Andy Ramsay is the drummer and percussionist of Stereolab, the influential Anglo-French avant-pop collective formed in London in 1990. As a core member of the group's rhythm section, Ramsay has been instrumental in crafting the band's signature sound—a sophisticated blend of repetitive motorik beats, vintage analog synthesizers, and multilingual vocals that draws from krautrock, funk, jazz, and Brazilian music traditions.
Throughout his tenure with Stereolab, Ramsay has contributed to the band's evolution across multiple acclaimed releases on Duophonic Records and other labels. His precise, propulsive drumming provides the foundation for the group's hypnotic arrangements, complementing the songwriting of Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier. Stereolab's innovative fusion of electronic experimentation with pop sensibilities has made them pioneering figures in alternative electronic music, influencing countless producers and electronic artists across genres.
