I like House-music too! Nice remix Ramiro.

This week is a celebration – the one year anniversary of the detroit.dance live mix series. I am so thankful for all of the support from you over the last year! I love finding up and coming artists, and people that you may not know about that you should. It is important to showcase the individuality of each artist as well as showcase their mixes, which is what I aim to do with each interview and feature.

The one year anniversary mix is by The Bernabela Project – a duo consisting of Ramiro & Nicole Bernabela. This is a full circle moment, as I had Ramiro on for the very first mix.

Check out their interview and other content at www.detroit.dance

Get Physical is thrilled to share another take on an old Roland Clark classic. From Roland himself:  'The song WTF derived from a piece I wrote entitled I Get Deep back in 1999. The entire piece is an observation of how the house music club scene had changed from my earlier years of being organic and pure to something disingenuous. The people were still packing the clubs but the dance moves went from a flowing big hommage to the track that was playing to a movement of the body just for the sake of the movement. The tune is primarily from a dancer’s perspective and frustrations. Hence the line, “THEY KNOW WHAT IS WHAT, BUT THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT IS WHAT, THEY JUST STRUT, WHAT DA FUCK’. For this release Santé has delivered his own take on the track. In his remix, he reduces the track to the basics, and adds a bit of electronic honey on top. Lush synths and driving percussion support the iconic vocal in a fresh way.

Ramiro Bernabela - Satisfaction (Original Mix) snippet

To kickoff our mix series, we selected Ramiro Bernabela. Ramiro is a Dutch DJ mainstay that has now made his home here in Detroit. Ramiro was born outside of Rotterdam, Netherlands and moved to the city of Groningen when he was 10 years old. He developed a love for music at an early age, playing his first synthesizer at age 12. He bought his first pair of turntables and began DJing at age 18 and played at parties and clubs in Groningen and Amsterdam for many years. He was the Saturday night resident DJ in De Golden Arm, the biggest dance club in the northern Netherlands, for 7 years. He was a regular guest DJ at De Melkweg in Amsterdam, and was a monthly resident DJ at Amsterdam's famous afterparties in Club Zoo in the early 2000s. Since moving to the U.S., Ramiro has made a name for himself in Detroit and had a bi-weekly residency at Grenadier Club, a monthly residency at The Works, and a monthly residency at Marble Bar.

In 1998 he started learning about music production and making special edits to use in his DJ sets. Since then, he has been perfecting his production skills and building up his studio. He uses various drum machines and analog synthesizers in his productions to give them an organic sound. Ramiro has a very individual style of combining many different types of elements together and not following the standard genre rules, giving his productions a unique and interesting sound. He co-owns the record label group AudioBite Records that was started in 2009 together with his wife Nicole. 2015 was a great year production-wise for Ramiro, having 2 original tracks in the Top 100 at both Beatport and Traxsource, "How Low Can You Go" featuring Mr. V, and "Life After House," a collaboration with house legend Roland Clark. Ramiro regularly releases on his own labels and has also had releases on System Recordings, Todd Terry's label Inhouse, Roland Clark's label Delete Records, Spring Tube, and Chuck Love's label Love Network. In 2020, Ramiro has releases coming out on Planet E Communications, AudioBite Records, and he is currently working on his first full-length album.
