Biography of DJ Ruby
In the comparatively insular yet highly active Maltese clubbing scene, the talents you find behind every pair of decks within this little but full-blooded archipelago of islands bang in the middle of the Mediterranean are nothing short of talented and promising. However, talent and promise are attributes that can only be judged properly by none other than Malta's fervent Dance community. If you had to come over and ask these very same clubbers who is the first DJ that comes to mind is, chances are that the monosyllabic reply 'Ruby' comes out without a nuance of hesitation. And why you may ask? Because simply put, DJ Ruby is the most ardently followed DJ in the Maltese islands. Regardless of any sub-genre of Dance music they listen to, many would admit that the delicate assumption of 'No. 1 DJ' is deservedly his, such is the consistency that this man has delivered to dancefloors nationwide and Europe-wide too. What follows leaves no stone unturned in stating that Ruby is not a name that has just been around for a smattering of months spreading himself as a current but temporary flavor, but an institution that has evolved over 12 years of hard work, forward-thinking attitude and equally advanced talent laced with a passionate and raw drive that none on this island have ever bettered. Fact.
From his humble beginnings in the game starting out with a mobile disco together with his brother, it was the latter's untimely passing away that made him quit from the mobile disco business only to immediately return a much stronger and driven individual in tandem with a mission that carried a musical torch inherited by his singer-songwriter parents, albeit in a different format. That torch was first noticed by one of the all-time greats of the nascent and present local dance movement, David Dee, who spirited out Ruby out of the first club he ever resided in (Swiss Chalet) to one of the biggest clubs there was at the time, namely Generator. That was followed by further residencies within every club that was pivotal to the Dance music explosion that took off in the Maltese islands in the early 90's, namely Tremors, Miracles, and the still-influential Places in Malta's main entertainment Mecca Paceville, wowing everyone with his dexterity as well with his innate, energetic grasp of dancefloor dynamics and party atmosphere. But Ruby wasn't going to rest of his laurels (as if such a term can be applied to his hectic schedule!) - he transferred those very same qualities on the airwaves by simultaneously hosting a show on the late Live FM radio station, playing an instrumental part in bringing Dance music further into the mainstream in the process, as well as endearing him to a huge fan base that follows him passionately everywhere he plays to this very day.
It would take a heftily-sized book to name Ruby's full list of achievements here but, as Malta's dance scene moved on from strength to strength throughout the years right up until now, Ruby was, is, and will always be consistent and present with any international DJ that visits Malta, and not to mention some of the leading lights he has shared decks with would be nothing short of a great injustice. To mention a few, Sasha, Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto, Carl Cox, Paul Van Dyk, Pete Tong, Darren Emerson and Faithless visits to Malta were all accompanied by Ruby, as were quite many others found on DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs list such as Erick Morillo, Nick Warren, X-Press 2, David Morales, DJ Sneak and many more. When it comes to appearances with world-wide renowned dance music organizations the list is equally impressive: He is resident DJ at the regular Renaissance events which are held In Malta. Ministry Of Sound, Naughty But Nice, Cream, Godskitchen, Space, Progress, Miss Moneypennys, Tribal Gathering and even MTV have all also taken Ruby onboard on their stops to this DJ's native isles.
A special mention must also go out to the numerous list of local awards that stem from his inspirational performances both for radio and clubs from 1997 to 2003 - the year that had seen Ruby win two awards: Best Club DJ at the Malta Music Awards, and Best House DJ at the Malta DJ Awards. But the most prestigious of all came in 2004, when Ruby won 'Malta's Most Popular DJ' by the notorious TV network - MTV.
