From Belgium, we speak to Rani. Two years behind the decks taught RANI that the booth is also a mirror. Her debut single, “Lost In Rhythm,” balances emotion and drive, designed to work anywhere—from a packed club to a late-night drive—while holding space for memory.
A brighter From Ibiza to New York Mix salutes the nightlife capitals that shaped her. Based in Belgium with Albanian roots and releasing via Easter Egg Plant under Willem Voet, RANI steps from selector to creator, intent on a recognisable, melodic, groove-led signature.
