Rafael Frost (nascut pe 25 august 1981 in Amserdam, Olanda) a inceput sa creeze piese pe primul sau calculator in 1993, folosind un program numit 'Scream Tracker', care i-a oferit sansa sa experimenteze cu diferite secvente. In acest timp, el a invatat sa cante putin si la chitara, un instrument care l-a fascinat, de asemenea. In 2004, Rafael Frost este primit intr-un concurs organizat de Ferry Corsten la postul radio 3FM, si este selectat impreuna cu alti cinci producatori in finala concursului la categoria 'Best New Dance Producer Talent Of Holland' (cel mai nou talent producator dance al Olandei). In acelasi an Rafael Frost intalneste un alt producator pe nume Hugo Zwarts (Alankara). Hugo Zwarts era in acel moment ocupat cu crearea remix-ului pentru Dj Maron, 'Three Drives - Greece 2000', si astfel ii cere ajutorul lui Rafael pentru a finaliza acest proiect. 'Greece 2000' a insemnat primul vinil lansat pentru Rafael Frost. Track-ul a fost, printre altii, sustinut si de Dj Tiesto. Dupa lansarea de la Massive Drive Recordings din 2005, Rafael Frost l-a intalnit pe Joeri Lodders, managerul casei de discuri Flashover Recordings, a lui Ferry Corsten. Dupa ce asculta piesele lui Rafael, Joeri Lodders este imediat impresionat de o piesa neterminata pe atunci , intitulata 'Mute Your Mind'. Astfel 'Mute Your Mind' ajunge sa fie prima productie lansata de Rafael Frost la Flashover Recordings. Piesa a devenit un mare hit in toate cluburile din lume si a fost sustinuta de multi dj, cum ar fi Ferry Corsten, Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, Above & Beyond si a fost prezentata de Judje Jules in show-ul sau radio de la BBC Radio 1. Anul 2006 ii aduce lui Rafael semnarea unui contract cu agentia Dance Therapy, si de atunci, el prformeaza la mari evenimente ca Dance Valley (editiile 2006 si 2008), Dance Tour (Olanda), Mayday (Sankt.Petersburg, Rusia) dar si in cluburi de renume ca Sublime (Sydney, Australia), Escape @ Swansea (Londra, UK) si Vaccine @ Turnmills (Londra, UK). Dupa lansarea 'Time Out' / 'Out Of Time', Frost lanseaza 'City Fiction' si 'Worlds' pe vinil pe 27 ianuarie 2007. 'Worlds', lansata initial pe internet, a intrat in Top 40 pe Beatport.com si a primit sprijin de la Paul van Dyk, Above & Beyond si s-a pozitionat pe primul loc in Top 5 realizat de Ferry Corsten. Ca urmare a succesului sau, Rafael Frost a fost solicitat sa faca un remix pentru club-hit-ul anului 2006, Alex M.O.R.P.H. & Rank 1 - Life Less Ordinary. Acest remix a fost cotat cu 5 stele (din 5) pe Trance.nu si a fost puternic sustinut de Paul van Dyk si alte nume mari. Remixul lui Rafael facut pentru hitul anilor '80 al lui Bryan Adams, 'Run To You' i-a adus recunoastere pe scena muzicii dance. Si acest remix primeste un real suport, practic, din partea oricarui dj de renume. In afara de remixuri, Rafael se ocupa de productie si una dintre cele mai rasunatoare lansari ale artisului este 'Minimum', care a ajuns in topurile Audiojelley pe prima pozitie timp de 11 saptamani la rand. Impreuna cu al doilea sau track 'Autumn Monday' de pe pozitia a doua, 'Minimum' arata calitatile si abilitatile de producator ale lui Frost, folosind de data aceasta un stil diferit. In 2009 urmeaza superba piesa 'Red', care s-a bucurat de un real suport din partea multor dj, in special a lui Ferry Corsten, care a si facut un remix la aceasta piesa si pe care l-a lansat impreuna cu versiunea originala pe 16 martie 2009 la Flashover Recordings. Cum am mai spus, 'Red' primeste sprijin din partea multor dj, cum ar fi Armin van Buuren ( 2xASOT), Markus Schulz ( in show-ul radio Global Dj Broadcast unde este aleasa 'record of the week' pentru doua saptamani), Ferry Corsten (Top 10), Tiesto (ClubLife 101), Above & Beyond, Sander van Doorn si multi altii.Discografie