However, these aforementioned awards do not seem to be rewarded solely on Ruby's local appearances alone. On the contrary, his hypnotic blend of grooves has taken him abroad many a time, and as you read this, he might be spinning in a European club right now. Ruby's slew of European appearances took off back in January 1998 at Naughty But Nice in Hereford's Crystal Rooms back in the UK, where he shared the booth with John '00' Fleming, Judge Jules, Scott Bond, Lisa Lashes and the late, great, Tony De Vit, followed soon after by appearances across Germany and Eastern Europe for influential German label MFS. His visits to Poland in particular saw crowds hit the roof as they still do to this very day with his regular sets at Warsaw clubs together with the most prolific Progressive promoters in the country - Sentence. Those appearances are complimented further with equally regular visits to Plovdiv, Sofia and Varna in Bulgaria together with the Electrica DJ Team, the country's biggest promoters. Another international residency is bi-monthly with Eternity in Palermo, were his past gigs in the Sicilian Island already saw Ruby playing with Timo Maas, Paolo Martini (Bini & Martini), The Pasta Boys and Alex Benedetti amongst others. The Millenium Club in Bournemouth (UK) and Nightlife Club in San Antonio (Ibiza) are other clubs that Ruby has played in.
Needless to say, publicity has been instrumental in elevating Ruby's status. Besides the endless glut of interviews, mentions of constant high praise bestowed on him by a press that follows his every move as his fans do, even acclaimed European dance magazines seem to be fascinated with Ruby. DJ Mag (UK) even going so far as to knight him as 'Malta's favourite DJ' in three separate issues. But Ruby also puts his fair share of journalistic work via his 'Ruby's Vital Grooves' column, a staple yet avidly read contribution found on Malta's No.1 music Mag - Dansezee magazine.
He also holds the distinction of being the first Maltese ever to host an MTV Europe show, a one-off edition of the hugely popular 'Dancefloor Show' back in July 2002. Very recent in February 2005, famous German news TV station N24 featured DJ Ruby on one of its popular travel shows. The very proficient story showcased Malta, its culture, its party scene and everything that has to do with DJ Ruby and all his current work and projects. As for promoting, this is where this multi-talented individual shines as brightly as he does in his sets and earns his high standing within the Maltese Dance community. say hello to Pure Promotions.
Co-owned and heavily driven by Ruby himself, Pure Promotions events have steadily risen, attained and maintained a standard which has many clubbers collect and trade memories from every event that he has promoted like kids trade Pokemon cards! The reasoning behind this surreal yet legitimate observation is simple - every Pure Promotions event is a night where the guest local DJs always make sure to spin their best set yet to win the most eager and up-for-it clubbers on the Maltese islands, whilst the foreign promoters and DJs that endorse and appear in Pure events respectively are dance music giants of the likes of Renaissance and Space, whilst famous DJs include Paul Van Dyk, John '00' Fleming, Alex Neri (Planet Funk), Wally Lopez, Dr. Kucho, Pete Gooding & Luke Chable. Together with weekly clubnights all over the length and breadth of the islands, 'Ruby & Friends' bi-monthly nights are the big cherry on top of a very luscious cake that defines six years of influential yet unforgettable clubbing given by the man himself.
The present sees Ruby streaming his local schedule to three DJ residencies; weekly at Places, monthly at Sugar Shake and as well as at the spectacular open air club Zinc Club in Bahar Ic- Caghaq with their 'Sunset Sundays' weekly. Punctuated in between are guest appearances both in Malta and Europe, whilst his much - followed 'Ruby's Vital Grooves' radio show on 89.7 Bay Radio is also a weekly staple.
As for the future, part of it is already here now. Ruby's debut as an artist have just kick started with his first release outing 'Pure Stimulation' out now on Czech label F2 Recordings with other productions on the same label which are forthcoming soon. Remixing work is also already looking bright for Ruby as he has already remixed the island's most renowned singer Ira Losco.
How the rest of his career follows from here on is anybody's positive guess, but rest assured that his army of admirers and followers can really tell you where Ruby will reach next, not in words and seductive hyperbole like this biography you're reading, but in a globally recognized body language that hypnotically heaves in time to the beat of the drum - dancing. In every event where Ruby is seen behind the decks, the dancing doesn't stop..
