Raka: Performing Artist in New York

About Raka

Raka is a New York City–based DJ who has appeared at Honeys, working in settings that favor close listening over spectacle. Their sets have shared lineups with Laila Amira, EAMMS, GRID, Al-Ahrar, KOLO, Jackie, and Spiral Eddie, including the event For Palestine: GRID, Al-Ahrar, & DJs Against Apartheid. They move between club function and community-centered programming, with an approach that privileges pacing and transitions. In collaborative bills, Raka tends to serve the room rather than dominate it.
