I play rooms where the music is part of the design. Not the background.
Sweet sixteens, weddings, karaoke, artist shows.
Sets run on original edits and unreleased material alongside the records. Nothing on a rotation playlist.
Rafael De Agua is a DJ, producer and art director working under the LIKEWTER umbrella, based between New York and New Jersey. He programs music for rooms where sound is part of the design: private events, members' venues, fashion and hospitality.
Resident at Taverna Veranda for four years running, the sister lounge to Pergola in New York. Two consecutive years on the Jersey City Fourth of July Festival, two on the Jersey City Public Library's event series, festival stages across New Jersey, and a destination set in Aruba.
Working across world music, Afro house, tech house and Latin and flamenco edits, De Agua builds sets as arcs rather than playlists. His original productions and edits run through every set, most of them unreleased and made for the room.
As a producer he writes original music, remixes and edits, and designs sonic identities and music programs for venues and brands. As an art director he carries the same eye into the visual side of every project, so the sound and the look arrive together.
