This time on the playground we welcome Ra.mod, a producer/DJ currently based out of the Sunshine state, Florida. Originally from the northeast with strong ties to his Dominican roots where he spent many summers in Santo Domingo. Ra.mod has been experimenting with dance music since 2012. Prior to his love for minimalistic grooves, his passion was Hip Hop and Latin club music. His afro-latin heritage and a curious hunger for music discovery fuels a desire to create rhythmic pieces of modern dance floor house and techno. Ra.mod is owner of Vuew Recordings along with partners Paulo and Lefthook, a vinyl only imprint based out of San Diego where he spent the last 10 years. They also collectively manage Muted Noise Recordings with H-Foundation legend, Halo Varga. His latest release can be found on OGE White (008), with another coming very soon. Keep an ear out for new music via Bandcamp where he occasionally releases edits and b-sides.
