Bio
--------
**Fast Ram**'s interest in rave culture started in his teens when one random day he caught "Game Form" by Joey Beltram on his local MTV. He decided there and then that's what he wanted to do, and went head-first into the world of *Roland TB-303* basslines, rave stabs, *Alpha Juno* hoovers, high-pitched vocals and second-generation breakbeats, with the help of his trusty *Amiga* computer.
After dance music-making and performing under several aliases for over a decade, he went back to the roots, building a 90s hardware studio and revisiting the culture that inspired him the most, doing it all again from scratch.

He created *ACED*, a monthly radio show mixing sounds that navigate the space between acid, rave, electro and IDM, while DJing at clubs and raves with 30+ years old *Amiga* computers and *PT-1210*, a custom *Amiga* software he conceived in 2012, mixing his own productions with music dug deep from the *Amiga*'s rave archives of the 90s.
While still also DJing with standard club gear and working on a new live hardware audiovisual setup, he's been producing non-stop, releasing tracks on various labels like ***Sismo***, ***Machine Cult***, ***Acid For Trans Health*** and ***Gyration Station*** while sporadically having mixes at global radios like ***IDA Helsinki***, ***Operator*** and ***Foundation FM*** among others.

Traveling the world to share his particular take on the rave sound, he has played in renowned clubs across 5 continents like ***Sugar Factory***, ***Webster Hall***, ***Le Zoo***, ***Ekko***, ***Koenji High*** and others, plus festivals like ***Bang Face Weekender***, ***Creamfields***, ***Strøm***, ***Onedotzero*** or ***Ilmiö***, bringing his journey full circle when being on the same bill as key figures of the rave scene old and new.
