In the summer of 1987, two Los Angeles DJs — Matt Dike and Michael Ross — converted a tiny L.A. apartment into a recording studio and started a record label called Delicious Vinyl. Championing artists from the streets and delivering music to dance floors and living rooms worldwide, the upstart label quickly made hip hop history.

Tone-Loc's "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina" were the first of three multi-platinum singles produced by Dike & Ross. Dike & Ross then launched Young MC to instant acclaim with indelible hits "Bust A Move" & "Principal's Office" from 1989's Stone Cold Rhymin' LP. Meanwhile Tone Loc's Loc'ed After Dark crashed in at #1 on the Billboard album chart.

After Matt Dike's departure in 1992, Delicious Vinyl became the sole mission for co-founder Michael Ross. Following the beats down the road less traveled, his astute signings of The Brand New Heavies, The Pharcyde, Born Jamericans, Masta Ace, and The Whoridas kept DV ruling the funhouse through the '90s.

In 2005, ten years after the release of the Pharcyde's groundbreaking Labcabincalifornia, Fatlip's solo album The Loneliest Punk sprouted the hit single "What's Up Fatlip" with its clowntastic Spike Jonze-directed video. Going from hip hop highs to soul surprises, Ross soon reunited The Brand New Heavies with original lead singer N'Dea Davenport for the 2006 album Get Used To It, its smash Stevie Wonder cover "I Don't Know Why (I Love You)" sporting a special remix by disco pioneer Tom Moulton. Delicious Vinyl also issued some of the era's best dancehall reggae, including the sizzling hit albums Pull Up (2004) and Hot It Up (2007)by Mr. Vegas.

Delicious Vinyl celebrated it 20th Anniversary in 2008. The RMXXOLOGY project starred the likes of Peaches, Aaron LaCrate & Debonair Samir, Diplo, Hot Chip, and Bobby Evans, all re-imagining the Delicious catalog for a new millennium dancefloor. The arrival of Yancey Boys, the debut album by Illa J (with beats by his brother, the late great Jay Dee aka J Dilla), kept brows razed until Illa J's Detroit homey Frank Nitt hit L.A. and dropped the love bumpin' 2009 summer single "L-O-V-E".

From its expressionistic funky music to its classic wash'n'wear logo t-shirt, Delicious Vinyl stands out for its streetwise savvy, staunch independence, and for shaping the soulsonic sound-scape of today. Ya heard!!!

音楽プロデューサーとロンドンDJ - Music composer - remixer. Ralph aka amazing squirrel soundworks, received his first keyboard and a tape recorder at the age of twelve, and started to compose and record. He is trained in classical and jazz piano as well as electric organ, and had the opportunity to conduct and compose for a school orchestra, but enjoyed most to experiment with a growing collection of 80's synthesizers, always interested in combining music and technology. Based in Berlin during the 80's, he attended training courses in synthesizer music and studio technology, including workshops by New Age musician Nik Tyndall. In the mid 80's his compositions got airplay in a radio show dedicated to the electronic music scene, and he won a youth radio prize for a 30-minute spoof documentary he created with a friend. In the late 80's he arranged a series of disco events where he presented some of his remix work, and also created radio jingles for the events. After completing an engineering degree and gaining some work experience at television channel DWTV, Ralph re-located to London in 1995, and started to blend influences from Drum & Bass and garage pirate radio stations into his own songs. After a number of collaborations with London R'n'B artists he upgraded to a fully computer-based production system, also allowing him to work on video material. With his company amazing squirrel soundworks, Ralph is now working on audio and multimedia projects, with special interest in the areas of film music and remixing. His remixes of "Niamaj - Wake Up", "Noodle the Innocent Child - Ride Wit Me" and "Deep Velvet ft Melanie Weston - Over You" recently won prizes. He also composed the soundtrack for Eddie Saint-Jean's 2012 urban drama "Capsule". Recent work includes US, UK and Japanese remixes.
