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.
