Tuesday 25th January 2022

Release date: Out now Label:

Warner Chappell Music signed artist Rawdolff is originally from Normandy in France and has been a DJ & Producer, passionate about the musical world since his earliest years. He draws his inspiration from multiple genres especially House, HipHop and American Rap, creating rhythmic sets and mixing contemporary sounds with classics of the genre.

Since 2012, Rawdolff has played in the biggest and hippest International clubs & Festivals such as Arc Club (Paris), VIP Room (Dubai), Fratelli (Romania), The Temple (Egypt), Theatro (Marrakech), Soho Garden (Dubai), Spring Break (Cancun)…

His rising popularity brought him opportunities to share the stage with international artists such as Lil Pump, Lil Wayne, ASAP Rocky, Rick Ross, Cassie, The Game, Trey Songz, Redfoo as well as DJs such as Carnage, and Ofenbach.

Along the way, he has remixed and collaborated with numerous French and International artists including his 2021 Rawdolff remix of Romanian superstar Alexandra Stan and NERVO “Come into my World” recently at #5 in the UK Commercial Pop charts; Nas “I Can (Rawdolff Remix)”]; Gorillaz “Feel Good Inc. (Rawdolff Remix)”; Jidenna “Little Bit More (Rawdolff & DJ Sol Dubai Remix)”; DJ Khaled & Drake “To the Max (Rawdolff & Ron BNZ Remix)”.

In June 2019, international publisher Warner Chappell Music France signed Rawdolff as a DJ & Producer. This signing was an important milestone in his career and since then, he has been working in studio creating new music, the first of which was his unique twist on Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t get you out of my Head” aka “Outta my Head” featuring UK Pop star Tara McDonald which has already amassed over two and a half million streams and appeared on numerous top playlists including Spotify’s Euphoria EDM, Electro Heat and Cancun de Noche as well as charting at #3 in the UK Commercial Pop charts; #5 in the UK Upfront charts; #5 Hungary; #15 India; #40 Tik Tok charts France; #70 Mexico; #77 Spain.

The second release takes Rawdolff down a very different path! “Downtown (Who Got The Fu*k?)” is a monster of a throbbing party tune where 70’s funk/R&B with a Soul Train vibe gets down in a sweaty club underneath Vauxhall Arches! Tara McDonald is on board again but this time her pitched up/down vocals are unrecognizable on this unique but incredibly catchy old skool classic. Expect this to be heavily featured on dance floors during the upcoming holiday season!

Says Rawdolff: “I wanted to create an absolute banger for the clubs, but to conjure up something extra, to add something a little bit different. I had this idea to mix the modern side of underground electronic music with a touch of 70s funk/R&B, to incorporate a Motown flavour and a Soul Train vibe keeping in mind its legendary performers and dancers. And from that idea, came ”Downtown” where the nostalgia for the 70s is updated and propelled into the future”.

The Official Music Video for “Downtown (Who Got The Funk?)” is inspired by the 90s Soul Train vibe and is a visual treat.
