Ray Gunnz – Sound Engineer, Producer, and DJ

Music has always been my heartbeat. Growing up in Brooklyn — between Brighton Beach and Coney Island — the sound of music was a constant in my home. I can still remember making mixtapes with two cassette decks, recording DJ Red Alert off the radio, and getting lost in the rhythm. Once I got my hands on a pair of turntables, there was no turning back.

At 15, I started DJing at a little spot in Sheepshead Bay. From that moment on, I was hooked. I played anywhere and everywhere I could — not for the money, but for the sheer love of it. Watching people dance, smile, and forget their troubles, even for a little while, reminded me why I do this. Music isn’t just what I create; it’s what keeps me grounded.

But passion has a way of pushing you further. As time passed, I knew I wanted to do more than just spin tracks — I wanted to make them. Producing became my next chapter. Every day, I strive to learn, grow, and refine my craft. The journey isn’t always easy, but it’s one I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Now, I’m here to share that journey with you. Every beat I make and every set I perform is a reflection of my story — a story I hope you’ll join me for.

Music is my daily, and it always will be.

***Currently on a hiatus...***
A monthly radio programme on Soundart Radio celebrating the understated,  electronic underground, with the music and artists connected in some shape or form to the labels: cotton goods, moteer, mobeer and the family that orbit around them.

The original series of shows ran from 2011 to 2018 and, after a two-year hiatus, returned to Soundart in July 2020.

Special thanks to Craig Tattersall and Andrew Johnson of Moteer / Cotton Goods for their support and musical inspiration.  
Thanks to Chris, Dave & Lucinda at Soundart Radio in Totnes (twinned with Narnia), Devon.  
Former DJ at Cafe Belen, Madrid - January 1998 to July 1999. 



PS. The image is from a picture I bought in a restaurant / art gallery in Ejsberg, Denmark back in about 2006/7.   Can't remember who the artist was, apart from the intials SB  So if anyone does know her/him, then please say thank you on my behalf.
The original painting is called 'The Concert' by Gerhard Terborch (1617-1681)and depicts af girl playing viola da gamba and harpsichord. 17th century, early Baroque.
