London-born, Dubai-based DJ and producer David Ramano is a rapidly rising force in the global electronic music scene. With the launch of Omkara, a visionary label dedicated to expanding the creative horizons of Afro and Melodic House, he is actively driving the sound to a worldwide audience. Omkara’s debut release, ‘The Light I Hold’, will be unveiled by David Ramano on August 1st, 2025.
Highlighting his vision, David explains that Omkara serves as a platform for both established and emerging artists, while also acting as a conscious home for his own pivotal releases. The label is committed to fostering innovation, curating groundbreaking music, and shaping the future of rhythm-driven soundscapes. Its signature style blends the rich heritage of house and techno with deep, percussive grooves influenced by African, Latin, and Eastern rhythms, a bold fusion where tradition meets modernity.
Raised in the cultural kaleidoscope of London, David’s musical roots are steeped in soulful harmonies and emotional depth. From the 1990s pirate radio scene to stages across the UK, Spain, Sweden, and Canada, Ramano has crafted a sound defined by truth, movement, and emotional resonance. As one half of the Deepologists, he honed an immersive style that moves bodies and touches hearts. Now supported by industry giants like CamelPhat, Cosmic Gate, and Atalaia, Ramano steps into a new chapter with Omkara, a label rooted in Afro, melodic, and tech sounds, distinguished by intricate layering, emotional tension, and precise structure.
David Ramano comments:
“Omkara aims to be a catalyst for immersive musical experiences, ranging from curated events to cross-genre collaborations that transcend borders. The label champions originality and authenticity, poised to elevate Afro House and related styles to new artistic and cultural heights.”
As a forward-thinking artist, David Ramano’s sound enjoys strong support from major international tastemakers. His track ‘Fall’, one of his most streamed, combines deep Afro-percussive energy with emotive melodies and has surpassed 250,000 streams, featuring on Spotify’s Afro House playlists and gaining backing from CamelPhat and others. His music, championed by artists like Artbat, Cosmic Gate, and Don Diablo, resonates worldwide across clubs, festivals, and radio shows, with over 750,000 streams on major platforms.
His previous EP, ‘The Journey of Love’, revealed his cinematic and spiritual side, reaching number two on the iTunes Dance Albums chart in Switzerland. With releases on respected labels like When Stars Align, Electric Eden Records, and EarthVox, David skillfully blends Afro House, melodic techno, and spiritual groove. The EP broadened his international audience and highlighted his growing influence in today’s electronic music scene.
Founded in 2025, Omkara is more than a boutique label; it’s a creative platform driving the next evolution of authentic Afro and Melodic House, providing a home for vibrant rhythms and deeper sonic journeys.
