Bristol-based DJ and producer Borai has been a quietly influential figure in UK underground dance music for over a decade. Renowned for his genre-spanning DJ sets and productions, he moves effortlessly through techno, jungle, acid, hardcore, garage, and house, referencing the roots of rave culture while continually pushing forwards. Borai first emerged on the scene with a string of acclaimed releases on labels like Hotline Recordings, Happy Skull, and Shall Not Fade, gaining wider recognition through his collaborations with fellow Bristolian Denham Audio.

Their 2019 track "Make Me" became an undeniable anthem, fusing classic breakbeats and euphoric hardcore energy with a modern sensibility, and spearheading a new wave of UK breakbeat revivalism. A resident at Bristol’s lauded club night Dirtytalk, Borai has built a reputation for his adventurous, encyclopedic DJ sets that capture the hedonistic spirit of pirate radio and warehouse culture, while showcasing a DJ’s depth of musical knowledge. As a producer, his releases are characterized by a deft touch with sampling, punchy drum programming, and a knowing sense of rave nostalgia balanced with forward-thinking production.

Beyond his solo work, Borai is a respected engineer and mastering specialist, shaping the sound of countless releases from the UK’s most exciting new talent. Unconcerned with trends or hype, Borai’s focus remains on championing the sounds he loves, continuously evolving while staying true to the spirit of the underground.
