Many moons have passed since our silver soldier first exploded onto the scene. Traversing the globe with his trusty laptop in tow, the roving Ramirez has dispensed his razor sharp productions to unassuming dancefloors with the precision of first class marksman. Whether he’s hidden behind devilish disguises such as The Lisa Marie Experience, Cordial, Finger Fest and Rambo, or performed as the man you know best as D Ramirez, Dean Marriot has achieved more than an entire legion of lesser DJs.

He’s achieved five top 20 hits, played on every continent and single handedly coined THAT electrohouse sound. He was awarded Best Remix and Best Producer in DJ Magazine’s 2007 awards and 2006 saw him knighted as a Player Of The Year in iDJ. His remix of Bodyrox ‘Yeah Yeah’ scored him an Ivor Novello nomination while past exploits such as ‘Columbian Soul’, ‘Time Fades Away’, ‘Pleasure Me’ and ‘La Discotek’ have all achieved coveted Coolcuts and Buzz chart hotspots, championed by some of the biggest DJs in game. Hell, our hero’s even performed on Top Of Pops.

You can experience a slice Dean’s latest development with ‘Headliners’, his exciting new mix album for Azuli. A double mix CD boasting slick sonic prowess, it showcases his skill in style. A head nod to his years as a hard working resident DJ where he’d play the whole night from 9pm to 5am, he moves gracefully from deliciously deep house to grunting, shunting techno, proving his talents as a DJ are just as sharp as they are in the studio. It’s a 360° trip around his dark and dangerous world. A world where the calm and serene can become an ugly affair at the flip of a switch.

Lurking in this murky techno world are Dean’s own new productions such as ‘Sheild’, ‘Reminder Of Jasper’, ‘Physiological Rhythm’ and ‘The Road Of Excess’. Lolloping grooves abound while shuffling rhythms pound; it’s an obvious lean towards techno, but there’s still that all important D Ramirez groove where sounds have been tweaked to perfection, resonating with a unique charm that’s often imitated but never bettered.
