RUBY – A BIOGRAPHY DJ – VJ - Producer – Remixer – Promoter Intro In the comparatively insular yet highly active Maltese clubbing scene, the talents you find behind every DJ stand 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.

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 th
