Irfan Rainy

I'm a collector of groove music since 1986, the sound heard on the hip radio stations, record shops and clubs of Manchester ( my birthplace ), a place I helped to market simply as THE RAINY CITY since 1990 through deejaying on the club circuit in the city and even more so with my label RAINY CITY MUSIC since 1996. I've spent the last twenty plus years having fun producing House Music, Detroit influenced real Techno Music , Jazz, Latin, Brazilian music, Funk, Disco, Jazz Funk, African Music, Indian Music, film type soundtracks and Electronica etc etc. I've programmed hundreds of events and deejayed alongside many bands and in many underground clubs worldwide with so many of the greats in groove music, for example, with Questlove - The Roots, Tony Allen - the Afrobeat king, Norman Jay - Mr Rare Groove/Boogie, Roy Ayers, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Orlando Voorn - Detroit Techno/ Hip Hop DJ, Seu Jorge - City Of God, electro-funk maestro Greg Wilson and many of the top NYC Club Djs including Timmy Regisford, Joe Claussell & recently Danny Krivit at my party COMMUNITY in Manchester, now in it's in 8th year. I try to live, breathe and represent the artistic vibrations of groove music. My current resident party Community aim to highlight how dance music can be played with depth & variety without pandering to fads and show what real djs are !

Lots of my mixes are archived on Mixcloud as IRFAN RAINY. You are welcome to follow me and spread this unique music culture worldwide.
