Where to Start with Raphi

Start with this

Play 'Whisper' first. Patrick Topping collaboration, released September 2023, backed early by tastemaker Charlie Hedges. That's your first checkpoint. It's the track that made people sit up and pay attention to Raphi in the first place. Give it a full listen before you move on.

Then jump to this

Once 'Whisper' has settled in, go straight to 'Giving U', released 26 June 2026 via Spinnin' Records. This is Raphi as a solo artist rather than a collaborator. It's the gauge of where her sound is heading now. You'll hear the difference between working within someone else's framework and building her own space. Feel-good house energy, built for both festival main stages and Saturday night playlists.

The background that matters

Raphi was born in Cyprus, raised in London, trained at the BRIT School. That education shows in how polished her records sound even when they're built for a dancefloor rather than a chart run. Before she put her own name on a single in 2026, she'd already spent years writing and recording for the wider pop and dance world. Work with Patrick Topping, Armand Van Helden, Bassjackers, Laidback Luke, Mosimann, MOTi and countless others. She's not new to the studio, just new to doing it under her own name. That's why the solo singles already sound this assured.

Why they land on Frisk

Raphi's story is about earned presence. The collaborations weren't luck or accident, they were proof of craft. The solo singles aren't a debut in the real sense, they're a repositioning of someone who's been working seriously for years. If you like house and dance music that's built by people who actually know what they're doing, she's exactly your entry point.
