DJ RAHAAN

The name Rahaan may be unfamiliar to most in Hong Kong, but there is no doubt the man from the Windy City, Chicago is now one of the world’s most in demand and well respected DJ for the true authentic sound of funk, disco and soul music.

Channelling the spirit of Chicago DJ pioneers like Ron Hardy, Farley Jackmaster Funk and the Hot Mix 5, Rahaan has been laying down sets spanning everything from jacking house, deep disco, boogie and funk since the 80`s. From underground basement parties on the southside of Chicago, to playing at big nights in the UK, Europe and Japan, his skill and energy behind the decks has brought him out from the Chicago underground and onto the world stage, gaining him a cult following.

In addition to his own productions, Rahaan is also known for his own edits of dance floor classics which have been released on labels including StilLove4Music, KAT and Jisco Music. A compilation of his best edits to date is due out soon on Spacemachine records.
