Boyanza proudly presents “Rafael First Act @ Cercle Odyssey“, a landmark live EP from label head and sonic voyager Rafatel. Captured during his April 2025 performance at Cercle’s immersive Odyssey series, this six-track suite documents a moment of creative elevation, where genre boundaries dissolve and pure, expressive dance music emerges from the ether.
Long admired for his genre-agnostic approach and DJ expertise, Rafatel’s live set is bold, spiritual, and profoundly human. Each track serves as a chapter in his evolving story, where deep harmonic worlds, break-driven momentum, and Balearic sunbursts effortlessly combine.
“A1” gently starts the performance, with glimmering percussion and slow-blooming chords paving a path into the unknown. “A2” continues with radiant urgency, pairing birdlike sonics and immersive basslines in a track that practically levitates. The energy swells on “B1”, where Rafatel’s signature blend of breaks and melodic phrasing sending the performance skyward, before giving way to the iridescent, arpeggiated joyride that is “B2”.
On the flip, “C1” plunges into deeper emotional waters, pivoting around soulful vocal clips and a familiar yet expansive groove. Finally, “C2” serves as a warm conclusion, the afterglow of a journey well taken, where glossy textures and gliding percussion stitch together a final moment of bliss.
A beacon for Rafatel’s sonic world and Boyanza’s ever-curious spirit as a record label, “Rafael First Act @ Cercle Odyssey” is a testament to the art of live performance. Because, when done right like this, they can serve as some of the biggest inspirations: inspirations to dream, to dance, and to listen more closely.
