David Ramano Returns With New Afro House EP ‘Pleasure’
David Ramano Returns To When Stars Align With New Afro House EP ‘Pleasure’
When Stars Align welcomes back David Ramano for his three-track EP Pleasure, a deeply expressive collection moving between feel-good Afro House, darker rhythmic pressure and uplifting melodic sections. David Ramano combines intricate percussion, emotive chords and vocal textures across the EP, creating a release suited to both daytime and late-night dancefloors. The EP opens with Pleasure, a warm Afro House track driven by rich piano chords, layered synths and ethereal vocals, carrying a sunlit feel that balances its rolling groove with a smooth flow designed for daytime and sunset settings. It then moves into Broken, which enters deeper territory by combining Afro and melodic elements with a driving low-end bassline and hypnotic synth movement, bringing a tighter rhythmic focus and darker edge for peak-time moments on the dancefloor. Closing the release, My Eyes heads in a lighter and more uplifting direction through a feel-good groove, warm melodic layers and spacious vocals, carrying a strong sense of lift and connection suited to daytime parties and golden-hour transitions.
David Ramano Discusses The Meaning Behind Pleasure
David Ramano comments:
“For me, the best music exists outside of time. It doesn’t matter when it was made or what trends surround it, if it moves you, it matters. This EP was created from that mindset. I wanted each track to feel like a journey, balancing the energy of the dancefloor with something more personal and introspective. My hope is that listeners find whatever they need in these records, whether that’s joy, reflection, inspiration, or simply a moment to escape.”
Raised in London’s diverse musical landscape, David Ramano’s sound draws from soulful harmonies, emotional storytelling and the influence of underground dance culture. From the 1990s pirate radio scene to performances across the UK, Spain, Sweden and Canada, his career has developed through years of experience in clubs, radio and international venues.
As one half of The Deepologists, he developed an approach to music that connects the physical side of the dancefloor with more personal and emotional ideas. That direction can be heard throughout Pleasure, with each track covering a different part of his Afro House sound while still working together as one release.
International Support And Streaming Growth
David Ramano’s work continues to receive support from international artists including Damian Lazarus, Themba, CamelPhat, Shimza, ARTBAT, Cosmic Gate and Don Diablo.
His track Fall remains one of his most-streamed releases, combining Afro percussion with emotive melodies and surpassing 400,000 streams while appearing across key Spotify Afro House playlists. Across platforms, his catalogue has now exceeded two million streams, with his music reaching clubs, festivals and radio shows worldwide.
With Pleasure, David Ramano returns to When Stars Align with an EP that moves between warmer daytime selections, deeper club tracks and a more uplifting closing record.
Pleasure is now out via When Stars Align and is available to stream and purchase across all major platforms.
