Having smashed into last year’s Top 100, Andrew Rayel has enjoyed another huge year. Still only 21, Rayel has continued to rack up a string of high profile sets and productions and also released his first mix compilation, ‘Mystery of Aether’, which came out on Armin van Buuren’s Armada label.

“Touring around the world and seeing so many countries and festivals has been simply amazing for me,” he says. “I’ve played events such as A State of Trance, Privilege Ibiza, Ministry of Sound, Global Gathering and club nights such as Calypso in Tunisia. Amazing experiences and memories.

And next year he’ll be maintaining that momentum with the release of his debut album.

“I’ve worked really hard on it so I can’t wait to just show it to people,” he says.

It looks like there could be a Rayel presence in the Top 100 for many more years to come.
