D. Ramirez is an artist who is consider to be the “producer’s producer.” That’s because a wide cross section of the world’s finest dance music artists are also major D. Ramirez fans and continue to support his music. From huge live acts like Underworld and Hybrid to top-draw DJs like Carl Cox, Pete Tong and Toolroom’s Mark Knight, D. Ramirez continues to impress them with his innovative productions and technical wizardry.
D. Ramirez has traveled the world as if he was on a covert dance operation. He’s fired off rockets under a bevy of aliases including The Lisa Marie Experience, Cordial, Finger Fest, Rambo, and of course, D. Ramirez. The names are not fads but reflect the artist’s ever-changing musical palette; and it can change on a dime. Although he was credited as the artist who first coined the “electrohouse” sound, Ramirez has seen the genre reach a saturation point. After some serious soul searching and shift to a new studio, Dean emerges with a tough techno and house sound inspired by the production gear he so fondly admires. If you consider his meticulous DJ mixes where loops, tricks and FX are intricately laced with exceptional accuracy or his studio methods where he’s known to tinker with noises for days on end, it’s just a case of simple, logical progression.
