The Exile (Rasul, DJ) Rasul Mowatt Chicago/Champaign/Indy/Raleigh Rasul Mowatt (born 1972) has been professionally DJing since ’84 under the names “Rasul, DJ”; “The Governor”; and more recently, “The Exile”. Since beginning his passion for DJing in Chicago the peak/golden era of House Music in the city, he was heavily influenced by the spirit of Frankie Knuckles, the genius of Ron Hardy, and the abilities of Lil Louis, Farley Keith and Pharris Thomas. With this in mind, he has attempted to keep these same influences in his style of House Music (Chicago, Detroit Techno, Disco, Afro, and Underground) along with other genres that uses extended blending that creates new feelings and sounds to familiar and unfamiliar tracks while respecting and breaking the rules of those genres. Further, this familiarity with music over several decades provides old and new crowds with a sense of rhythm rather than the presenting of known and familiar hits. Over the span of his career he has DJed in an opening residency at Sauers Lounge, Medusa’s, AKA’s, The Double Door, Subterranean, Divine, and the legendary Funky Buddha Lounge in Chicago as well as having DJed in New York, Miami, and London. Due to living a double life as a college professor while at Indiana University he also DJed at Blue Lounge, Revel, Coaches Tavern, The Red Room, the HiFi, and Pioneer, and now at North Carolina State University at Neptunes and King’s in his current home of Raleigh. He DJs with one focus: “What comes from the heart, will touch the spirit”. The Exile (Rasul, DJ)’s tracks Hear, Here...Ode to Sonotheque/Ode to Sean Haley (1444 W.
