In our inaugural year, Almost Like We Met introduced a spectrum of sounds-each release a unique expression of the artists within our growing family. Now, some of our incredible talented friends come together to reimagine those moments, breathing new life into the music that defined our foundation in 2024. This collection being split into 2 volumes isn't just a look back; it's an evolution-an invitation to reconnect, rediscover, and experience these tracks in a new light. Join us in celebrating our first year as we set the stage for our future in 2025. 

BLK&WHT - Check It (JackEL Remix) [Almost Like We Met]

Almost Like We Met is an independent electronic music record label and management company based in Minneapolis, MN. The brand was founded in January 2024 by Tom Kench (James Ashton) and Pia Bayetti. Under the management of artist Guzbass, the brand specializes in a unique genre of house music characterized by its peculiar, funky, and quirky elements.

According to Tom Kench, the name emphasizes the idea that when a listener connects deeply with a song, it feels as if they've almost met the artist, sharing similar emotions. Additionally, the label has a subsidiary venture called Almost Doesn't Matter, venturing into the realm of left field music.
