A few words about my @radionamsterdam x @vulgednl debut. This club and space has been super important for me, where I spent countless hours on the dancefloor myself and where I made beautiful connections and friendships.
Playing an extended set for almost 5 hours on my debut in a steamy and packed second room was an amazing experience. The energy in there was something I can’t explain. It was real and pure, it was felt and I’m super thankful for that. The clips will speak for itself. To everyone that was there in that moment with me, thank you. A debut that I will always cherish and carry with me. Many thanks and love to @vulgednl for the invite and to @radionamsterdam for taking such good care. ❤️
With love,
Raoul
@tresorberlin this Wednesday was an absolute dream. I’m so thankful to have been given the chance to play this iconic venue. Packed floor, beautiful dancers and many friends that came by to see me play in the cage. Honestly couldn’t wish for more. It would not be possible without the lovely crew from @inbalance.berlin@schicktanz_@vy.sion - Thanks so much for having me. @artifex.x_@fabiankienzler & @schicktanz_ absolutely crushed it all too with their killer sets. Writing this with the biggest smile on my face :) See you all hopefully soon and thanks so much for all the lovely messages afterwards!! x
Last month my track “Sinking Pattern” got released on @kontur.rec - A special moment as this marks my first track on vinyl
Very thankful to be on this record alongside these talented artists. I’ve seen some amazing support so far and received beautiful messages from people supporting the record. Thank you 🤍
