Spotlight Mix: Raffi Habel

Some DJs dig deep. Raffi Habel clearly digs into his own hard drive first, and fair play, there’s plenty worth pulling out.

Today’s Data Transmission Spotlight Mix lands courtesy of a producer who’s been quietly building a serious catalogue of rowdy, ragga-leaning tech house weapons, and this mix feels like a proper statement. Originals, collabs, IDs, unreleased bits, it’s all very Raffi. No filler. No polite transitions into safe territory. Just bass-heavy club records built for sweaty rooms and people making questionable decisions at 3am.

If you know Raffi, you’ll know he’s never taken himself too seriously either. His self-written bio still reads like a classified ad gone rogue, name-dropping exes like Ministry of Sound, Pacha Ibiza and Space Ibiza while promising “ragga-inspired tech house” and warning off bots and phish. Thankfully, the music backs up the chat.

This mix is stacked with his own releases on labels like Stashed, Palmlands, Rock Bottom and DT Weapons, plus collaborations with Honey-B-Sweet, Dread MC, Johan S, Artichokes and more. There are a fair few unreleased IDs in here too, which usually means one thing, he’s road-testing future damage.

From the bounce of My Body Fire to the chaos of Big Dirty Stinking Bass and the unreleased heat lurking towards the back end of the mix, this one doesn’t hang around.

Press play below and lock in.

A trip to dance music’s anointed holy ground of Ibiza in 1997 then cemented his sense of purpose and laid the foundations for what was to come over the next few decades of his marriage to the music industry.
