Born in Dallas Texas, Cary Ragland, a.k.a. DJ Ragman, has spent the last 3 years refining and perfecting his craft as a DJ and more recently as a producer of trance music. He quickly worked his way through the ranks and is now one of the most sought after local DJs. Hailed as "The Dallas DJ" Ragman has transitioned the local club scene from the house beats and techno of yester-year to the high energy, variations of trance audiences demand today.
With German ties to DJ's such as DJ Dean and DJ Talla, Cary keeps his collection of tracks cutting edge and fresh with access to new music weeks before it is available in the states to other DJs. Ragman has played and moved audiences at virtually every Dallas hot spot and club. Cary has held residency at numerous domestic clubs including: Dallas~ creator of original afterhours club:Insomnia,club Seven, Cuba Libre, Area 51, Micks, Lizard Lounge, Red Jacket,and current resident at Eden Dallas newest and hottest afterhours club in Dallas; Los Angeles~ Key Club, Naked, Zodiac, Space; NYC~ Tunnel. Cary has also reached global audiences in Guatemala at Level, Extreme, Sambuca, Café Culti, and Rave. He has also had the pleasure to spin with artists such as Paul Oakenfold, George Acosta, Kimball Collins, Jon Bishop, Jonathan Peters, Sharaz, and Jackie Christie.
Spinning a unique style of German, progressive, trance and hard trance DJ Ragman is raising the standard for trance DJs. His precise timing, smooth mixing technique, and progressive song arrangement combine to deliver a powerful musical experience to his audiences. "I feel the energy of the audience and just work to keep them happy and dancing!" His unique "story-like" song progression builds energy levels with each mix and leads listeners into a deep and complex narrative designed to immerse and amaze. In a scene full of DJs who, as one promoter put it, "just play records, one after the other," DJ Ragman truly stands apart.
As a producer, Ragman also introduces his own freshly created tracks for audiences. "I no longer want to just spin the best tracks from my mentors, I want to be a mentor to give the energy I feel behind these tables to each person who comes to hear me play. I strive to keep the face of music fresh and alive." Cary's goal as a DJ and producer is to continue to revolutionize the styles and sounds of trance and spread his musical message to reach the masses.
Dj Ragman can be seen every Saturday night at Eden afterparty in Dallas!
