Ragz, aka Raghav Mani, is an LA-based DJ and record collector. He has been a regular guest DJ at LA’s raucous Heat-Wave and Pleasure of Love parties (when parties were a thing) and has a monthly radio show, 'Up There', on eastsideradio.org. In addition to his monthly show, he has been a regular guest on NTS, dublab, Radio Meuh, and NuNorthern Soul All Stars to name a few. An obsessive crate digger, he travels the world seeking out lost and forgotten-about groove-based music. Along with Filip Nikolic (Poolside, Turbotito), he is the cofounder of Naya Beat Records, a reissue and edit label focused on uncovering rarities and oddities from the subcontinent and South Asian diaspora.
