UNITING SOULS specializes in creating world-class events designed to build community through musical and creative statement, having solidified a reputation as Seattle’s premier underground house music organization.
In the early ’90s, during his early college years in San Francisco, founder Ramiro Gutierrez drew inspiration from the communal and progressive elements which then permeated the Bay Area’s electronic music culture. In 1995, with the help of a few friends, Ramiro began producing his own events, promoting community among an emerging group of artists and musicians, while showcasing their work. By 1997, Uniting Souls was born. Ramiro worked actively through the power of house music, producing over 100 shows in SF through the late 90s, and several more in Los Angeles, quickly gaining a reputation for world-class events with down-to-earth, incredibly good vibes!
In the year 2000, Ramiro & Uniting Souls’ new home became Seattle. Since then, Ramiro & Uniting Souls have earned a reputation as “an inextinguishable accelerant of Seattle’s house scene” (Seattle Weekly 10/29/03), producing over 400 events in the Northwest, featuring top-tier local, national, and international talent. Regular rotating guests include Mark Farina, Derrick Carter, Doc Martin, Little Louie Vega, Marques Wyatt, Johnny Fiasco, Kaskade, Miguel Migs & Lisa Shaw, Inland Knights, Claude von Stroke, Justin Martin, Luke Solomon, DJ Heather, Colette, Roy Davis Jr., Julius Papp, Andy Caldwell, Mark Grant, Mazi, Fred Everything, Joshua Iz, Diz, Dubtribe Sound System, LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad, Petalpusher, and hundreds of others – keeping the vibe alive, and laying the foundation for a strong, art-minded community, one which continues to expand with the passing years.
