Bleep Bleep at the Bulls Head present Raffertie

This is what they’ve been sayin:

"His bass-heavy style flits between speed, garage, hardhouse, dubstep and electro - shamelessly ripping off the poppiest of pop along the way. It’s brutal and it works, get some." - NOISE PORN (01/05/2008)

"DJ's of the planet are you listening?? This is the stuff that make panties moist, now please, without further ado, GET ON THIS MIX!!!!!!!!!!!!" - TRASH MENAGERIE speaking about Raffertie's NLLR MIX (07/03/2008)

"Raffertie once again proves himself to be one of the most innovative and hands down fun DJs in the U.K. or for that matter, the world!" - NLLR (07/03/2008)

"We're also excited to have new talent from Birmingham, in the way of Raffertie, who's unique mutation of bassline garage and electro is breaking boundaries and pioneering a new sound for 2008." - HOLD TIGHT (20/02/2008)
"As far as I can tell, he’s made entirely out of plaid and his production is quite unique. It incorporates all the elements that are found in his mix but without getting too messy like some cross-genre pollination can be. Lotsa bass, of course and honestly, it resembles Burial’s subdued, bassy style in the same way that TS7 resembles MJ Cole in that, its certainly not as well produced as the latter but it sticks to the same theme, it hits hard and will work on the floor." - TRASH MENAGERIE (22/01/2008)
