Dance producer/performer Brighton UK (where the clubs never close)
Raquela! Disco Never Died (Rakk Remix)
Amazing track. I loved the original, but this adds just a bit more power to an already wonderful track.
Every right to be vain over this Raquela. I've been listening to your CD for a day or so now on my MP3 player, and this - the first track is just a barnstormer - that melody is so damned infectious! Rakk, your arrangement adds something deep, gritty, big and bouncy to the mix, filled with a sense of space, that's like emotional overload! I doubt that such technical proficiency, married with pure joy of energy will remain overlooked for long.
I still love this! I'm still listeing to this. Am I vain? Yes, (hee-hee) but I know quality production when I hear it!!!
BIG MASSIVE EMOTIONALLY CHARGED THANK YOUS TO ALL OF YA LOVELY PEOPLE
Thanks for the input my friend.Disco never dies? "RELENTLESS" mix with lock tight production, this guy knows his business. brilliant!
Once again, Rakk has delivered. I have been fortunate enough to get "Rakked" across the ocean as well. Unbelievable work Rakk.

After a sack-full of emails asking "what on earth does the robot say in verse 2" etc, Rakk has put finger to key and added the lyrics to RakkTronic(For your delectation and delight)
Rakk shows his face at the door of inspiration after a looooong breakRefreshed, revived and less full of beer than last year he is busy working away connecting THIS to THAT in an effort to get the World off its ass and dancingCheck back before January 28th.......
nuff saidnew track imminent
Rakk is currently resting up at his palacial 1 bed apt concocting a blend of groove, bounce and stomp for his next offerings in DecemberSources close to him hve said "where's he at?"He'll be back.
Rakk has posted a work in progress of his latest collaboration with Beta17The track is called BE LIKE METake a listen and as always - say what you think
Rakk has teamed up with funkmeister Beta17 to put together their first co-production across the pondThe track is called "Set Your Ass Free"It is guaranteed floorfiller - make no mistake.
Rakk has finally finished his re-working of Raquela's hugely successful single "Disco Never Died"Rumours are it's even had the doormen dancinGet it on girl.
Rakk is now officially awe-inspired by the recent success of his remix of Beta17. A flurry of remix requests have arrived in his intray and they have been shortlisted as follows:Beta17 Paradise Decay Raquela Virus and Dsential has playlisted Tronic on his pending CD mix releaseHe's gonna be busy.
Rakk is now lining up a second remix of a Beta17 track - details soonAnd is also teeaming up with Raquela for "Disco Never Died"Deadline for mixes is one week
Rakk creates a 130bpm remix of Beta17's class track "Space Man, Silver Man"Rakk is said to be thrilled to have completed his first piece of work with another artist from MP3unsigned."The concept of remixing somebody's music from the other side of the pond is freaky and a great inspiration" said Rakk.
It's one quarter way through the album and Rakk has once again started the foundations of his 4th track.Excited and emotionally inspired by the helpful comments and constructive criticism he received from his first three tracks, Rakk has made a mental note that if he ever manages to release a record, the top of the sleevenotes will be a massive big-up to everybody on MP3unsignedHe awaits reaction once again busting to get tweaking on response.
After 3 days of work Rakk releases RakkTronic, a blend of mid-trance and vocoder pop,THe track is in part written by MP3Unsigend artists through messageboard and comment board guidance and critiqueRakk is now working on a nother blend - Target Practise due out this weekend
Rakk - as usual - learns from his peers and always responds with positive steps - as has been seen yet again with version 2 of his mildly out-there vocoder tune.He is hoping that for those inclined to listen to Dance/Pop/4-4 stuff, there may be the temptation to once again help shape the finished version via the medium of the comments board.Weeeeeeee.
Rakk has surprised us again by NOT releasing a track called "Target Practise" (he muttered something about bullets) and has instead uploaded his new work-in-progress - TRONIC.Smothered in vocoded inspirational words, Rakk's latest addition is another foray into the unknown using his new toys.No doubt one or two comments will be passed, good and bad, for Rakk to take on board.
Rakk is once again delighted that somebody has taken the time to comment on his latest work - First Dive. "It's like an injection of creativity everytime I get feedback" said Rakk.Rakk's next release - Target Practise - is dues out over the coming weekend. Rumours point to another melodic track - most likely 4-4 but with breaks.Watch this space.
In breaking bulletins across Brighton, Rakk - famed but still aloof beatducer has finally made his way slowly to the dizzy heights of number 49 in the official mp3unsigned Dance charts.SOurces close to the artist cite frantic fiddling with his favourite new toy - Ableton Live 4.0.1 Rumours abound that on the back of his enormos succes Rakk might just get off his fat Rakkside (TM) and make another tune
There's four-packs being cracked as we speak. Rakk ain't at the party - he's tweaking his microsettings on his portable MP3 dancemachine and upping the melody config to max. Rakk got reviewed by Slippy-T (mod from this site) and he is over-the-moon-and-in-the-studioWhen Slippy-T reviewed his track. Rakk was so overwhelmed with joy he threw a sicky from his 9-5 and wrote another. The fruits of this effort will be posted soonTHe review can be read in full, at the following hypergroovylocation.com/f*ckin "A" Rakk says - F*ckin "A#" actually.
In a breakthrough of effort and hope, Rakk (of RakkMusic) has got off his fat .... and managed to not only make two tunes in three days, but has also upped them to mp3unsigned.comA source, close to Rakk, said "I can't believe it, he is so disorganised, litter all over his room , coffee stains days old reside on his computer, and his BED! - My god if had had a penny for every...."As you can see - unprecidented goings on ar RakkMusic Further detail on this phenomenon can be found at the artist's website
The first track I heard from Rakk, and I was immediately hooked. This is the sort of dance track that would increase sales of bottled water at any large club event, as theres no stopping you once you get into this one. Relentless might seem like a negative word, but in context I think it's relevant. The beat is Relentless, driving you on and on with it's almost tribal beats.
Location: Brighton UK. Into the dance zone. What I really like about this is that it doesn’t sound like the usual chart dance stuff and THAT is a huge plus in my book. This number is as tight as a badgers ass and certainly makes the head nod and the feet shuffle.
