[ ::.. RELEASE NOTES ..:: ]
............................

It's hard to remember a time when DJing and travelling hasn't
gone hand-in-hand, or think of a time when it wouldn't And then
2020 happened. Suddenly, DJs from all musical quarters got a
swift reminder in what it was, that many in our globalised world
might've started to take as given. Amongst others, this
refocussed RAM's mind on the wonder of it all. To such a degree
in fact, that it's became the inspiration for his second artist
album.

Over a spectrum of references, ranging from the super-subtle to
the all-out overt, 'Wanderlust' (the follow up to his 2015
debut, 'Forever Love') celebrates this aspect of DJ culture to
its fullest degree. Each of 'Wanderlust's tracks has a unique,
travelogue-like connection to countries and cities that RAM
feels a particular affinity with. Some of those will jump out on
first contact, while others lie more subtly in the context,
awaiting the listener or clubber's moment of realisation.

Commenting on the upcoming album, RAM says For me, this was both
a personal journey through trance and a way of conveying my
gratitude for the, now, almost thirty years of DJ-travelling
through some of the world's most amazing countries. While the
theme to RAM's second artist album naturally runs
start-through-finish over its ten tracks, the way he has chosen
to imbue it ranges the spectrum.

Some focus specifically on cities, and in the most apparent and
titularly-pointed of fashions. 'Buenos Aires Angels' and
'Medellin Madness', for example need little further in the way
of clarification! Others though, like the NYC/US-champing 'Where
I Want To Be' and the Sydney-celebrating The Power Of Love'
(featuring Sarah de Warren and Susana, respectively) do so more
implicitly through their inner lyrics and artwork. 'Echoes' with
Roxanne Emery, 'What Matters' featuring Cari and the Natalie
Gioia-sung 'Forgive Me' meanwhile have their heart and
inspiration firmly rooted in Asia and the far east. Rising from
a more southerly direction is the rapacious rip of 'The Magic Of
Mexico', whose origin story couldn't be writ larger, while more
unstated is (the upcoming single) 'Turn Back The Time', which
toots the horn for Canada.
