You’ve been in the electronic music scene for a long time, 15 years. That’s huge, you’ve lived through many eras of electronic music. What does time teach you that success never can?
Over the years, I’ve understood that commitment and discipline are everything. Talent might open the door, but it’s consistency that keeps you in the room. And beyond that, patience and resilience, those are the real foundations. This scene is constantly evolving, and if you don’t learn how to evolve with it, you disappear.
But evolving doesn’t mean following. It means staying open, listening to your crowd, understanding their energy, while still guiding them somewhere new. I’ve always believed that an artist should be a step ahead. You’re not there just to respond, you’re there to propose, to lead, to challenge. To take people somewhere they didn’t know they needed to go.
Because the moment you become predictable, you become forgettable. Tension, contrast, risk… that’s where emotion lives.
If someone is discovering Rafael Cerato today, what should they understand beyond the sound?
They should understand that what they’re hearing is not just a style, it’s a story.
Everything I’ve experienced, every influence I’ve absorbed along the way, is embedded in my music. It’s years of digging, learning, experimenting, failing, refining. My sound today is the result of that entire journey, it carries my musical education, my evolution, my identity.
Every track holds a fragment of who I am. Not just where I am now, but where I’ve been. And I think that’s what makes music honest, when it becomes a reflection of your path, not just a product.
You’ve been releasing with Diynamic for a long time, when was your first release?
How often have you played B2B with Solomun? And how was it for you to play with him?
How would you describe your current sound?
I’d say it lives somewhere between Tech House and Indie Dance but I don’t really like to define it too strictly. There’s always a twist. I like to move between worlds, sometimes leaning into more House or even deeper textures.
For me, it’s about breaking the rules. Art and creation shouldn’t feel restricted. And I think the most interesting moments happen in between genres, in those spaces where things aren’t clearly defined.
What feels most different about you as an artist now compared to earlier years? And what has never changed about why you make music?
Time brings discipline, and discipline brings clarity.
I approach music with more intention now. There’s a deeper understanding of what I want to express, and how to translate that into sound. You become more precise, more aware, not just technically, but emotionally.
But what has never changed is the reason I started. That need to create. That curiosity. That feeling of losing yourself in a track, and somehow finding yourself again inside it.
At the core, it’s still the same impulse: to connect, to feel, and to make others feel something real.
But what actually keeps an artist alive long-term?
You’ve collaborated with some of the biggest artists in the scene. Which collaborations stand out for you, and why?
Mention the previous collabls until camelphat, pas les upcomings. Ca sera dans prochaine question.
This year you have some major releases and projects lined up. Can you share a bit about what’s coming?
