Biography

Dramatic drums, tight ticking basslines and fast moving melodies: the sound of Rama originates from the italodisco and spacesynth tradition, spiced up with the influences of the European dancefloor and the late 90's trance movement. Rama, real name Markku Raski, has gathered production experience more than 30 years and is still going through various styles and projects under his own Ramamusic imprint.

Besides of writing different styles of electronic dance music, Markku has also been touring throughout Finland as Rama, performing at festivals, clubs and private venues, giving the 90's festival audience the feel of what it's all about in an energetic eurodance live show.

Rama's biggest hit "Light My Fire", produced in classic eurodance style and performed by Markku's sister Merja Raski and the Bomfunk MC's lead man Raymond Ebanks, wrote Finnish disco history in the spring 1996 by spending several weeks at the peak position in the official Finnish Dance Chart.
