Rawtee

Raised in the bustling breeze of Miami, Rawtee AKA Raul Chavez had a start in dance music unlike most American artists his age. With roots in acid house, funk, techno, and ambient, his love affair with electronic music stems from his family's love of the dance. After kick-starting American label "Cymbalism Recordings" in 2004 and one self released vinyl, his sound caught the ear of Formation Records boss, DJ SS. Debuting on the widely played Reformatted EP, alongside Generation Dub and Nero, his track "Too Much Wine" took the scene by storm. Following up with the smashers "Vagabond" for the launch of SS's World of Drum and Bass imprint, and "Jawbreaker" (Remixed by Zen) in 2005, cemented him as a major dancefloor talent. Moving forward saw the redevelopment of Total Science's Fix recordings with Rawtee on board for 2 slamming singles featuring "Nausea" and "Audio Juice" for 2006-07. Now delivering his freshest content through Twisted Individual's Grid and Zombie imprints as well as Zen's Flipmode Audio, he continues to destroy floors across the globe with his unmistakable style. Also a skilled DJ, he promotes his productions with his punishing live sets spanning the US and Canada, including Winter Music Conference events such as WODNB and Metalheadz and has also been featured in the May 2008 issue of Knowledge Magazine.
