Biography
Born Andrei Rață, Rayel first began producing records when he was a mere 13, and then began his music career officially at the tender age of 17. One would be forgiven for thinking that few people would be ready to take on the world of EDM before they're old enough to legally drive, but Ravel's second single “Aether”, wasn't just played on Armin Van Buuren's radio show A State Of Trance, but the show's listeners voted the single Tune Of The Week. Shortly afterwards, Van Buuren himself signed Rayel to his record label Armada Music, and Rayel began releasing his run of countless singles. Van Buuren isn't the only DJ that Rayel has impressed, with the likes of Tiësto, Bobina and Roger Shah dropping his tracks in sets and radio shows in 2012 alone.
2013 saw the release of Rayal's first compilation album “Mystery Of Aether”, and it was that year that saw him provide official remixes for some seriously heavy hitters, with Andy Moor, Faithless and Van Buuren himself personally requesting his services among many others. May 2014 saw the release of his debut album “Find Your Harmony”, and ever since then Rayel has continued to go from strength to strength. He's become one of trance music's most unmissable live acts, one of it's most in demand remixers and one of it's most respected producers, and at the time of writing, he's not even 23 yet. He's got his whole career ahead of him, and the world at his feet. For that, he comes highly recommended.

Although young artists seem to breaking out all the time in the genres of house and dance music, it takes an exceptionally skilled musician to make a lasting impact on the scene. Moldova's own Andrew Rayel has hit eyes set on international domination with his intelligent trance and excellent remixes of esteemed artists including Tiesto, Zedd and Armin van Buuren. He has won huge praise on the scene from critics and contemporaries so his fanbase has been building dramatically through the strength of this recommendation.
He took the decks at the age of 18 and this experience really aids in the live show. He is totally in control and knows his mixing desk inside out, giving very subtle clicks of buttons to change the whole appearance of tracks. The whole crowd is continuously bouncing along even when Andrew drops his own more chill-wave trance tracks. Fortunately as he has created so many momentous remixes of internationally recognisable hits, he has the audience with arms raised in pure joy for the likes of 'Insomnia' and 'We Bring the Love'. Watch this space as this guy seems to have everything in place to be absolutely huge.
