becoming real is a young producer residing in a forgotten suburbia, busy channeling his very own postapocalyptic vision of london. a spectre-like entity flitting between a range of electronic frequencies, his self-termed >ghost-step< sound is as much influenced by a conceptual future dystopia as by luminaries zomby & mount eerie. re-imagining the iciest of grime synths through a warped k records aesthetic, becoming real has forged a frozen universe that still retains an unequivocally human feel. charged with future-dread, this is music for seas drowned in oil, tar-coated forest landscapes, and a prophesised world of underwater clubs and haunted dancefloors. after a sold out debut white label release last year, becoming real is ready to emerge in 2010 with the release of >fast motion< / jens clock<, backed with a scratcha dva remix of fast motion.

meet desto. we found him wandering the streets of helsinki, eating canned tuna and drinking the water from a tin of hot dogs, desperately clutching armfuls of sticky future garage. starting off in spacey 2step rhythms, falling over bassline, and breaking down into an euphoric 8 bit cascade, the epic >disappearing reappearing ink< finally reaches wax after being in the boxes of pretty much everybody all year. on the flip, >broken memory< was given its first exclusive airing by oneman on radio 1 to much acclaim, and takes more of a straight up approach, and retains all of the fluid c64 chiptune beauty.
dj support from rob da bank, oneman, brackles, sinden, floating points, clouds, mary anne hobbs.

following his chubby cheeks album for nosaj thing s timetable records, gerry is back with his new album, new junk city for ramp recordings.
musically, the suffolk based outsider-house poster boy has withdrawn from the ghetto-influenced sound of chubby cheeks, to more musical territory, sounding like the next step from his debut album jummy, keeping the jazzy samples, and adding layers of dusty synths and rolling drums.

dorset bred, bristol based kinlaw rolls out on ramp recordings with a new ep of bass heavy, fogged out sounds. new palms is a dense thicket of rolling sub kicks, fidgeting hi hats and murky atmospherics contrasted nicely by a rather brash hip-hop aesthetic.

young echo is the bristol, uk based producer collective of amos childs (jabu, killing sound, zhou), cris ebdon (ishan sound, zhou), sebastian gainsborough (baba yaga, killing sound, rei, vessel, flexible ape, panther modern), sam kidel (el kid, killing sound), joseph mcgann (baba yaga, gorgon sound, kahn) and alex rendall (jabu, killing sound).

nice price deal !!! clouds return to ramp after a long hiatus in the studio to deliver their upcoming usb islands mini-album. from the orchestral opener cannibal generals, to the tapped auto-tuned euphoria of i ll be broke, to the loose and rattling dubstep of you go to my head, finlands clouds are very much back on form.

red rackems debut ep for ramp recordings finally available!
chirpsin has had dj support from a variety of people including brackles (who played it 2 weeks in a row on his rinse fm show), sinden and axel boman.

nice price deal !!! dro carey from sydney has been making waves for a while now, as both an audio and visual artist and journey with the heavy crystallises a disconnected ambiguity that defines its own melodic path like a red carpet slowly unravelling, only to be seen to have been cut up and slashed beyond recognition.

fresh from his huge shawty 12 inch on onemans 502 recordings, teeth continues helsinkis 2011 invasion with swarm/shift/sequence/spawn. spread over 2 pieces of vinyl, teeths heavy 808s usage manages to land somewhere between early dmz & source direct. limited copies with full artwork.

la based ras g drops this double 12 inch album for ramp recordings. comes with full album on cd.

dont let the title fool you—ras g isnt any closer to our terrestrial realm than hes ever been. down 2 earth is the spaced-out la hip-hop producers most fractured, in-pieces record yet. while im the first to criticize producers who bang out incomplete sketches indiscriminately, this sort of scattershot working method seems to emphasize ras strengths. down 2 earths haphazard structuring puts the onus on concentrated morsels of fractured rhythm and blues. finding a suitable home on londons ramp recordings, down 2 earth is spread over a whopping twenty-one tracks ranging from thirty seconds to two minutes in length. with titles like -(((shrooms)))- (a tabla-heavy spazz-out) and -i love the 90s hiphop- (trumpets and airhorns!), you can guess the dominant mood here, but over the course of its many tracks the album dips from paranoid to joyous to exploratory and back to the earthy soil again, avoiding whiplash in favour of something that almost feels fluid. (theres no easy way to get from the grounded percussive virtuosity of -diiirrrrttty- to the syrup-jammed soul of -black dusty radio- to the strangled filter-funk of -fatcat.-) previous albums like ghetto sci-fi and brotha from anotha planet were scrubby, sun ra-indebted slices of deconstructed hip-hop and jazz, and the astral allegiances carry over here. the result is a record that revels in its own refusal to settle down and invites you to do just the same. (as long as you can handle the increased number of -oh! ras!- audio stamps on so many of these tracks, that is.) sure, its still quite messy, but in separating the vast array of influences and ideas present in ras gs deceptively complex music, earth lays it all out in a much more digestible manner.

