K's World of Music

Where the journey began

Raime’s love of DJing grew out of the era of illegal warehouse parties — places where nobody came to be seen, nobody was looking for fame, and nobody expected to get rich.

What mattered was the music and the shared experience of disappearing into it together.

Dancing until sunrise. Losing track of time. Letting sound take over until there was nothing left but the music, the people around you, and the feeling of being part of something together.

For Raime, DJing in those moments felt almost like becoming a guide for a few hours — someone given the privilege of leading others through a journey of sound.

That feeling became deeply instilled in her and remains at the heart of what she hopes to share today.

A shared language

Ask Raime what genre she plays and the answer is not quite as simple as choosing a label.

For her, musical styles are connected by history, evolution, and constant cross-pollination.

She traces that shared language through pioneers such as Nicky Siano, Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles, through Detroit and Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, and into the deeper, more hypnotic evolution of techno in Berlin.

Laurent Garnier’s journeys from Manchester and Paris to the beaches of Goa, Paul Oakenfold’s connection between Ibiza and London, and the seamless, cinematic evolution of mood found in the sets of Sasha and John Digweed all became part of that same musical conversation.

Each step added another piece to a shared language — one that speaks to Raime, and one she tries to answer in her own way.

In the end, the music says more than words.

HOUSE. DEEP. PROGRESSIVE.

Musical traces

The artists Raime chooses to highlight add a few more pieces to the puzzle.

DJ Dan, Trentemøller, Crazy P, The Best Flutters, Pyramids of Léger, Wata Igarashi, Patrice Bäumel, Laurent Garnier, Nadia Struiwgh, GoGo Penguin, Romany Gilmour, Selador 20, James Holden and Jazzbois.

Not a strict definition of her sound, but traces of curiosity, atmosphere, groove, depth and contrast.

The art of disappearing

One of Raime’s favorite games is hiding the transitions.

Rather than drawing attention to the mechanics of DJing, she wants the listener to simply feel the moods evolve.

In her own words:

“The less you notice the DJ, the more free you are to immerse in the music.”

Her greatest reward comes afterwards, when someone tells her they enjoyed the journey.

Because ultimately, that is what she is trying to create:

Not a demonstration of technique.

A shared experience.

Live. Every time.

Every set Raime plays in Second Life is mixed live.

She never performs the same set twice. She has even tried not to play the same track twice — although, as Raime admits, some tracks are simply too good and her willpower occasionally too weak.

Every DJ has a few secret weapons.

Her setup is heavily influenced by Richie Hawtin: three Traktor decks running into an analog DJ mixer, then routed back through Ableton and a custom post-processing chain developed with her friend Pandora for streaming.

Raime puts a lot of work into planning her tracklists, but once the set begins, the mixes, loops and layers are improvised according to what she feels in the moment.

The preparation may be precise.

What happens between the tracks remains alive.
