Up and coming DJ/Producer, Raffertie, is currently based in Birmingham. Rafferite holds a residency at London based night, Hold Tight, who in the last few months have had the likes of Dexplicit and Benga headline their nights.
Raffertie has remixed the likes of Faithless, Peaches, Chaka Kahn and Chris Brown amongst others. He has recorded several mixtapes in 2008, most notably for New York based record label No Love Lost Records (NLLR) which can be downloaded here:
Imreally into Raffertie's wonky style with breakbeat and garage influences with heavy twisting basslines. His mixtape blends genres seemlessly drawing unique links between tracks most DJs wouldn't dare to mix. There is a lot of potential for Raffertie who has not only shown himself to be a respectable DJ, but a confident producer with original ideas and a great unheard style.
Other tracks include Silence – Delerium, Ain't Nobody – Chaka Kahn and Bass on the Bottom – The Lady Tigra. These are available to listen to and download off his Myspace:
Hoes Get Down – High Powered Boys
Sick Na Goood – Solid Groove
Life Is Boring (Crookers Zupa Dela Cazals Mix) – Cazal
Broken Homes {Ed Kane’s Better Days Remix) – Ills
Day ‘N’ Nite (Crookers Remix) – Kid Cudi
Never Never (Switch Remix) – Brick ‘N’ Lace
Hit The Club (Stupid Fresh Remix) – Micky SLim
Girls {Mikey Hook Remix) – Calvin Harris
Knobbers (Knobbers) – The Prodigy
Devine Gosa (Switch Remix) – Radioclit

Glitchy, Switchy, bump, Bassline groovy.few words decribing Fidget House a choppy, deeply funky brand of tech-house that Switch (aka Solid Groove) and Jesse Rose have been playing over the last few years. Love sinden and herve (count of monte crystal who play groove-based music that is full of little vocal snippets, quirky melodies and bizarre little samples which have been carefully arranged to create an irresistibly funky rhythm. It’s basically tech-house with a spangled twist. Often promoted by Annie Mac on her Mash Up Show On friday. Its Sherweet. But also does yur head if yu dont understand it.
Artists: Boyz Noise, Sinden, Herve, Erol (kind of), Kissy Sell Out, Jesse Rose, A-Trak, Switch, Trevor Lovely, Duke Demont, Hostage, Diplo’s occasional Tracks, Solid Groove, to name a few.
