Ramos welcomes you.
Step inside and have a listen.
Why this name?
Type of cigar I like...apart from King Edward's (a not so catchy alternative)
Do you play live?
Now and again. Stuck in studio however.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Vinyl is the way! Unless you get me one of those nice hard drive turntable things.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
if the price was right.
Band History:
Started in the early nineties, playing around with an Amiga 500 and some shabby (to today’s standard) sequencers and production tools - you try and fit a track on a single floppy disk!
Following that I picked up the guitar in '93 and hit that hard, gaining much needed musical theory and ear whilst sharpening up the writing and construction skills. As I got older my tastes changed, but not the high tempo, and got into DnB scene about '96 but didn't start mixing until '98. After some years mixing tracks I had the urge again to get back into production, picked up a pc and lost all my spare time in one quick swoop.
