Raj Panasa aka Beaface

Starting as an acid jazz percussionist in London's music circuit, Bearface’s career started when he visited iconic venues like 'Plastic People,' deepening his love for house music. Influenced by the sounds of Masters at Work, Mood II Swing, Ron Trent, and Chez Damier, he ventured into music production. Since then he’s gained support from a plethora of renowned DJs and outlets including DJ Mag, Mr. G, Charlie Tee, MixMag, and more. Bearface's debut release under his former moniker Bana Kuba, in collaboration with Max Mistry, titled 'Bare Brass,' marked a significant milestone in his career and really kicked things off for him. The track was KISS FM's 'Track of the Week,' leading house legend Roger Sanchez to sign it to his label Stealth Records. It was also picked up by Defected Records and Vendetta for their VA compilations. Roger was so impressed by Bearface's hypnotic house grooves that he signed several more tracks, including 'Tribal Dancing,' which became a staple in Roger's sets. His recent Drumsheds performance in October 2023 also captivated fans across the dance floors.
