East London-born Ramsey, grew up on a musical diet of soul, rare groove & jazz funk. He first took to the turntables in 1985, he was also to be found on Jonathan Ross's Channel 4 music show 'Soul Train'.Ramsey's DJing started off as a hobby, but stepped up a gear when pirate stations launched in his local area Hackney. Ramsey began spinning on Defection, and Rush FM, where he was amongst the likes of Shabba D, Mixmaster Max, MC Wallace and Goldie, who would come and MC for him during his sets.Ramsey returned to his soulfuyl roots and began to spin US garage, having decided that the increasingly tight-jungle scene was hard to break into. He started a Saturday morning garage Rush FM, testing our early scene-shaping tracks from the likes of Nightcrawlers and Robin S.The show got plenty of response and Ramsey started getting bookings to play garage in the back rooms at nights 'Roast' ( along side Norris Windross, Matt Jam Lamont & Karl Brown) as well as underground garage haunts such as east London's 'Dungeons'.Ramsey met future DJing partner Dj Fen, through a friend on an off chance meeting in a local phone shop. Ramsey invited Fen on to Freek FM 101.8 (his current station at the time) . This was to be the star of th nationally known duo ' Ramsey & Fen'.Ramsey & Fen also began playing out at the station's own night 'freek in the Manor' as well as the majority of the UK garge scene's founding clubs like 'La Cosa Nostra', Zoo's ' Lord of the Underground', Rhythm Promotions 'The Breakfast Club', Sun City,Numb Nums - (as residents) and Twice as Nice' forerunner, The Arches.Ramsey & Fen decided to leave Freek FM to found their own pirate station called 'London Underground'. It was through London Underground that Ramsey & Fen got their first remix work, when the Trinity/SOUR studio and label (friend of the station's backers) asked Ramsey & Fen to provide garage mixes of Kim Mazelle's 'Big Baby' and 'Quality' which quickly became undergrounds anthems.As club DJs, Ramsey & Fen have played across the globe, reaching Japan, Switzerland, Amsterdam (playing at the massive Dance Valley Festival) Tenerife, Turkey and of course Ayia Napa Cyprus. Ramsey & Fen have always retained their love of radio, and in the late 90's the pair guested on legal stations and have delved into music TV having filmed an appearance on a Wise Buddha pilot production.Ramsey & Fen stepped up the studioworl once more, kicking off with the excellent single Favourite part of me - (featuring Pay As You Go's Maxwell D) which was soon signed onto the massive BMG label. This wasnt their first time they found themselves talking to senior executives at a major label,Ramsey & Fens classic anthem 'Lovebug' was picked up by Nebula, a sub division of Virgin Records.Although major success seemed to come easy to the duo, they still worked on their underground label 'BUG Records' linking up with up & coming artists to produce anthem after anthem.Ramsey is currently working on many more exciting projects that are due hit streets soon.
