Ramadanman, born David Kennedy in London, United Kingdom, is a trailblazing electronic music producer and DJ renowned for his vital role in shaping the soundscape of bass-driven dance music in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Emerging from the fertile grounds of the UK’s dubstep, garage, and techno scenes, Kennedy established the Hessle Audio label alongside Ben UFO and Pangaea, fostering a space for genre-fluid innovation and forward-thinking sound. Under the Ramadanman alias and subsequent releases as Pearson Sound, he became known for intricate and percussion-heavy productions that deftly wove together elements of classic jungle, dubstep, house, and experimental club music.
His tracks, such as “Work Them” and “Glut,” are celebrated for their meticulous rhythms and sub-bass manipulations, earning critical acclaim and regular rotation in clubs worldwide. Ramadanman’s influence extends beyond his own work, leaving a lasting mark on the evolution of UK electronic music and nurturing a new generation of boundary-pushing producers through his role as a curator and tastemaker.
