DJ Raph is the alias of electronic producer Raphael Kariuki, from Nairobi, Kenya. He is an outstanding figure in the growing Kenyan underground electronic scene. his work is a considered homage to the traditions which he borrows from. The archive is revered rather not researched. The respect that DJ Raph, a Nairobi-based producer, has for a broad African cultural heritage is deeply visceral and palpable in this music. Long samples allow the field recordings to breathe, to open up an innovative and vital electronic soundscape. Sacred Groves is simultaneously traditional, contemporary, and deeply sacred.
