Contributing WriterRaven Records launched earlier this year and has already turned heads with its first two releases. The third comes from co-founder D.Ramirez, the Sheffield-born talent who has consistently pushed boundaries over the last few decades. He constantly innovates while drawing on house, techno, prog, and electro. As well as underground classics, he has had a chart hit with his remix of Bodyrox’s ‘Yeah Yeah’, is an Ivor Novello nominee, and continues to inspire with his work through Raven Studios and his global DJ sets.
He is in fine form here with the muscular ‘Marimboid’, a driving, gritty house cut with powerful bass. A whole ecosystem of synths and melodies unfolds up top as the turbulent groove rolls on and demands full-bodied reactions in the club. It’s a real roller coaster of a rhythm that shows D Ramirez is one of the most inventive heads in the game.
D Ramirez’s ‘Marimboid’ comes on Raven Records on October 31st, 2025
