Made Event presents
D. RAMIREZ
w/ Sleepy & Boo
@ Cielo

Made Event presents the return of  one the UK’s finest, D. Ramirez along with Basic NYC’s own Sleepy & Boo at Cielo on Thursday, February 25th, 2010.

Many moons have passed since D. Ramirez first exploded onto the scene. Travelling the globe with his trusty laptop in hand, the always moving Ramirez has dispensed his razor sharp productions to unassuming dancefloors around the globe, all with the precision of a first class marksman.  With a career that spans the better part of a decade, Ramirez has achieved top 20 hits, performed on every continent, as well as developed the sound which single handedly coined the term “electrohouse”.  Currently, Ramirez has deviated from this trademark style and has been at work with the intricate sounds of deep house and techno. To him, this feels like a natural progression.   These are now the sounds where he finds melody and soul within the heart of the machines he loves so much.

D. Ramirez latest EP, ‘Nitr8’ is a complex structure of these rhythmic sounds brought together with a tight arrangement that shuffles along in true Ramirez style. Every sound is tweaked to perfection which provides listeners with a rich audio experience.  The release features two original cuts, “Nitr8” and “Devi8or”, two prime examples of the powerful, muscular sound the British producer extraordinaire has made his trademark in recent years.

Made Event presents
D. RAMIREZ
w/ Sleepy & Boo

As featured in Time Out New York this week:
http://www.timeout.com/newyork/articles/clubs/26001/made-at-cielo

Made Event presents UK electrohouse sensation D. RAMIREZ with Basic NYC’s Sleepy & Boo at Cielo on Friday, February 1st, 2008.

Dean Marriott’s (aka D. Ramirez) first venture into production was in mid-90s with partner Neil Hinde, under the pseudonym Lisa Marie Experience. After a successful release of “Keep on Jumpin” (including a Top of the Pops appearance), Dean had a change of path and went from the commercial side of music down to the underground. Thus the D. Ramirez moniker was born. Since then labels such as Yoshitoshi, Choo Choo, Phonetic, Thrust, Junior, Whoop!, Lot 49, Four:Twenty and Toolroom have been clamoring for D.Ramirez material and producers such as Tom Stephan (Superchumbo), Deepgroove, Mark Knight, Max Linen and Meat Katie have all been lining up to work with him. His remix of Bodyrox “Yeah Yeah” was a bonafide breakout hit, reaching #2 in the UK national charts and #1 in Spain. In 2007, D. Ramirez was named DJ Mag’s Best British Producer and Best British Remix 2006 (for “Yeah Yeah”). His debut mix CD for the Ministry of Sound Sessions was an electro-house monster with tracks from Stephan Bodzin, Claude von Stroke and Oliver Huntemann as well as a selection of Ramirez’ own productions and remixes.

The new double CD Rewind / Fast Forward (Slave Recordings) mixed by D. Ramirez and his label prodigy Kristoph is stacked with D.Ramirez productions and remixes featuring exclusive, un-released & re-edited tracks including remixes of Roger Sanchez, Plump DJs, Ferry Corsten and Peace Division. It’s a fantastic collection of music that underlines the importance of his productions over the last decade. With a new artist album on the horizon and talks of a live show for next year, things aren’t letting up anytime soon.
