Ralphie Dee is no stranger to dance music when he started playing clubs all over New York in the 80s. He went from residencies at the finest hot spots like 2001, Pastels, Club B and Promotions in Brooklyn to The Palladium, The Limelight and Red Zone in Manhattan. As the 80s came to a close Ralphie focused on another love, the recording studio. Early productions, co productions and remixes like OVERDOSE by MAJOR PROBLEMS on pioneer house label NU GROOVE then producing one of the biggest house, techno records of the 90's THE REALM by CHANTEL feat PARADISE INC. and THE BLOOD OF AN ENGLISH MUFFIN all were projects Ralphie has production credit for. With the hits came DJ bookings and by 1993 he was booked to play all over Western Europe in cities like London, Amsterdam, Paris, Belgium, Rome, Zurich, Frankfurt and others. His DJ sets could be heard all over Europe on syndicated stations as well as major press from magazines worldwide. In 2002 he was approached by some old friends about starting a U.S. affiliate of a small still unknown company in the U.S. that made record bags for DJs. In 2008 that company is the most recognized brand in the world for DJ gear "UDG" Ultimate-DJ-Gear and is distributed in over 30 countries worldwide.Ralphie's label New York Grooves is a digital imprint started back in 2002 which is a vehicle for his recent productions along with his second label Mentality,available on digital download sites like I Tunes, Beatport, Xpressbeats, DJ Download, Track It Down and others.
