The school’s state of the art Les Paul Studio, created thanks to a grant from the Les Paul Foundation, opened in 2016 serves as the primary production and mastering facility for Ramix releases. Ramix Volume 2 features hip hop/R&B tracks from Omiette, Brendan G and Empty Matrix,   by JRIFTR,, and indie rock from solo artists Hadar Baron, Brady Bock, and Dani Zanoni. Three rock bands are represented including Callout, This Year’s Comeback, and Pink Lemonade, a group from the UK whose members are currently exchange students at Ramapo from Anglia Ruskin University. All of the music was written and performed by the student artists, and many of the recordings were produced in the school’s on-campus recording and production facilities.
