About This Album
Ralphi Rosario, the pop album from the Philippines, arrives from an artist whose legacy stretches back to the earliest days of modern electronic dance music, a figure who earned legendary status as a DJ and producer decades before the sound crossed into the global mainstream. For more than 40 years, this pioneer has built his career on a foundation of boundary-pushing work, first stepping into widespread acclaim as a core member of the world-renowned Hot Mix Five, a collective that set the stage for his enduring fame and cemented his reputation as one of the founding fathers of house music, a genre he helped introduce to audiences across the globe. His first major breakthrough as a solo producer arrived with the international hit “You Used to Hold Me,” a track that laid bare his authentic, sharp creative talents and proved he was far more than the iconic DJ that crowds had come to know, setting the stage for a string of successful original tracks that followed throughout his career.
