Eze Ramírez: "See You Soon on the Dancefloor"

From the FUTUREMAG archive. Originally published in FUTUREMAG #04 — Zamna Mexico City (November 2023).

From an early age, music has been part of Eze Ramírez's life. Growing up with national rock and popular music as the soundtrack, his musical curiosity began to take shape, but his artistic journey took him to a completely different world: electronic music.

"Music has always been present in my house since I was a child," he recalls. "My cousins listened to national rock and popular music, and somehow that influenced me."

Inspirations

Eze names Adriatique, Mind Against, Trikk, Cassian, Jonas Saalbach and Innellea as producers doing fascinating work in electronic music today. His love for different genres, from Afro to house and techno, shows his openness to musical diversity. "I always learn something from everyone," he says.

His career has been marked by the support of major figures such as Tale Of Us, Adriatique, Jonas Saalbach and Innellea, and talking about it fills him with gratitude and motivation.

An unforgettable anecdote: the chance to work with Jonas Saalbach in his studio in Buenos Aires during a tour of Argentina. "I've been a follower of his for years. I really learned a lot from him, and we had a lot of fun."

Creative process

Eze stresses the importance of inspiration and managing creativity. Sometimes he finishes a track in a single day; other times it takes weeks of painstaking work. The essential thing is not to force creativity and to let yourself flow with it.

Looking to the future

His disciplined approach and step-by-step mentality keep him focused on constant development, with exciting releases and projects on the horizon. Internationalization is another goal he's pursuing with determination, through hard work, perseverance and focus. He knows the main challenge is surpassing himself and breaking mental patterns and everyday habits. There are also artists he admires and hopes to collaborate with in the future.

Advice for new artists

"That they work, that they're consistent, that they have personality and, a very important pillar, that they're patient. Everything comes in its time."

"You believe it, you create it."

His message for FUTUREMAG readers: "See you soon on the dancefloor."
