ALI RANA – RANIUM
In a scene driven by sound evolution and cultural fusion, RANIUM is emerging as a name you need to know. The Oslo-born producer, real name Ali Rana, is not only crafting tracks that pulse with tribal and Afro rhythms—but he’s doing it while balancing a high-level corporate career and raising a family of three.
It’s not your typical artist backstory. And that’s exactly why it works.
RANIUM’s music walks the line between grounded tradition and sleek modernity. His latest track, “Raqs Night,” drops just as his collaboration with the global label Cafe De Anatolia kicks into gear. The label, known for elevating organic house and ethnic-electronic hybrids, is a perfect fit for RANIUM’s multidimensional sound.
“Raqs Night” is a masterclass in tension and subtle power. Inspired by late-night sessions and sounds collected during travels, the track centers around the zurna—an ancient wind instrument rarely heard in modern club settings. He builds layers of Afro percussion around it, not to dominate the track, but to create a hypnotic journey that gradually pulls you in and refuses to let go.
But what sets RANIUM apart isn’t just the quality of his music—it’s his mindset. With a background in global management consulting, he brings a rare level of emotional intelligence and pattern recognition to his productions. “I think in waves and moments,” he says. “Not just BPM.”
He’s also brutally honest about what it takes to break through today. “There’s so much talent out there. Getting noticed means being consistent, creating your own sound, and not being afraid to connect. A lot of my best opportunities started with a bold message.”
Partnering with Cafe De Anatolia has given RANIUM a larger stage—literally and figuratively. With upcoming performances tied to the label’s signature events and a growing international fan base, he’s stepping into a new phase—where his two worlds, music and leadership, finally align.
Expect more releases, unexpected collaborations, and music that speaks multiple languages—emotionally, culturally, and rhythmically.
“This is just the beginning,” RANIUM says. And you can already feel the momentum building.
