Pascal Kleiman (born 19 April 1968) is a French DJ based in Valencia, Spain, who also produced music as DJ RamBam.[1]

Kleiman studied law in Toulouse, but in 1989, with the revolution of the acid house movement, Kleiman found his calling as a DJ and record producer performing and creating music for the first rave parties in France.[3] Under the name D'Scual, in 1992 he took on his first artist residency at a nightclub in Madrid called club "Attica".
