ABOUT THIS ITEM

Rahaan is without doubt one of the most traveled and in demand disco disc jockeys on the circuit, and according to the Redbull Academy 'he’s not only a DJ, but a DJ’s DJ'.

Rahaan’s been spinning music since the 80s, he got his schooling in disco music when he heard Ron Hardy play at the Music Box in his native Chicago. At the time other DJs like Pierre or Frankie Knuckles were throwing parties too, but it was the unique fashion Ron Hardy served up his disco and house - raw and real - that had left a long lasting impression on Rahaan. Since then, the brother from the Windy city has amassed a more than respectable record collection, mixing up the rare with the more accessible, but always keeping his choice dancefloor friendly. Over the years Rahaan has personalised plenty of classic tracks by transforming them into his trademark edits in a similar way Ron Hardy and Theo Parrish have done, with the only exception that he keeps close to the disco sound in his output, occasionally dipping into soul, boogie, jazz-funk and funk territory. But above all, the essence of Rahaan’s trademark sound is still undeniably ‘Chicago’ in its energy.

"Rahaan Edits Vol.1" is a tastefully edited DJ friendly 10 tracker CD and features a bonus Mix CD by the man himself. Artwork comes from Munich’s talented Benjamin Roeder, whose artwork has regularly appeared on labels such as Compost and Permanent Vacation.
