All you have to do is experience one of Kramer’s DJ sets
and you’ll be hooked. From the largest clubs in North
America to massive desert sound systems at Burning Man,
Kramer has consistently rocked crowds of thousands for
over eight years. Quickly becoming one of the prominent
Tribal DJ/Producers in the US, Kramer is a performer who
stands out way above the crowd. He brings his unique Tribal
sound to dance floors around the world: big tribal drums,
dark, sexy bass lines, rhythmic world beats and, deep
progressive synths; his sets are more than just music; they
are a journey, always bringing the crowd into their dancing
soul and to their peak clubbing experience.
With his DJ upbringing in San Francisco’s Deep House scene,
Kramer developed his own Progressive House sound and
was soon in demand in a city known for being very particular
for its taste in dance music. Clearly the scene was ready for
something new. He was soon playing gigs with big name
locals like Spesh, Jerry Bonham and Behrouz and was
quickly become known as San Francisco’s hardest working
DJ. As Kramer’s gigs started getting bigger, so did his
sound.
In 2000, after listening to a mix by the Progressive DJ he
respected most, John Digweed’s “Global Underground:
Sydney,” it was track #5, Shapeshifter’s “Flood” which
would influence him to move his music style into the realm
of Tribal. With other Tribal influences such as Danny Tenaglia
and Steve Lawler along with the Progressive House influence
of Digweed, Kramer transformed his own sound and crafted
it into the distinctive Tribal Progressive sound he currently
rocks dance floors with. Now known as much for his
energetic and animated personality behind the turntables as
he is for his music, Kramer turns any club night into “the
best night I’ve had.”
Kramer currently holds residency at one of Mexico’s most
exclusive clubs, Nectar Bar in Cancun. Additionally, in his
home city of San Francisco, Kramer has played for every
major nightclub and promoter. He is a four year resident DJ
with Release, San Francisco’s longest running club night, as
well as being a resident with Thump Radio. His newest
residency is at Base Italy Underground night in San
Francisco. Kramer has also held monthly residencies at San
Francisco’s 1015 Folsom, Mezzanine and Cleveland, Ohio’s
Moda Nightclub. Kramer’s DJ schedule is busy with
appearances around the US and Mexico.
In between nightclub shows and studio work, Kramer can
also be heard in cyberspace. His acclaimed new monthly
show United Tribal on Friskyradio.com features the top
Tribal talent from around the world. He also regularly makes
guest appearances on Protonradio.com,
Eccentricbeats.com. Kramer is also a regular on XM Satellite
Radio’s channel 80 The Move. Kramer is also one of the hand
picked members of the exclusive Balance Record Pool and
has recently accepted a position as West Coast A&R rep for
Fiberline Audio.
Kramer is co-owner of Transition Records and has several
releases on his imprint, as well as several white label
bootlegs under the moniker FreeAgent. Kramer has also
done remix work for San Francisco’s Lo-Rise Recordings and
is currently working on original tracks, as well as
collaborating with Daniel Codella of Polare and Mike Giannini.
Kramer is currently working on his first full-length release of
original tracks of his signature Tribal Progressive sound.
In 2006, Knob Records features a Kramer Remix of,
