► Release Info:

Label boss Ramon Tapia returns to Say What? with Superstition, a 2-tracker that brings his signature rolling techno energy into sharper, more hypnotic focus. Drawing from years of experience as a DJ, producer, and sonic storyteller, this release blends percussive depth, melodic tension, and dancefloor functionality into a tight package designed to move both body and mind.

The title track is a dark, groovy roller with a subtle mystique. A looping, low-slung bassline forms the foundation, while dusty chord stabs, filtered textures, and echoing vocal snippets dance at the edges. The rhythm pushes forward like a spell in motion — minimal in structure, but rich in detail. As the track unfolds, elements evolve with surgical precision, creating the kind of hypnotic momentum that locks dancers in for the long haul.

On the flip side, Disco Dancer flips the energy with a playful yet driving groove. This isn’t disco in the traditional sense — instead, it’s a twisted take filtered through Tapia’s techno lens. Funky stabs, shuffled percussion, and a rolling, off-kilter rhythm create a sense of controlled chaos that feels both nostalgic and futuristic. The breakdown teases a euphoric lift, but instead of exploding, it tightens the screw — pulling dancers deeper into the groove. Equal parts fun and ferocity, “Disco Dancer” is built for peak-time moments when the energy needs a bold push without losing the groove.  

PREMIERE: Ramon Tapia - Superstition (Original Mix) [SAY WHAT?]

"Reflejos" is more than a track; it is the soundtrack of a journey. Of that moment when you look in the mirror and see what is no longer there, or what you need to let go of to move forward. After a time in silence, this is my way of expressing that nostalgia that transforms into pure danceable energy. It's my voice over beats that take you from hard trance to dark pop introspection, inviting you to let go and look forward.

Thank you for joining me in this new stage.
