Meet DJ C-Zer
I’m Cesar Ramirez, better known as DJ C-Zer—a DJ, producer, and remixer with roots in vinyl and a lifelong passion for music. Since 1996, I’ve brought that passion to dance floors across California and Mexico, from club residencies and spring break events to private celebrations.
My fascination with electronic sound began at age six with the Commodore 64. That curiosity grew into making sampled beats with Scream Tracker, experimenting with digital music, and playing percussion.
While studying Computer Engineering at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, I met DJ Rick Rock and joined Groove Productions. I started by running club lighting, then spent every chance I could practicing on a pair of Technics 1200s. In 1996, DJ C-Zer was born.
Vinyl Roots. Digital Creativity.
Vinyl shaped the way I DJ. After a break-in cost me a substantial part of my record collection, I began exploring ways to combine digital music with the feel of turntables. That journey took me from Stanton Final Scratch to Serato Scratch Live, which became a key part of my setup.
Through the Serato community, I connected with DJ Kid Jay of 99.1 KGGI. His mentorship and encouragement helped shape my path in the industry.
My radio background includes work with Party Radio USA beginning in 2003 and co-founding Super Radio Mix with fellow DJ Da Chef, where I served as program director.
From house and electro to hip-hop, Top 40, and old school, my approach is simple: read the crowd, find the right track, and keep the energy moving.
