RAMP 068EP

Presided by Tom Kerridge, Girls of the Internet is one of a few new projects Kerridge dug into having spent over a decade running labels such as RAMP, Fourth Wave and Brainmath. Girls of the Internet's latest single "Love Delicious" features legendary Chicago vocalist Peven Everett. This single is Pev's first venture into the studio since his standout feature on the Gorillaz album, Humanz. Remixes come from Sully, who drops a dubby, retro UK garage version, and Saine.

Originally released digitally on Luke Solomon and Derrick Carter's Classic Music Company in the summer of 2017; Girls Of The Internet's deep-house-dub-techno-Afro ballad "When U Go" is now being pressed up to vinyl on RAMP Recordings. Peckham's finest pervayers of deep house, duo FYI Chris, turn in an exclusive dubby West Coast-vibed remix. The B side is a brand new track from Girls Of The Internet -- "Running" featuring Nattlie Maddix of the House Gospel Choir. "Running" is a soulful yet driving disco-tinged deep house track. Local Action's Finn delivers a genre-straddling remix of "Running".

Following his Chubby Cheeks album for Nosaj Thing's Timetable Records (2016), Gerry Read is back with his new album, New Junk City for Ramp. Musically, the Suffolk based outsider-house poster boy has withdrawn from the ghetto-influenced sound of Chubby Cheeks, to more musical territory, sounding like the next step from his debut album Jummy (2012), keeping the jazzy samples and adding layers of dusty synths and rolling drums.

Hailing from Dorset and residing in Bristol, English producer Kinlaw (aka Hamish Trevis) works in a photo lab by day, like Seymour Parrish in One Hour Photo (2002), and by night produces some of the most exciting hip hop England has produced since Hudson Mohawke's first tracks were uploaded to Myspace. His first collection of tracks for Ramp, New Palms Part 1, ranges from low-slung meditative rhythms to bass-heavy speaker-blowing hip hop. Kinlaw cuts and splices hazy field recordings with 144p YouTube rips while sprinkling his tracks with shiny drum hits, referencing R&B and trap through his dreamy skew.

Ramp welcomes Birmingham-based Filter Dread into their warm bosom. "A lot of my inspiration comes from early rave productions and the quick and unapologetic techniques that were used to make tracks. Short sampling space, limited save functions and other restrictions lead to music that I find to be very pure, energetic and creative." With a digital-only single on Visionist's Lost Codes, and the FACT-championed Space Loops cassette under his belt, Ramp would like you to acquaint yourself with the kaleidoscopic grime of the MIDI Space EP.

Known to his mother as Yemi, Blacksmif grew up in South London and was surrounded by jazz, R&B and gospel from a young age. Moving onto garage, drum & bass and dubstep through his adolescence, he manages to shoehorn all of these influences into his music. "My Own Blood" sees the young producer make his vocal debut over a minimal house beat, with percussion reaching a crescendo, then falling away -- underpinning his stark vocal about his relationship with his brother.

Following from 2012's critically-lauded album TIMETIMETIME&TIME, Kansas-based experimental producer and sonic auteur YYU (pronounced: "why why you") releases his first 12" single for UK-based powerhouse Ramp. Advancing on his home-spun sound that sees the producer utilizing field recordings of live instrumentation and heavily-effected, pitch-shifting vocal refrains -- occasionally sounding like James Blake making garage rock -- alongside modern, hip-hop leaning production techniques. The title-track features chopped-up room ambience, tiny snippets of vocal utterances and snatches of noise filling out the focused, minimal sound. The flip features an emotionally-charged folk song about time and death.

Ramp are ecstatic to announce Nochexxx's debut album Thrusters. Beginning his career in 2010 with "Smashing Your System," featuring Jungle Brother Sensational on Werk Discs, and Ritalin Love/Timepiece for RAMP, NCHX has kept his discography lean. Keeping his head out of the scene, NCHX has built a castle of delirious arpeggiators and intertwining bass lines which recollect the rich synthesized lexicon of Drexciya and the prismatic glory years of Zomby. Thoroughly funky and profoundly nasty, Thrusters is a producer pushing himself to the next level, generating a kaleidoscope of sound that is all his own.

Double LP version. Young Echo formed and broadcasted their first radio show in 2010. Its members met growing up in and around Bristol, and became close through a shared enthusiasm for electronic music. Young Echo counts Kahn, Vessel, Jabu, El Kid, Zhou, Ishan Sound, Killing Sound, Gorgon Sound, REI, and Baba Yaga members of the collective. Launch-pad for the careers of Zomby, SBTRKT, and many others, RAMP is very proud to announce Young Echo's debut album Nexus. Unmistakably from Bristol, the group would be hard-pushed to avoid comparisons with Portishead and Massive Attack. While sharing sonics with the former, and the gang mentality of the latter, Young Echo update the Bristol Sound with the collective knowledge of dubstep, grime, techno, and garage.

Red Rack'Em enters the warm embrace of RAMP with Chirpsin/All Alone. Red Rack'Em has been honing his skills with a handful of singles on his own Bergerac label, which have been strongly supported by the RAMP office. As bass music has evolved, Rack'Em's dubby, druggy take on house music has become more and more relevant and the signing to RAMP seemed fitting.

RAMP proudly presents the first release on the label from Dro Carey. Coming straight outta Sydney, Australia, the DroC has been actively freaking people out with his Brain So Soft Tumblr, earning him a place in FACT magazine's "Ones To Watch" in 2011. Journey with the Heavy is written as a love letter to early house music, showing a new, fresh, focused approach to his sound. His music lands deep in the Atlantic, equidistant from both the rhythms of modern day London and the yearning, dulcet harmonies of Detroit.

Ramp presents the first release on the label from Belgian-beatmaker Cupp Cave. Following a series of astounding releases on labels like Thin Consolidation and Vlek, his debut for Ramp comes in the shape of Retina Waves -- a mini album not conforming to any genres or parameters. Part hip hop. Part house. Part brash and colorful. Part ghostly and distrait. Cupp Cave is François Boulanger, whose experimental beats and broken hip-hop stand out as some of the most rich and innovative among today's electronic hip-hop producers.
