David Kennedy, better known as Pearson Sound, is a pioneering British electronic music producer and DJ based in London. Emerging from the vibrant UK club scene in the late 2000s, he initially gained recognition under the alias Ramadanman, releasing influential tracks on labels such as Hessle Audio, a label he co-founded with Ben UFO and Pangaea. Harnessing elements of dubstep, techno, garage, and house, Kennedy quickly became renowned for innovative productions that showcased rhythmically complex percussion, sparse atmospheres, and forward-thinking basslines.

His tracks have been championed by both underground tastemakers and established acts like Radiohead and Four Tet, solidifying his reputation as a uniquely versatile producer. Alongside his own releases, Kennedy's influential DJ sets have taken him to leading clubs and festivals worldwide, where he is celebrated for seamlessly weaving together disparate styles and eras into immersive journeys.
