HARD TECHNO

Biography

RAI (Niklas Richter) is an emerging DJ from Arnsberg, Germany, bringing fresh energy to the scene with his powerful blend of Hardtechno, Schranz, and White Girl Music.
The name “RAI” is the phonetic Chinese version of his surname Richter – a symbol of openness, cultural connection, and the idea that music can transcend all boundaries.

For about a year, RAI has been shaping his unique sound. His sets are driving, emotional, and full of energy — with build-ups that give you goosebumps and drops that make it impossible to stand still. What defines him most is his ability to fuse the raw force of Schranz with catchy elements from club and pop culture — a bold approach that resonates with both Hardtechno veterans and casual ravers alike.

RAI is currently part of the Sounds2feel DJ Workshop, where he’s refining his technique and personal style. His vision: Hardtechno should be fun for everyone — raw, intense, and deeply emotional.

His philosophy is clear: “I don’t play tracks below 155 BPM – energy is my foundation.”
Influenced by artists like Winson, Kuko, Kobosil, and Somewhen, RAI represents a sound that moves between pure hardness, emotional depth, and a playful wink toward the White-Girl-Attitude — a style that stands out, challenges, and connects.
