Rafael

either lane tech house / indie dance tel aviv 🔥 most played · 23 🧃 🚧 🌴

Rafael is a Tel Aviv tech house and indie dance producer, and one of the most-played names in the crates. He has become a Maccabi House regular, with releases spread across Crosstown Rebels, Hot Creations, Defected and Get Physical.

2026 alone brought Gotta Be Cool with N.O.Y on Crosstown Rebels, Beat Goes On and What Is Luv alongside Adam Ten and Mita Gami on Maccabi House, and an In Love flip of Gwen Guthrie with JØRD on Island Records. His remix of RÜFÜS DU SOL's "Inhale" landed on the group's own Rose Avenue / Reprise.

His Spotify audience is widest in Mexico City and Tel Aviv, then London, New York and Los Angeles. He works most with the groovesmaxxing circle — Adam Ten, Mita Gami, OMRI., JØRD, N.O.Y and Millero.
