The GANGSTERCAST DJ mix series comes from the I'M A HOUSE GANGSTER movement. A HOUSE GANGSTER has the undying commitment and passion for House music, they know that this music is not a trend, it's a culture. The mixes all come from the DJs that follow this culture and love and respect the sound - some are established names on the worldwide scene, some are the future stars of tomorrow, and they all represent the raw, underground essence of real House music. Each mix in the GANGSTERCAST series allows the DJ to present their own take on House music and what it means to them. Featured DJs will include DJ Sneak, Tripmastaz, Ramon Tapia, Doc Martin, The Martinez Brothers, Phil Weeks, Hector Moralez, DJ W!LD, Andrea Oliva, Arturo Garces and many others.

Ramon Tapia - The Gangstercast #03
Ramon Tapia provides episode 3 of the Gangstercast - his mix is an eclectic 70 minute journey that perfectly represents his sound as a DJ covering everything from laidback funky jams to full on jacking floor shakers.
Ramon's heritage is equally eclectic - the son of a Dutch woman and a (literally) revolutionary Chilean musician, who moved to the Belgian techno capital of Antwerp. The mix of cultures shaped Ramon's sound and his music has been snapped up by some of the finest record labels around - Remote Area, Intacto, Gem, Great Stuff, Turbo and many more. He has also established his own labels Say What? Recordings and Aella Music and can also list remixes of Paul Weller, Armand Van Helden, Marc Romboy and DJ Sneak, among others, in his discography.
Ramon has a profound love for house music, just as all true House Gangsters do - he says "House made me into what I am, so it's been like a father and a mother but in a musical way." In Ramon's words, the House Gangster movement is all about "one love, one family" and we can't argue with that!
