VARIOUS ARTISTS - REMMAH RUNDOWN BUY: https://fanlink.to/RH011 Northern Irish DJ, Producer and label head honcho Hammer - AKA Rory Hamilton - announces a brand new Various Artists compilation titled Remmah Rundown, championing up and coming and established artists from across his musical sphere. The project will be released in March via his Remmah imprint with the first double-sided singles Sickwave – a collaboration with KILIMANJARO – and I Know from Tokyo’s Remmy. The first single to drop as a double sided track is titled Sickwave, a collaboration with the Scottish producer and DJ, KILIMANJARO. The release sees the two producers team up once again following their entry into Beatportal’s 50 top tracks of 2022 with the Tornado Wallace remix of their track Muleña; a song that proved to be that catalyst in catapulting the producer into the public eye with a debut London Boiler Room set alongside Fred Again. Raised in Scotland with familial roots in Zambia, KILIMANJARO combines his background of afro-centric rhythms and influences, infused with fast-paced energies of the western electronic scene. Known for his high-energy performances and his infectious crowd-raising persona, the past year has seen him return to the studio, bringing with him his rhythmic energy and completely unique vocal style to all of his production. Sickwave carries an infectious grooving beat that represents both of what Hammer and KILIMANJARO do so well, and is the perfect way to launch Remmah Rundown. The second single, I Know comes from Tokyo’s Remmy, an artist strongly influenced by the re-edit culture inherited from the early days of dance music, as well as disco dub and nu disco that emerged in the early 2000s. With a pure acid influence, I Know is a mesmerising track that elevates itself with a thumping bass beat accompanied by incandescent synth hooks, creating a tactile, pulsating atmosphere. Marking the label’s eleventh release, the compilation consists of heavy-hitting tracks from some of Hammer’s favourite artists new and old, highlighting Remmah as a label that supports new talent as well as building on Rory's connections to the electronic music scenes in Glasgow and Ireland, two places very close to his heart. More than half of the EPs released on the label have been debuts for the artists involved. A key component to Remmah is enhancing young creatives' work and shining a light on those who fit the Remmah ethos. Through this aspect, talents from further afield join the action, with Mexico’s ALF CHAMPION & MDHNTR, LA’s Club Tularosa and Tokyo’s Remmy all contributing their own takes on Remmah’s established sound of dynamic, italo and acid-infused, cosmic house and techno. Past Remmah artists including Anna Gram, Stevie Cox & Fossil Archive and KILIMANJARO return with brand new tracks, alongside Naum Gabo - aka Optimo’s JG Wilkes and James Savage - and Phonica’s YSANNE with her debut release. Originally dedicated to his own productions, Remmah is Hammer’s digital only label. A product of lockdown, the label has allowed Hammer to create an outlet that has provided a platform to self-release, all whilst exploring various concepts and allowing his ideas to flourish. Meanwhile, the label also explores socially conscious values, with the second release, a LP titled Fonda, doubling up as an initiative to raise money for Mind Mental Health charity during an extremely difficult time. Remmah is ready and raring to go. Tracklist: 01. Hammer & KILIMANJARO - Sickwave 02. Remmy - I Know 03. Anna Gram - The Unknown Future 04. ALF CHAMPION & MDHNTR - Hi Enerugī 05.
