David ‘Ramadanman’ hails from north London, but now lives near Bournemouth and goes to university in Leeds. He has been DJing from the age of 14, beginning with deep house and hip hop, becoming attracted to hip-hop and jungle as he grew older.

Ramadanman has been interested in music all his life, and began producing by recording keyboard songs onto cassettes. After learning how to make music on computer, Ramadanman started to use his brother’s copy of Fruity Loops at around the age of 15. He has stuck with this program ever since.

He heard about dubstep through making grime instrumentals, after several people commented that his beats sounded like it. Inspired by a Mala set after reaching FWD for the first time in April 2006, Ramadanman became involved in the dubstep scene. He made many tunes that summer after moving house, two of which he had professionally mastered at Transition Studios. These tunes were digitally released as WAVs, and were sold directly to DJs through Dubstepforum.com.

Since then Ramadanman has put out two more digital releases, and has seen his music appear on vinyl. His tune ‘Response’ was the first release on Bare Dubs, and the anthemic ‘Good Feelin’ came out on 2nd Drop Records with a Jamie Woon remix on the flipside. In late 2007 his track ‘Every Next Day’ opened proceedings on the compilation Box Of Dub 2, released by the legendary Soul Jazz Records. He has enjoyed DJ support from Skream, Kode9, Distance, Mary Anne Hobbs, Rob da Bank and many more.

Ramadanman decided to start a record label called Hessle Audio with fellow students Ben UFO and Pangaea at the start of 2007 and the first release by TRG sold out within weeks. He is involved in organizing the Leeds’ first 100% dubstep night ‘Ruffage’, as well as hosting a weekly show on internet radio station Sub FM. 2007 has seen Ramadanman DJ in UK cities such as London, Leeds, Bristol, Nottingham, York, Brighton, Cambridge, Stoke and Durham as well as international bookings in Amsterdam, Berlin and Brussels.

He has performed alongside dubstep artists such as Digital Mystikz, Skream, Benga, Kode9, D1, Rusko, Kromestar, Plastician, Mary Anne Hobbs, Heny G, Scuba and Headhunter. With more releases forthcoming on Soul Jazz as well as Hessle Audio, things are looking promising for Ramadanman in 2008.

Brilliant. Big up Rob, every one of your shows has been a highlight, just listened today to the Combat Recs one and this and, although very different, both are exceptional, not only the guests are carefully chosen but your selection is always on point too (though I'm not so keen about the Claro Intelecto LP so far

)
Gotta big up Ramadanman as well for rescueing Arawat which is one of my favorite Quest tunes

Nah, maybe more of a personal feeling than an objective fact, I probably shouldn’t have stated it like that.
I suppose it has to do with the massive saturation of these new wave dubby-intelligent-berlinmeetsdetroit-techno that has been going on lately (at least where I live), that made me think of it as just another bunch of his tracks. I don’t wanna be unfair though, I loved Neurofibro when it came out and quite enjoyed some of the Warehouse Sessions stuff, as well as most of the early Deepchord and Convextion releases, but I don’t find this kind of stuff interesting anymore, more like a little redundant. But again, it probably has more to do with personal feelings than with the music itself, and I should listen to the LP a few more times before I make an opinion, his tracks use to be growers.

Sorry for the derailing of the thread

PS-> Of course, there’s always exceptions, like that Ovatow releases last year, I loved those.

Nah man totally fair enough, you can definitely have too much of a good thing, especially with that kind of stuff. I think Claro's sound is quite different to those you mentioned before though, much more jacking and electro-y
