D.Ramirez has long been a trailblazer in electronic music, but his latest album as Raze.D, Angry Silhouette, sees him step into new creative territory. Out now on Dreamwave, this 10-track journey is a departure from club-driven anthems, delving into personal storytelling, introspection, and sonic experimentation.

With a career spanning three decades, the Ivor Novello-nominated producer has shaped dance music with game-changing tracks and remixes. This time, he embraces his roots, drawing inspiration from the 80s Sheffield scene, bands like Human League and Cabaret Voltaire, and his early years as a vocalist. The result is an album rich in emotion, concept, and depth.

Blending elements of Depeche Mode’s dark synth tones, Ultravox’s grandeur, and alt-rock’s raw energy, Angry Silhouette is as much about sound as it is about meaning. Lyrically, it questions our dependence on technology, the distractions of social media, and personal battles with self-worth.

As Raze.D describes, “It’s about reflection and confronting the world we live in. It’s my way of offering a new sound that feels authentic to both where I have come from and where I am now. This music is 100% me. The singing, songwriting, production and mixing – every beat and note is mine. Just my vision, my truth. It’s raw, it’s all personal, it’s all me.”

Tracks like Overload pulse with deep basslines and urgent synths, while Something Better layers crisp drums and soaring vocals over moody textures. The title track’s cold-wave intensity collides with expressive guitar, and Push The Fader brings industrial edge and emotional weight.

From start to finish, Angry Silhouette is a striking, deeply personal statement from an artist still evolving, still innovating, and still pushing boundaries.
