After releasing several albums in the 2000s, german music magazine Intro described RAFTSIDE as "a mix of The Strokes and Kraftwerk"... Over the years RAFTSIDE has played numerous showcases and concerts with different musicians, sharing the Festival stages with The Streets, Idles, Daft Punk, Cat Power or Metronomy… By the end of 2021, Filip Markiewicz aka RAFTSIDE released his album and visual concept « Ultrasocial Pop » on Berlin's label Grzegorzki Records. Inspired by 70s Krautrock, 80s new wave and 90s breakbeat, the songs were recorded on analogue synthesizers in his home studio in Hamburg. The result is a concept album that echoes recent events.

RAFTSIDE presented a first performative version of the « Ultrasocial Pop » project during the Rencontres Internationales Paris / Berlin at the Louvre Museum in February 2021. Markiewicz also directed and composed recently the soundtrack for his staging of « Euro Hamlet » at the Lausitz Festival in 2021 with N.U Unruh (Einstürzende Neubauten) and Lars Neugebauer. Filip Markiewicz is accompanied for the RAFTSIDE live acts by the drummer Lars Neugebauer.
