Rampling is a bonafide dance music visionary; a revolutionary dance music pioneer. Through his legendary club Shoom and, subsequent long-standing associations with Kiss FM and Radio 1, Rampling’s catalyst influence has helped to shape dance music for over 20 years.As a DJ for Kiss FM, Rampling extended his influence over dance music and the changing attitudes of young London. His influence spread rapidly as he toured worldwide and became a household name through his six year tenure at Radio 1 hosting ‘The Love Groove Dance Party’ and generating sales in excess of one million compilation CDs. As a result he became a brand unto himself, building an international army of fans and a vast array of high caliber business contacts.
Starting out as a scratch DJ at the tender age of 11, Steve’s musical background was rooted in the pioneering sounds of 80’s Hip-Hop when genre defining artists such as Grandmaster Flash and Public Enemy were laying down the blueprint. As part of a local Hip-Hop group in Malta, Steve met his production partner-to-be Rob Chetcuti. The pair took an interest in each other’s ‘formulating talent’ and went on to form the hugely successful production/DJ duo The Rhythm Masters. The formative years of the partnership were spent working tirelessly in the studio whilst absorbing the bountiful supply of creatively rich records that were flowing from the US before setting up their own Disfunktional Recordings label in 1995. The label was mainly a showcase for the pair’s own productions although world renowned artists such as Danny Tenaglia, Junior Sanchez, Paul Woolford, and Giorgio Moroder also contributed over the years to the labels impressive output.
