Ramon Tapia - Sunka Sanka.
Ramon Tapia is definitely one of the hottest new talents in Europe. With releases and remixes lined up also on labels like Strictly Rhythm, Sci+Tec, Monique Musique and Riva Starr’s new label Snatch! his dj- and production career kick-started from zero to none. The steady support by very diverse djs from Josh Wink, Michel Cleis, Thomas Schumacher and Len Faki to Riva Starr, Joris Voorn, Sébastien Léger and 2000 And One helped him to get confidence in his stylistic path of choice.
For sure this upcoming proper debut album “Sunka Sanka” will be the next big highlight for the Belgian producer from Antwerp, son of a Chilean political refugee and a Dutch mother. Like in his earlier profession as an official gold smith, his sound scapes are pure machine made jewellery, all perfectly polished for the dancefloor.
With the exception of “I Want You”, the track he did with dutch techno legend Secret Cinema, the full album is produced by him alone in Antwerp in his tiny bedroom studio. Whenever Ramon needs to check his productions on a proper soundsystem the legendary club Café D’Anvers opens its door also during daytime.
Ramon’s music definitely makes people smile - and bounce. It’s filled with the joyous exuberance of the high octane party spirit that initially inspired Ramon to get involved when he was young. It was actually down to his two elder sisters whose musical taste had a huge influence on the youngster. Returning home from the most renowned clubs of the Nineties their gleaming eyes told tales of exuberance and liberation, making Ramon aware of the power of the electronic beats.
Completely fascinated by the sounds of Front 242, Frank De Wulf, Kraftwerk, A Split Second, Tyree Cooper and Kevin "Reese" Saunderson, it was only after his move to Belgium’s techno power capital Antwerp that Ramon started to buy vinyl and become involved in DJing. Working in a record shop while studying to be a gold smith, he realized that music was his life, subconsciously tracing his father’s foot steps.
His dad, the only other musician in the family and whose music was provocative enough to enrage the repressive military government of his home country Chile, is possibly one of the main reasons why Ramon does not get disheartened on his way to the top. “I just want to do my own thing and play.”
