DJ Raff es un ente que es reconocido como parte de la más reciente camada de músicos de orígen chileno, aunque su principal cualidad sea desmarcarse de la mayoría de estos por no mantener el sonsonete depresivo que maneja el resto de sus cotérraneos, por el contrario, su música es festiva, extraña, diversa, tanto que esto le obligó a tener que hacerse de su propia disquera para editar su música y la de aquellos que como él andan en frecuencias no tan comunes.

Pirotecnia Vol 1 es una recopilación de sonidos de esta disquera, que incluye a Roman & Castro, Fantasma, Daniel Klausner, por supuesto a Raff, junto con otros músicos, que en conjunto conforman un mosaico sonoro que lo mismo invita a la fiesta que a la relajación o ambos sin tener que pasar por alguna etapa maniaco depresiva.

Pirotecnia Vol 1 estará disponible a partir del próximo 30 de Junio vía Nacional Records.

So, your music’s kind of unlike other things coming out of your community, it’s a little weird and it seems that there’s not a label quite right for it. What do you do? You release it yourself! And that’s exactly what DJ Raff did. Late last year, DJ Raff started his own label, Pirotecnia, with his wife Dalal, and we’re happy to announce our partnership with Raff to release Pirotecnia Vol. 1, due out on June 30 digitally and on limited vinyl. The compilation will showcase some of the upcoming sounds from the Chilean underground and widen your eyes to the world of Chilean electronic music.

“Pirotecnia was born out of a need to support the growth of electronic music in Latin America and bring our sounds to various places on the planet. In Chile there’s an active and creative electronic scene that continually grows stronger and we don’t want anyone to miss out on what’s happening here,” Raff says about the origins of Pirotecnia. The label champions some of the most innovative and unorthodox electronica artists from the Chilean underground, its roster including Roman & Castro, Fantasma, Daniel Klausner, and Raff himself.

DJ Raff is one of Chile’s most renowned turntablists. He released his debut album ‘Latino and Proud’, which Spin Magazine said, “speaks to his ability to write multilayered, catchy, and accessible beats that nonetheless have a very specific sound and sense of place to them.” The song can be recognized as the theme for the hit Comedy Central TV show Broad City. Raff has also released two albums under RVSB, his collaboration with Latin Bitman. Raff has shared international stages with top artists like Beastie Boys, Kid Koala, Justice, and more.

Pirotecnia’s coming your way sooner than you might think— Raff and co. will be playing the LAMC this Summer in New York City. Prepare yourself!
