Peter Presta

Peter Presta - chances are that even if you've never heard the New Yorker on the decks, you'll have certainly heard one of his records tearin' up the dancefloor. In fact, with Peter it's almost a case of just who hasn't he worked with - Masters At Work, Danny Tenaglia, Moby, Joey Beltram, Robbie Rivera, Cevin Fisher, Ray Roc, StoneBridge, Peter Rauhofer and DJ Chus are just a few of the artists he's collaborated with or remixed. This is a man with over 350 productions and remixes to his name alreay and 2006 looks like being his best year yet.

When behind the decks or in the studio, Peter Presta is all about energy - tough tribal house and pumpin filtered grooves packed with drama and excitement that leave you begging for more. The last two years has seen his international DJ career flourish with trips to Italy , Switzerland, Russian and the UK as well as regularly rockin' the finer club in New York and throughout the USA and Canada.

Following the international success of "We Got Him" and a string of other high profile relseases in 2004, Peter has gone from strength to strength as a producer too, with his profile in Europe going sky high. "We Got Him" first came out on Swiss label Houseworks and went on to be a big international club smash and one of the bigger tribal records of the year with nearly 30 licensing deals including three Ministry of Sound compilations. It's followup, "Where is Osama?" went on to a to achieve simlar success too.

Such was the buzz around "We Got Him", in fact, that the remix work started pouring in thick and fast for the likes of Darren Hayes, Sade, Anastacia, Usher, and many more. Peter also remixed "(Reach Up For The)" Sunrise" by Duran Duran which went on to become a chart-topping record. With a pedigree like that it's no wonder that his production skills are more and more in demand.

Ramiro's style ranges from house, trance, breaks and techno, down to his greatest passion-- progressive. With his unique track selection and seamless mixing -- not to mention his boundless energy and consistent ability to move a crowd -- Ramiro has quickly become a driving force for the progressive scene throughout the DC metro area. Ramiro started listening to EDM at the age of 14 after first hearing the 1993 album United Stance of Techno. Since then, his love for electronic music has never swayed. He started spinning records for the first time in 2000 and has been going strong ever since. He's dropped tracks in bars and clubs up and down the DC metro area, including Edge, Cubik, Japone, Zazza, among many others. In addition to bars and nightclubs, you can just as easily catch him at random house parties and field events -- anywhere there is a need for quality sound and an energetic vibe.

In 2003 Ramiro joined Give Productions, and has since been active in organizing and booking talent for the Transit parties in Northern Virginia. You can catch him and the Give crew every Wednesday night at Bridges, an intimate and friendly bar in the heart of Fairfax city.
