Benjamin Stefanski, best known by his artist moniker Raffertie, is a British composer and music artist whose work meanders between his classical music training with experimental electronic production. From his early days creating electronic music—championed by Mary Anne Hobbs and released on labels Planet Mu and Ninja Tune—to his acclaimed film and television scores for “I May Destroy You” (2020), “The Substance” (2024), and “The Continental: From the World of John Wick” (2023) Raffertie’s practice is shapeshifting.

With his latest double single, ‘Atlas and Can’t Stop,’ Raffertie continues his sonic exploration, conjuring chaos, urgency, and catharsis into his music. In our conversation, he shares the instinctual nature of his creative process, the oscillation between sound and visuals, and the experience of scoring for Coralie Fargeat’s visceral body horror film, “The Substance.”
