‘The Light I Hold’ by David Ramano hit all major platforms on August 2nd, 2025, doubling as the launchpad for his new label, Omkara. This London-born, Dubai-based DJ and producer has been carving his name into the electronic music scene, from his early days on 1990s pirate radio to festivals in the UK, Spain, Sweden, and Canada. His resume is stacked with over 750,000 streams across platforms, with his track ‘Fall’ racking up 250,000 alone and landing on Spotify’s Afro House playlists. His EP The Journey of Love peaked at number two on Switzerland’s iTunes Dance Albums chart, proving his knack for blending spiritual depth with dancefloor energy. Now, with Omkara, he’s channeling that momentum into a hub for Afro and Melodic House that’s already turning heads.

The track itself is a tight, pulsing blend of Afro rhythms and melodic grooves, built on deep percussive foundations and layered with soulful, emotive hooks. It’s the kind of sound that bridges continents, drawing from African, Latin, and Eastern influences while staying rooted in house and techno’s gritty roots. This is Ramano at his best: precise yet expansive, delivering a cut that’s pushing Afro and Melodic House further into the global conversation.

Backed by big names like CamelPhat, Cosmic Gate, and Atalaia, Ramano’s sound carries weight. David Ramano shared: “Omkara aims to be a catalyst for immersive musical experiences, ranging from curated events to cross-genre collaborations that transcend borders. The label champions originality and authenticity, poised to elevate Afro House and related styles to new artistic and cultural heights.”
