Biography:
As a child Raul was avidly playing the likes of The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Donna Summer and The Beatles, sprinkled with the Rancheras and Mariachis of his doting mother. His assorted collection expanded as tapes became the format of choice and Raul began to experiment with cutting and "mixing" tapes, but it was at the age of 14 that he put the needle to the record and stepped behind the decks as a DJ. Specializing in house parties, college mayhem and underground events, Raul began to rock clubs in the early nineties. Playing mostly comedy clubs and bars across Los Angeles, Raul completed his degree at – and found himself at a crossroads.
Laying his urban planning career aside, Raul followed his dream into the world of radio. In search of a more independent vehicle, he took on a position at Southern California..'s 1 public radio station KCRW. Station Program Director and mentor Nic Harcourt took heed of Raul..'s potential and he was soon filling in for On-air talent in prime time positions. Raul Campos now hosts the week-nightly show Nocturna on 89.9 KCRW as well as Saturday night..'s mega-mixes for Power Tools on Power 106 FM.
Raul Campos continues to make a name for himself as a leading tastemaker DJ, and has recently rocked the decks to sold-out venues like LA's Hollywood Bowl and NYC's Central Park Summer Stage hosting the 8th annual LAMC (Latin Alternative Music Conference) for the second year in a row. He has been billed at some of LA..'s biggest parties with many of the World's top DJs including Paul Oakenfold, Ron Trent, Static Revenger, Armand Van Helden and Mark Farina.
