D.Ramirez’s muscular, electronic take on house music is back with a vengeance with new single “Satur8” proving that the next D.Ramirez release is always worth the wait.
 
With an autumn schedule that sees remixes of Skunk Anansi, a collaboration with Underworld and an enviable gig-list it’s with his own Slave Recordings that the true gold can be found.
 
“Satur8” is big room, riffy and of course dripping with the sort of production trickery that defines the D.Ramirez sound, but is simple in its approach and massively effective for it. The stripped back drum track provides groove while it’s the massive, old school key progression riff and ethereal vocal washes that provide the frankly massive hooks which have been igniting floors throughout the summer.
 
Jamie Stevens of Infusion, a favourite of Ramirez, has been drafted in on the remix and typically for the studio workaholic, has delivered three outstanding re-rubs. Fresh from tackling remix duties of Bookashade on Get Physical, he’s in superb form and  mixes are hard to choose between in terms of quality. The tech dub is electronic-dub inflected house which literally fills the room with heavy, bass driven sound before a massively detuned synth warbles one of the most disctinctive lead lines you’re likely to hear. 
 
The “Super8” remix continues the vibe, but stretches things into an altogether more unhurried, late night direction. The dubby skank here is complimented with a striking bass drop which breaks the track up brilliantly for those who like to throw the ‘floor a bit of a curve.
 
Stevens’ “Super Dub” combines the best of both mixes, and is the sort of cut that begs to be played peak time but retains depth and warmth. Faced with choosing which of Stevens’ mixes has been skipping between all three to create some rather epic live edits, which should provide other jocks with a lead on what to do with such an excellent package.
 
This is vintage D.Ramirez, and the beginning of a few months of D.Ramirez gold….
