Biography:

Helder Amaral aka RAWAR was born in Oporto, Portugal in 1978.
He has been connected to music since a young age. A 16, he began DJing in a local club; at 18, he followed the road to heavy metal music due to the power and intense feelings the sounds had on him. One year later, he fronted his own band on vocals. But at the age of 20 he started to enjoy dark ambiance and more atmospheric sounds and started producing dark ambient music.

Then, in 2004 after a few parties with friends on the psy scene, Helder got to know the Psyence Records crew and became a close brother of Philipe Martins (Agressive Mood). They decided to join forces and produce psytrance together.

A year on, Helder started his own project, Dominus, which evolved into Rawar. Rawar has been putting his music and vibes onto dance floors around the world!

Expect power groove music filled with psychedelic elements and a power bassline.

Big boom to all, enjoy.
