DF TRAM

"I used to be the Nightcrawler

shaking the hands of time.

Now I'm the Lounge Lagarto

and out of the subway, I climb.

From San Francisco to London Town.

My head slightly above the underground.

I'm an audio relic, a tad psychedelic,

still searching for that perfect sound.

With 11 new songs to get over the hump,

one about Brexit and one about Trump.

But enough of that lingo.

We're all set for Bingo.

So come along after the jump..."

DF Tram is a highly regarded music producer, artist, and DJ, celebrated as a leading figure in the global downtempo electronic scene. Known for his meticulously crafted audio-visual performances, DF Tram’s sets are immersive experiences, blending music with cinematic storytelling.

Recently, DF Tram toured the U.S. with legendary electronic act The Orb and released his critically acclaimed album, Serenitay Infinitay, on the renowned Liquid Sound Design label. Written and recorded in his San Francisco studio, the album was finalized at the label’s London headquarters with the guidance of producer and label head Youth (of Killing Joke fame). This ambitious project is a sonic tribute to ambient, spoken word, crate-digging, and psychedelia. Featuring 11 tracks, the album includes remixes by The Orb and The Irresistible Force—two acts that heavily influenced DF Tram’s signature collage style.

Serenitay Infinitay showcases an array of international talent, including Japanese vocalist Coppe’ Sweetrice on “Honeycomb,” singer Lina Fouro on “Stellar by Starlight,” and celebrated Maltese pianist Clifford Borg on “Thousand Knives.” Youth’s bass contributions add an extra layer of depth, culminating in a genre-defying journey through ambient, dub, and experimental soundscapes. Beyond his music production, DF Tram is known for his innovative multimedia collages, blending sound and video to transport audiences to realms beyond music. His creative output extends to collaborative projects like Black Gauge, Jefferson Shulgin, The Sound Capsule, Jump/Cut, and Vellochord.

DF Tram has performed at some of the world’s most iconic electronic music events and venues, including Glastonbury, Bestival, The Big Chill Festival (UK), Niceto (Buenos Aires), Chillits (San Francisco), and Ozora (Hungary). In 2008, he was honored with a nomination in the Downtempo/Eclectic category at the Ibiza DJ Awards, solidifying his reputation as a pioneer of the genre.

Looking ahead, DF Tram’s next album will be released on Orbscure, the label helmed by Alex Paterson of The Orb, promising yet another groundbreaking chapter in his storied career.
