Ramiro
“Ramiro is an inextinguishable accelerant of Seattle’s house scene.” (Seattle Weekly)
The global electronic music scene has grown & changed tremendously since 1997, when Ramiro first founded Uniting Souls, the event production company & record label now widely regarded as a West Coast house music institution. Over the past two decades, Ramiro has produced & performed at over 700 events in the Pacific Northwest, the SF Bay Area & beyond. Ramiro has also spearheaded the Seattle-based USM record label through several chart-topping releases, with sales in over 70 countries, and licensing agreements with some of the industry’s top labels & services. One thing that has remained constant is Ramiro’s tireless mission & vision for Uniting Souls – to build community through creative expression & art-focused gatherings, with heart-centered spaces where all feel welcome.
Through his DJ sets, Ramiro aims to uplift the vibe on the dance floor, with tracks & mixes which foster a sense of connection & raise the vibrational frequencies, reminding us to cherish the beauty of each moment as a celebration of life. Ramiro’s passion for cutting-edge, forward-thinking tracks driven by dirty, techy, funky bass lines, can’t help but spread soulful, contagious good vibes wherever he goes. Home is where the heart is.

Hexxus (https://www.facebook.com/HexxusssuxxeH) has been a member of the Bay Area rope scene for around five years and specializes in fetish and BDSM themed modeling. In addition to modeling, she has taught workshops in San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and at Burning Man. When it comes to being a rope bunny she likes to fly, spin, and swing the most, but also enjoys good floor work. She is fairly new as a rope rigger but enjoys tying ties that are clean and symmetrical while leaving all the important parts easily accessible.

TomFoolery (www.facebook.com/tomfooleryrope) uses rope bondage and suspension to express himself artistically. His 14 years as a rigger have included photo shoots, performances and workshops in Seattle, LA, Portland, Berlin, Prague, SF and at Burning Man, among other places. He finds rope work intellectually, creatively, spiritually and aesthetically rewarding. His style is a fusion of traditional and non-traditional techniques and takes advantage of unique and novel knots and patterns.
