  • #1 Alexis Raphael: DJing, Party Starting, and A History of London Rave

    From residencies on mid-1990s North and East London pirate radio stations, to touring the DJ booths of some of the world’s greatest clubs as a result of his widely praised "Deep House" releases in the 2010s, Alexis Raphael has been involved in electronic music for 3 decades. His seminal London club night Creche, which has been running for coming on 15 years, has become a raving institution for many a Londoner, and after a break from releasing club music for a few years and focusing on his alternative vinyl label Paella Hair Sex, he’s back in 2023 with a label under the same name, Creche records. In this episode, we discuss his career in dance music, the reality of DJ life, and the evolution of the London rave scene.
