Many moons have passed since D. Ramirez 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 the electrohouse sound. On Friday, August 7 D. Ramirez will bring his signature sound of electrohouse to a special event in Pachita, the usually exclusive upstairs area of megaclub Pacha NYC
