DJ Rasoul Comes to babble!

jamies beautiful rasoul posterFriday 26th March @ Havana Yeoman St. Leicester (map) 10pm – 4am. We’ve negotiated a special late finish for this extra special guest, DJ Rasoul (Soulfood), all the way from sunny San Francisco. We’re proud and honoured to have him come and play for us, as we all rate his productions as among the best. We babble boys and girls are almost bursting with excitement about this one – don’t miss out, should be a blinding night of luscious grooves. We’re anticipating a full house, so get down early. P.S. Rasoul can be pronounced Ra – soul, but we prefer “Russell” and will be making jokes about bushes all night. Indulge us, yes, we have lost it, but only slightly, and in a nice way 😉

Ra Soul’s Biography

The elusive and respected Ra Soul aka Guy Nado has been making tracks for nearly a decade. Guy hails from the Ivory Coast in West Africa where his father was a photojournalist. He came to the states in 1975 and attended the Black Panther School in Oakland where his mother was a teacher. By ’89, RaSoul was toying with cheap samplers and soon began producing records with DJ EFX, DJ Digit and Third Floor Productions. This led to a relationship with Strictly Rhythm Records that saw the team of producers as the NW2 project. He released his first Strictly Rhythm record under the alias Dreadman and continued on the Strictly Rhythm-backed label, Freshly Squeezed, under names like the Mad African and Page & Webster. After a couple years in London, playing at clubs like Back II Basics, Hard times, and Ministry of Sound, Guy returned to San Francisco and began a proliferation of impressive releases. The ‘Soul Searching’ series on Large Music was a concept created by RaSoul himself; he wanted to stretch a musical concept over four different releases in the span of three years. While ‘Soul Searching Vol. 4’ is the final installment in this wildly popular series, RaSoul had already lined up an arsenal of spectacular new releases.

DJ RaSoul caught everyone’s attention with his trademark heavy bass lines and deep rich chord structures. His ‘Soul Searching’ series on Large Music has reached classic status and influenced music lovers worldwide. Dj Rasoul tracks also to be found on a host of respected independent labels across the globe, including Naked, Transport, Guidance, Leaf, and Tummy Touch just to name a small fraction of his extensive discography.

As a producer Dj Rasoul really came into his own when starting his independent label SoulFood Recordings in 2001, now with his own outlet to showcase his production skills diversity, and motive put together his first full length project ‘Dj Rasoul presents Soulfood Volume One’, The Soulfood catalog is fast becoming claimed as Dj Rasouls most uninhibited and fort thinking work to date, and the label has already achieved massive respect amongst peers worldwide….
