THE HEART & SOUL NEWSLETTER IS LIVE! raphaelsworld.substack.com/p/beyond-the-mix-chille…
Yes yes, hope everyone is bless. Have to thank you all for the response on CHH&NS #40. It's been crazy to see the amount of love and the support for the new format.
To read more about how that mix came to life, my process, track selection and more, tap in to the Heart & Soul newsletter via the link above.
Yes world, some exciting things dropping this Friday:
1) I’ve been working on new ways to present my mixes and for mix #40 I wanted to mark it by doing something new. A lot have been asking when I’d go live, mix #40 is that time. This one has been months in the making, dropping Friday 13:00 GMT.
2) Secondly, I’ve wanted to find a way to provide more context and write about new finds, my music production, stories behind mixes and so much more for the longest time. To facilitate this, I’ll be launching a brand new @substack newsletter also dropping Friday called ‘HEART & SOUL’ where you can catch me writing about all things music, dropping beats I’ve made, tips and tricks with a bunch of BTS content that I’ll only be sharing on there.
More will be revealed! Big big love as always for listening. I see you.
ICYMI. Here's some sneak peak visuals of a project @cassette_jr and I are working on. A behind the scenes, fly on the wall style film documenting the creative process behind my mixes. We'd love to have your input as valued and loyal listeners over the years.
If you'd like to be a part of this film, you can have your say by telling us what your favourite mixes are, where you listen to them, how you found them and what they mean to you in a short voice note or video clip. We'd really love to hear from you as we know how global and diverse the audience is. If you'd like to say a few words, please send your submission to raphaeldocofficial@gmail.com.
In other news, a new mix will be dropping next week!
Much Love
YOUTUBE FAMILY!
Been a minute but I’m very happy to announce an exciting project my bro @cassette_jr and I have been working on behind the scenes over the past few months. Scroll across for the details. For those on instagram, you can preview the pre-teaser here: www.instagram.com/p/C4QaDl2I-xz/?img_index=1
We would love to have your input on what I’m sure will be an amazing project. Even if its just a short voice note, clip or recording. You can send your submissions to raphaeldocofficial@gmail.com - Plenty more to come…
In other news, I'm working on a new deep and soulful house mix to drop very soon so stay tuned for that one. Big love!
Yes world, here a few snaps form last week's LUVSOUL event in Shoreditch, London UK. Played 5 hours of music and went on a real journey through the sounds, the venue and crowd were amazing and super responsive to the music. One of the best events I've played at in recent times. Big love to the LUVSOUL family.
Life has been lifing hard currently! I've been wanting to post some more mixes but I'm just currently not in a place where its possible. But that won't be for much longer. Looking at dropping some new material in the next month or two when things settle down. I'm also working on starting my own newsletter for behind the scenes content, more tracklists, playlist and general updates. Would y'all be interested???
Thank you all for rocking with me! This stuff takes time, I always want to make sure that I keep putting out quality mixes you won't hear anywhere else.
Peace,
Raph

Yes world, my official numbers for this year on YouTube have just come through! I have to say a massive thank you to you, the listeners, for rocking with me over the course of 2023 and beyond. I'm super grateful for you all man and still can't believe the reach these mixes have across the globe. In times where I've found music is healing, I'm so pleased I have this platform to share these sounds with you all. More mixes to come in 2024!
I'm also working on an amazing project currently with some talented people, which should hopefully give you all a detailed insight into the world of Raphael. Stay tuned for that one in the future. Until then, I'll be working on delivering some more top shelf mixes. Stay blessed, look after each other and enjoy the festive period. Big love every time! – Raph
Big love to everyone that came down to @vybznrhymes event last week. Had fun taking everyone on a soulful journey for the last hour, while also raising funds for a great cause. Massive shout out to my brother @cassette_jr for documenting the vibes.
Music has no doubt been the therapy and spiritual cleanse for my soul in recent times. More than grateful I can share this experience live and connect with longtime listeners.
Hopefully will have some more dates coming up in the near future. Until then, forever learning and listening.
Love ❤️
