Music from late nights in Montréal.

Dj Medallion has programmed and recorded the patterns of personal experience, influence, and desire. These songs are now at the mercy of the world and its residents... please use to provide moments of chaotic ease, where all the anxieties and pressure are externalized so you may see that it can all be fabricated and dismantled from within.

This is the first of hopefully many releases brought to you by La Rama Records, a shop located in the city from where these songs were made. If you find your self in the city, please do visit.

Dj Medallion - Bygones (La Rama Records) LARAMA001

La Rama is back on wax with two original compositions from local producer/DJ Rig Thrall. We first linked up with the Rakya crew member at the shop and soon after released his music on a limited run 10” named ‘Exit 19’ via our La Rama Dubs sub label. We kept in touch, and when an assortment of unreleased material caught our ears, we quickly jumped on the opportunity to get working on this 4th record on our label.

‘Broken Guru’ drones and grooves you through the cavernous depths, out in to the open, where the clouds part and a voice reaffirms that you are on the right path. From here we dive back into the depths, with the full confidence that this is the right path.

Thanks to two Roman legends, we have variations on the theme of ‘Broken Guru’. Marco Passarani delivers the masterful hyper dance floor club dub with his many years of experience clearly on display… play it out and you will see that this is some kind of sorcery. In speaking of magic, we are honoured to have the one and only Lory D serve us up a bass heavy re-interpretation, recorded in one pass through his live rig and edited to perfection.

‘Acidly Dose’ is the second original from Rig Thrall, an acid infused beat of the highest order with all the necessary elements to give the room a communal high.

Rig Thrall - Lost Dialogs (La Rama Records) LARAMA004

La Rama Records is proud to present four fresh feelers from our friend Bunzinelli. These tracks have weathered the storm of no-fun to provide joy and elation for the living to come... psychedelic feelings to help it all fall back in to place. Bunzinelli has been personally involved in serving sonic treats to the world via his label and mix series Chambre Noire. He was also part of the team behind Cosmic Tones which in 2019 released 'Montreal Pleiades' featuring his first musical outing alongside local major players Priori, Dust-e-1, URA, Temple's M. Salaciak & R. Weng (the wizard behind our first release as Dj Medallion).

You can trust in this one, to be shared far and wide.

La Rama is back with a 6th release, right on time for the shops 8th anniversary. Most of our energy goes in to keeping the brick and mortar stocked up + making sure the sound is right over at Montreal’s Sans Soleil… but when a friend comes through with some slammin’ tracks, we have got to make some time to get it pressed up and out in the world.

Tazz is back on wax after a short break with three high quality grooves produced over the last few years. The local DJ/Producer and dear friend of the shop took some time out to start a family after a serious stretch of releases on labels Underground Quality, Tsuba, New Kanada and his own Infected Rhythms.

We are overjoyed to present ‘Razmattaz’, a serious 12” for your crate & the return to form of a top notch music maker :-)

T1000 kicks it off, taking up the whole A side for an 11-minute ride that could just keep on thumping. Deep & dubby Techno to lock the movers and shakers in an extended moment of gentle intensity.

TWA, short for Techno With Attitude, has Tazz going at you with an anthem for bringing down the walls! May we recommend it for high volume play, working the kick bins and getting the tweeters singing.

Underground 5 is the House jam to tip the scales. A collaboration with long time friend Bacanito. You can feel the chemistry was right on the day they laid it down. Play it out, and let us know how it goes?

Mixed by Christian Pronovost (B1) & Marcelo Cruz (A, B2).
Mastered by Miguel Graça.

Tazz - Razmattaz (La Rama Records) LARAMA005

The first release on Power Trio, the new label from Ben Nevile dedicated to a return to musicality. More than 15 years ago this Montreal-based artist created many of the seminal deep, minimal tracks for labels such as Mosaic, Telegraph, Context, Background, and Vancouver’s Nordic Trax. Ben’s contributions to music extend into the technical realm as one of the programmers of Max/MSP, the signal processing environment integrated into Ableton. But as a musician in the studio, this artist’s work is intentionally not about technology. It’s about performing songs that tell a story. The three tracks on this Power Trio record are inspired by physical instruments and acoustic space. The power trio is an 808, a rhodes piano, and a bass, with stunning saxophone by Erk Hove.

[PWTR001] Ben Nevile - Power Trio EP (Power Trio)

Local artist Simon Talbot has crafted an audio representation of THE life source of the world, Sunrays.

Growing up in and around the city of Montreal, Simon's experiences at this angle to the sun have brought him in to the depths of Quebec wilderness and back to the bustling streets of the city.

Here we have the downtime, a place for introspectiveness after the party has ended and we make time for the incredible loudness of silence.

Available early April 2019 on cassette tape.
Mastered by Cristobal Urbina.
Limited to 100.

Distro EU/ROW by Syncrophone Paris.
Distro North & South America by La Rama Records Montreal.

What is the Inner Dance? A musically assisted trip through thought-movement. It is not a show, it is a party. The participation of a room full of individuals having their own personal experience. Like looking closer at the ground to see there is movement within, focus acutely and see the life within life.

@genetellem launches her own label Bienvenue Records, welcoming you to a world of sounds for all the extroverted introverts out there. With headquarters at La Rama in Montreal, we plan on assisting your journey through local & international sounds.

 For this first EP Gene lays down the foundation for what is to come. Journey agent tracks for all looking to experience the music, an extended groove, more than just a drop & repeat. 

‘Groove PM’ sets the scene, we play in the sun during the day and at night we smooth out the rigid edges of the hustle. 

’N’ You’ is here to get you in touch with your natural swing, ride on the simplicity of moderate changes and witness just how much we have. 

‘Tender As A Rhodes’ is an ode to that thing that changed it all, the universal jazz sound, dub it out, stretch it out, and watch the whole room come together. 

As the morning comes we get ‘Chipped’, dance ’til the next day comes and hit the streets with a little pep in your step. Crossing paths with your neighbours on the way home, they might not know but all who witnessed do, we who dance the night are the warriors that keep the light on in the darkness.

Thanks for joining us and please do stay tuned for more.
