Brief Experience :
It is in 1998 that he starts to be interested in the House Music. He goes to Ibiza that Summer, where he discovers the night life through the famous parties of the SPACE, AMNESIA, PACHA and other clubs on the Island. Back in France, after such a new musical experience, he manages to get all the equipment to be a DJ and starts his musical exploration, in search of his own style. Raf Fender is discovered by J.L. Caron (Fluid nights) at the beginning of 2000, through a CD and he calls him on Saturday 27th May 2000, where he is invited to play for the famous Fluid night (QUEEN) only 1 year after his beginnings as a DJ, but with a real asset as a drummer and percussionist (in a group playing rock influence) since he was 12. Jean Luc is rapidly convinced of his efficiency and soon after, he leaves him to look after the FLUID residence which is under his responsibilty ever since (Body Bumper) with great talent and for the pleasure of the Club members. Being resident at the QUEEN, he plays regularly with Michael Kaiser, who allows him to mix with numerous international DJs , such as John Mollet, GuyWilliams, Miguel P, Steve Pitron, Gonzalo, Dj Paulette, or even Gilles Massicotte. He plays in most Parisian clubs : Folies Pigalle, Nouveau Casino, Studio 287, Bains Douches, but also in France and abroad Terrazza (Barcelone), An-Fer de Dijon, Monaco, Amsterdam, Lettonia next to DJs such as Wally Lopez, Carlo Mora (Dolly party), Mr. Fuzz (Filtred), Wilfried (Saint & Sinners). With the Body Bumper nights, Pink 75 (with David Maltese, Follies Pigalle) and Man Machine (La Scne) he gives free rein to his passion, distilling sharp mixes of Iberic and London influence, resolutely pumping between progressive, tribal and hard house, and at the same time adapting himself to all kind of publics. His influences at the international level : Steve Lawler, Peter Rauhofer, Victor Calderone, Seb Fontaine, Danny Tanaglia.
