Raisani Records is Middle East’s first independent house record label and is an extension to the other projects Raisani Entertainment and Raisani Artist Management. The first release on the label is a double-CD mixed by Haneef Raisani and Danny Marquez (head of Barcelona based Bubble Soul Records) that has been receiving lots of attention worldwide since its release in August 2005.
The label will soon get a sub-label titled Raisani:Deep that will concentrate on branded deep house compilations. The first rleease will be "Citysounds Dubai" mixed by Haneef himself and Dubai's only deep house DJ DJ Baloo. Haneef is currently producing a track by his sister titled "Voice of an angel" that will include lyrics in farci and arabic. This track should be quite different from any english house track.
