Dreamstate SoCal 2016 | RAM

In honor of #TranceGiving, aka Dreamstate SoCal 2016, we want attendees to have the opportunity to get to know the talent who will be our “Trancegiving Tour Guides”. Each week, we will feature bio’s of four Dreamstate DJ’s as well as a set from one of their latest events or some recent releases so you can get to know them better. Next in our series is… RAM!

RAM:

Ram Boon, known in the electronic music world as RAM, started in the scene during the late 1990s as one-half of the hard trance duo Ba & Ram. After a multiyear run, the duo decided to split and in 2009 he began his solo career. That same year the Dutch trance DJ created the massive hit RAMsterdam and the rest is history! One of the best parts of this first hit is that it sparked a series of productions that included “RAM” in the title. What started as a joke has become one of his trademarks. Since RAMsterdam, he has released amazing uplifting tracks such as RAMazing, RAMplify and RAMbition. He’s also released non-RAM titled tracks such as Grotesque (ft Alex M.O.R.P.H.) Mirakure (ft. Arctic Moon) and Heartfelt, among others. RAM’s tracks have been released via multiple mega trance labels such as Armada, FSOE, AVA and Enhanced. RAM is also the resident DJ for Grotesque and hosts multiple events around the world. Through Grotesque music, he hosts a weekly trance radio show.

Stream Episode 241 of Grotesque via SoundCloud:

In 2013 RAM suffered the sudden and tragic loss of his wife Amelia. From this loss came RAMelia, one of the most heartbreaking songs in trace history. I openly admit that this track makes me cry every time it is played. It is a very touching raw track that is a beautiful expression of his sadness and pain. What’s even more touching is that RAM himself has stated that RAMelia is likely his most-requested track. He’s noted that the track evokes tears and emotional responses from the audience which in turn typically makes him emotional as well. He always brings the uplift feels but he’s also great at producing electro and progressive sounds. I’m looking forward to hearing what he brings to Dreamstate!
