USA January Tour Blog

News — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:43:28 +0000

After a busy Christmas and new Year it was straight back to the USA for more touring and to work on a very special top secret (for now) music project! After playing in Denver and Vegas I headed to Los Angeles for one of my favourite nights in the whole world – Monday Social at the Playhouse. It really was an amazing show, you can see some photos from the night here. Since then I’ve been hanging out in LA, in the studio and talking to students at the Icon Collective with Mark Knight, there’s such a great energy and vibe in that place. I still have two shows to go on this tour, Chicago and Miami – I can’t wait!

Asia / Xmas / NYE !!

News — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:54:40 +0000

Wow, its been a crazy few weeks! First stop was Asia, 4 gigs in 4 days – I wasn’t sure how it was going to be with all the travelling but it was amazing – super friendly people, amazing food, great parties and cheap living, whats not to like!!! Bangkok is one of the craziest cities in the world, I absolutely love it, it’s so different to anything I’ve ever experienced before. So apart from the damn Mosquito’s and the constant worry of falling asleep in airports and missing my flights I had an amazing time and I cant wait to return in 2012. Hmmmm, relocate to Los Angeles / Bangkok ??
I flew back on Christmas Eve and managed to get back in one piece. There was barely enough time to enjoy an amazing Christmas lunch with Mark Storie and his family though as I was flying straight out Christmas Day on a private jet (which is the only way to travel) to Bulgaria with Mark Knight for a Toolroom party which was nuts. I was really pleased to have some time off afterwards and I had a great time with my family and finally managed to catch up on some much needed sleep and I did try to go to the gym but I was more interested in eating Christmas leftovers and putting my feet up. That was until New Years Eve when I had to set off for the Toolroom party in Edinburgh which was another amazing night and thanks to everyone who came to see in 2012 with us all… I’ve just spent the last few days in the studio on a new production for Toolroom Records which I’ve just finished and am very excited about and now I’m off again for a month in the US. First stop is Mexico for the BPM festival in Playa Del Carmen, then studio time in LA on my secret project and a few amazing shows in the US to boot, can’t wait to spend time with all my friends in California…. here’s to another amazing year everyone!!!!

NYE

I’m really looking forward to playing in Edinburgh for New Year’s Eve with Mark Knight & Mark Storie as part of the Toolroom Knights 5th Birthday tour! Buy advance tickets here.

Toolroom Selector Series – out now!

News — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:52:05 +0000

D.Ramirez selects his top 15 highlights from Toolroom’s extensive catalogue, combining his own classic productions ‘Mash Up Ya Ego’, ‘8 Bit Trumpit’ and the timeless ‘Downpipe’ with anthems such as Wolfgang Gartner & Francis Preve ‘Yin’, F.L.G ‘Amplifier’ and ‘Budgie’ from Funkagenda. Alongside these essential tracks, D.Ramirez mixes them up into a full length DJ mix. Buy now at Beatport / iTunes

“It was an absolute honour and pleasure to be asked by Toolroom to mix their next selector series. I’ve been working with them now pretty much since the beginning so to be able to feature some of their early work as well as my early productions particularly in collaboration with Mark Knight was a real high point for me. The mix represents my current DJ sound as well as featuring some of the bigger moments from previous years. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did putting it together. ” D.Ramirez

North American Tour pt. 2!

News — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:24:33 +0000

I was sad to leave LA after a great week there but definitely excited to be off to New York to play Pacha with Mark Knight. It was off the hook in there, Mark Knight killed it, but it’s all about the opening set right?! Not sure how I got so drunk afterwards but it ended up with a lost phone. I guess it was only a matter of time, I’m surprised I kept it for so long! You can see photos from the night (and some of the other shows I played on the tour) over at my Facebook page

The next night it was Voyeur in San Diego, which I’ve now realised is possibly one of the best clubs in the world, I love that place!

I’m now back in the UK. What an amazing North American Tour that was! I think i must have a 4 leaf clover stuck up my ass …..
This weekend: Avalon in Singapore & Ellui in Seoul, let’s go!

North American Tour so far!

News — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:23:32 +0000

I had a great start to my North American tour, the first night was at Rogue in London, Ontario (check the photos!), then it was a night called ‘This Is London’ in Toronto (see the video below) then it was off to The Mid in Chicago. What an incredible weekend! I am now back in my favourite place on earth (LA) and I even made it out on Monday to see Mark Knight play at The Monday Social.

Next up, Pacha NYC and then Voyeur in San Diego. Until then I have some time in the studio… : )
