I’m DJ Erikk Raphael, a Detroit based DJ and producer known for high energy Afro House, Tech House, and Tribal House sets built for real dance floors. I came up in the Detroit party scene as a promoter before stepping behind the decks. That foundation taught me how to read a room fast and keep it moving.
My sound blends driving percussion, clean transitions, and steady drum pressure. I headline Haus of Pingk monthly, perform regularly with Champagne Events, and am a resident DJ on Ibiza Stardust Radio, reaching over 200,000 listeners across 220 countries worldwide. I have performed at major Metro Detroit Pride events, including Motor City Pride, Ferndale Pride, and Royal Oak Pride, as well as Columbus Pride and Electric Forest Renegade Afters. I show up prepared and lock in every set.
I perform nationally and internationally across Detroit, Toronto, Medellín, Columbus, Royal Oak, and Ferndale. I build sets that carry momentum, emotion, and release. The goal stays simple. Keep the floor moving and make the night matter.

I am the founder of Respawn Detroit Records and the creator of Obá Mystik, a story driven Afro House project rooted in culture, history, and rhythm. Obá Mystik releases exist separately from my DJ focused work and unfold as long form narrative series
Alongside Obá Mystik, I release club ready Afro House projects designed strictly for the dance floor, including Dancing Shadows, Kasbah Heat, Nomad Nights, and Rhythms of the Dunes remixes.
I also host Live Sessions, Haus WeRK, and AfroDiziak, with over ninety live sets available on SoundCloud. My music streams worldwide on Beatport, Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, YouTube Music, Mixcloud, and SoundCloud.
