Raul Campos (Nocturna, KCRW) and Jake DeVere
aka Brothers Behind the Light

Raul Campos - Bio
A native to Los Angeles embodies the spirit of the city. He hosts the week-nightly show Nocturna on KCRW, the station at the heart of LA’s music scene as well as Saturday night’s mega-mixes for Power Tools on Power 106 FM, the longest running underground mix show in Los Angeles. Working On-air has been a dream of Raul’s since childhood. 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 is also in great demand as a club DJ and has been billed at some of LA’s biggest parties with many of the worlds top DJs including Paul Oakenfold, Ron Trent, Static Revenger, Armand Van Helden and Mark Farina. He can also be found spinning at various special events around the country for clients such as Jaguar, Nokia and Fredericks Of Hollywood. Raul has also opened for musical acts including Stevie Wonder, Martin Gore of Depeche Mode, Sheila E, Supreme Beings of Leisure and Lionel Richie. He is currently busy producing music with his production partner Jake DeVere. Known as Brothers Behind the Light, they are currently slotted to release their first E.P. featuring The Supreme Beings of Leisure and F.A.M. on Binary Soul. Raul Campos has the soul and the drive to put Los Angeles on the map.

Jake DeVere - Bio
Producer and DJ, Jake DeVere, has been providing soulful and uplifting dance music for crowds along the West Coast for over ten years. Beginning his craft in college, he and a friend managed a college radio station in Spokane, Washington. Together they pioneered a new sound through the live mix show House is Home. DeVere’s next step was to open a dance club in Spokane called Club London that became the biggest house club in the city. This unique venue managed to provide an outlet for many local DJs to be heard, as well as showcasing National talent.

Jake’s first forays into LA were at clubs such as House of Blues, Sky Sushi, The Wonder Bar and Wank, promoted by Steven Melrose, owner of record label, City of Angels. Through DJing, DeVere was able to hone his production skills by assisting the already established artists, Static Revenger, author of Happy People, and Pete Lorimer (29 Palms) who is currently in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most number one remixes by a single producer. After touring the US with Richard Vission, the two went into the studio to produce the Solmatic Records release I Said. Following I Said, Jake released a number of remixes including Stevie Wonder’s Another Star, The Toyes’ Smoke Two Joints, and remixes for The Cooler Kids and Static Revenger. 2003 saw DeVere join remix forces with Raul Campos of KCRW’s Nocturna and Power 106’s Powertools. Together, as Brothers Behind the Light, they’ve remixed numerous artists including Jill Scott, Angelique Kidjo, Iffy, George Sarah and Bob Marley. They are currently slotted to release their first compositions featuring The Supreme Beings of Leisure and F.A.M.
