Rawtekk (stylized as RAWTEƎKꓘ) is a German electronic music duo consisting of Stefan and Christine Westphal from Hamburg.
Apart from composing electronic music, they also produce music for commercial spots, image films and sound logos under the alias Noise Design. Furthermore, they develop sample libraries and demo songs for Steinberg's DAW Cubase, Halion, Halion Sonic and Sequel.
In 2011, they received the award for the best commercial music in Germany (Deutscher Werbefilmpreis).Gosee.de, (in German) German Advertising Film Award 2011. Retrieved 19 November 2015.

Career In 2001, Stefan founded Rawtekk to release drum and bass and breaks. His first release, Your Game, came in 2006 on Destination Recordings and was followed a year later with a trio of 12"s for Syndrome Audio, Citrus, and Disturbed. The couple started working together in 2011, combining Stefan’s knowledge in the production of experimental electronica, minimal techno and drum and bass with Christine's experiences as singer and songwriter. The duo acquired first recognition when Hospital Records' offshoot Med School included their track "Snowflakes" on the compilation New Blood 011, which was released in March 2011.
In 2013, they released their first album, Sprouted And Formed, on the same label. The album was featured in Vice magazine's top 5 "Best Drum & Bass Albums" of 2013. In 2014, Med School released a remix EP under the name Sprouted And Reformed which, apart from two new versions of Snowflakes, included remixes by fellow drum and bass producers Phace, Mefjus and Billain.
Their second album, titled Here's To Them, was released on 6 May 2016. In 2018, four tracks of that album were remixed by Disprove, Joe Ford, Woulg & Lbardsley and Audeka and were released as an EP on Med School.
