Never straying too far from our daily artist updates, Ninja Tune again demonstrate their quality-assured and highly selective A&R policy with new signing Raffertie.
Producer / sound designer Raffertie (aka 24-year old, London-based Benjamin Stefanski) will shortly release his thumping, mesmerising EP Mass Appeal on Ninja Tune, following a set of remixes for Domino, Moshi Moshi and One Little Indian, among plenty of other similarly highly-regarded independent labels. Beginning young, Stefanski’s Classical & Contemporary Music Composition degree yielded a production style instantly picked up by Ministry of Sound and Mary-Anna Hobbes, and finding the ears of Glade Festival and countless excited labels shortly after.
His debut set of material for Ninja Tune is not, to quote the press release, “dancefloor madness”. It is more accurately described as a palette of sonic exploration through seemingly contrasting off-shoots and variations of electronic music, hitting marker points left by Michael Meyer, Aphex Twin, LFO, Burial, Carl Craig, Black Dice and Alvo Noto along the way.
