from Jeton Records Radio Show · host Ferhat Albayrak
Welcome to the 151th episode of the Jeton Records Radio Show! This month, we are pleased to welcome Ramon Tapia. Born and raised in Holland, Ramon Tapia's journey into the techno realm mirrors the eclectic beats that shaped his youth. Immersed in the sounds of Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Kraftwerk, and Detroit techno pioneers, his musical foundation was enriched by the dance floor tales spun by his older sisters. Relocating to Antwerp for studies, a part-time job in a record shop changed his trajectory. Teaming up with a colleague, he delved into production, crafting a tougher techno style. The late 2000s marked his emergence under the moniker Ramon Tapia, with releases on Herzblut, Craft, and Yellow Tail, defining a new school techno sound. A pivotal moment came in 2010 when he mixed a compilation for Strictly Rhythm, propelling him onto the global stage. Subsequently, he found a home in renowned labels like Remote Area, 100% Pure, Intacto, Gem Records, Great Stuff, and Turbo, remixing tracks for industry stalwarts. In 2012, he founded Say What? Recordings and Aella Music, channeling his Latin background and Dutch/Belgian heritage into a unique techno template. Ramon Tapia remains a humble artist, driven by a passion to rock dancefloors and let his music speak without hyperbole or ego. We are very pleased to host Ramon Tapia on this month's Jeton Records Radio Show with his exclusive mix. Enjoy!
