about
MOOD II SWING
Collectively, songwriter-producer, Lem Springsteen, and composer-producer, John Ciafone work together as the production duo known as Mood II Swing. They met in the early 90s as members of a recording group where John and Lem wrote and produced tracks together. Prior to their meeting, one might consider them worlds apart. John was inspired by classical music, rock, and hip-hop. He began as a DJ and started producing music with an underground hip hop group on Long Island, New York, in the mid 80s. Lem was writing R&B songs, at a tender age and gigging a single signed to Chrysalis UK around the NY club circuit. Both, musically trained and inspired by international Pop music of the early 90s, Lem and John decided to forge their worlds and begin producing music together. Mood II Swing first started by working together on original material in the early 90s, which was well received by DJs in the NY club scene. Their sound blended different styles within dance music, which was unique at the time. Thanks to the influence of NY House DJs & veteran producers, such as Masters at Work, Mood II Swing also started remixing songs for major label & indie recording artists.
Best Records:
"Do It Your Way"
"Closer"
"I Need Your Love"
RAMIRO
As founder of Uniting Souls events, and creator of the Uniting Souls Music record label, Ramiro has worked actively over the past two and half decades to build community, through dance music gatherings and artistic expression, becoming internationally-regarded as a "Seattle house music institution" and a “West Coast legend”. During his college years in 1990's San Francisco, Ramiro became an integral part of the Bay Area's then-bourgeoning, now-legendary electronic music movement, inspired by the creative, conscious elements of the tight-knit SF community. With the help of friends, Ramiro founded Uniting Souls in 1997, producing over 50 events in the Bay Area throughout the mid-to-late '90s, gaining a devoted following, and a reputation for quality music with friendly, fun, down-to-earth vibes on the dance floor.
