthday compilation Lifesaver 5 in August 2024 among artists such as Gerd Janson, Mano Le Tough, Massimiliano Pagliara & Cinthie.