after his ridiculously massive >disappearing reappearing ink< 12 inch over a year ago, desto yet again steps up to the plate with another armful of dreamy dubstep. >stay strong< marks the first wave of the helsinki invasion of 2011 from ramp, look out for music from teeth & clouds coming very soon.

limited red & gold vinyl, limited to 150 copies. this will not be repressed and is the only way to get bad autopsys >ginmixer< as scratcha dva and jam city remix!

finished copy. faltydl. jamie xx. ramp recordings. 2011. love

dj support from huw stephens, benji b & rob da bank

following his debut ep on ptn, 17 year old icelander hypno drops his second release on ramp recordings. moving away from his deep house and funky leanings of his debut, >go shorty< lands directly in the middle of contemporary bass music with juke vibrations, while >sunkin< treads a technoid wood-block path.

with the likes of gilles, benji and mary anne already eating out of the palm of her hand, its hard to believe this tokimonstas debut ep. she has been trailblazing her boom bap come glitch addled beats around america for a few years, and recently graduated from the london red bull music academy. check!

sweden, 2004, a desolate wasteland devoid of funk. a number of swedish alcoholics joined forces and cheap synths to make a new brand of scandinavian electronic funk, or skweee. what is this new kind of music i hear you ask...

super limited. ramp recordings drop a unfeasible limited 12 inch ep of exclusive beats and treats, that were given 100% free at the lightbox on the 25th of november! the vinyl features tracks from every act playing on the night. we have secured the distribution of 100 white label copies that come with a ramp sticker.

maryland resident maxmillion dunbar caught our attention on a desperately limited 7inch last year on his own future times imprint. swerving the current contrived reference points, b boy max forges his own path mixing a kaleidoscope of boogie, electro, hip hop & analog soul. maxs first ep for ramp starts with bare feet clipping sparse soul loops with epic flourishes, loveloop/socket bonus marrying cascading synths and 808s, wouldnt matter chops up a relentless boogie loops and epic disco strings, and wavs draws the ep to a close with 80s beat boxes and ramshackle synth lines.

ras g returns to ramp after last years extrasolar remix of clouds timekeeper, and recent output on bff flying lotus digital only brainfeeder label with a fresh ep of speaker popping rasta flecked hip hop sickness. residing in the left coast, ras has been godfather to the new post dilla instrumental hip hop movement, releasing various vinyl releases on his own poobah label as far back at 2005. being one of the most innovative and crazy characters in the scene, ras dusty bass humps are still bringing the realness in a massively stagnant field.

faltydl returns to ramp after the painfully deep to london, and his acclaimed love is a liability album on some other label earlier this year, with a new 12inch of sleazy 2step vibes. party gets things moving with dls most organic production to date, resonating in your brain like the jaded memory of an uncomfortable lap dance from an impromptu trip to the future. flip the wax for the warm fuzzy minimal garage vibes of alpafun, a tune that mr. lustman hates so much, he never wanted it to see the light of day. just to spite the cocky new yorker, we are putting it out...

hailing from a sect of french god fearing refugees, shortstuff is generally a nice lad, but hides a jaded past of taunting old couples, purely for his own amusement...dj support from mary anne hobbs, erol alkan, sinden, diplo, oneman, mumdance, clouds, brackles...

once upon a time, there was a band called the cure, who had a front man named robert smith...

nyc resident faltydl mashes garage, hip hop & idm together until they form a thick, silky paste and spatulas it into your ears. garage has travelled back to new york city, and its more fucked up than ever. nyg starts here. dj support comes from mary anne hobbs, benji b, martyn, kode 9, oneman, zomby, blackdown, brackles.

zomby rises from the dead once again to deliver his second full 12inch on the world altering ramp recordings, so brace yourselves for another meander down brain spazz avenue. on the lie, zomby jacks vocal samples with contempt, and strips everything back to distorted mid range drones, a lazy half step beat, and a rattling bassline. flip it over for blissed out duppy bassline voodoo house step fiend dripping like water. finally, lvs electronical dub infused rendition of the lie brings this 12inch to a happy ending like a cheap massage. artwork on this 12inch is by the wonderful kate moross. its well jackson!

strange fruit had a big record on hyperdub and is set to release on burial, minimal dubstep on a side with speaker destroying sub bass and 8bit fx, b side blurring the lines between dubstep, electro and minimal
