DANNY RAMPLING BIOGRAPHYDJ, producer and pioneer Danny Rampling was one of the original ‘Superstar DJs’ and remains a true pioneer and visionary of the global dance scene. Through his legendary 80s acid house club Shoom and renowned radio shows on BBC Radio 1 and Kiss FM, Danny played a pivotal role in the development of the UK dance music scene.
In an impressive career that spans three decades, Danny Rampling has sold over a million compilation records, picked up several awards including the No. 1 spot on DJ Magazine’s famed Top 100 poll and held DJ residences at legendary clubs in Ibiza including Pacha, Amnesia, and Privilege.
Danny is regularly featured on TV documentaries for National Geographic, the BBC, MTV and many others thanks to his unrivalled music knowledge and expertise. As such, he really is a household name, and it is fair to say without his invaluable contribution, the musical landscape of the White Isle and back home in the UK would be very different.
In addition to his music career, Rampling is the author of the best-selling book ‘Everything You Need To Know About DJing & Success’ and runs his own music consultancy working on film fashion shows and TV advertising campaigns.
2017 saw Rampling appointed as a consultant and voluntary member of the Mayor of London’s night time music committee and featured in the Sky TV documentary ‘The Agony & the Ecstasy’. Spanning 30 years, this eye-opening three-part series explored the history of dance music and rave culture in the UK.
In 2018 he was asked to contribute as music consultant for a new production, penned by Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh, and re-telling the legend of the birth of acid house and rave.
He is also contributing to a new film written by award-winning screenwriter Dean Cavanagh, working title ‘Ibiza 87’, loosely based around the influential DJs Nicky Holloway, Paul Oakenfold and Danny Rampling. The production will chronicle the beginnings of the rave movement, from the trio’s fateful Ibiza trip in 1987 to the second ‘summers of love’ in 88-89.
In December 2017 Rampling’s pioneering club night Shoom celebrated their 30th anniversary with a monumental event at London’s Pulse club.
Shoom returned to Paradiso club in Amsterdam to a sell-out fantastic New Year’s celebration in 2018, and will be taken to clubs around the world throughout 2019 and beyond along with a Shoom compilation album to be produced and released in 2019.
