BTR02 ~ 
Camp Butter Records is proud to present Erik Vinegar's Balsamic Bounce EP. It's the first to hoist our black label which signifies our juiced up left-field cuts (shoutout Barry Bonds).

The A side tune "Balsamic" sonically transports one to Reggio Emilia in Italy - the true origin of Balsamic Vinegar. Similar to Champagne, France, Reggio Emilia has a special “DOP” (Protected Designation of Origin) designation for balsamic. Similarly, "Balsamic" has a "DOP" designation for the dance floor.

The B side hosts "Emulsify" a crunchy electro number that is sure to leave your voicemail FULL. Also included is a special 4x4 remix of "Balsamic" by Camp Butter's own Thatcha. This backside cut brings a driving twist of citrus to the mix.

Mixed & Mastered at Mantequilla Studios in Mendocino, Ca

Erik Vinegar - Emulsify

No Go (Rik's Lefty Loosey Edit)

"Santa Cruz transplant Erik Vehmeyer aka Rik Vinegar, cofounder of the monthly Tide Swing parties at the infamous Apéro Club, shares some of his favorites beyond dancefloor centric club cuts. 
'You know those rabbit holes you go down on late night Discogs digs, or the random unknown-to-you gems you come across when sifting through the $1 bins at your local shop? Songs about everything and nothing - feelings from brisk morning drives over the Santa Cruz Mountains or a glowing Monterey Bay sunset - enjoy <3)'"

Tune into an hour of a locked groove from our pal from up north, Rik Vinegar! Erik unveils a cellar of house & breaky gems, each track carefully selected to deliver a deep, sexy, and stripped-back ride

YF 24' EP. 8 - RIK VINEGAR

some wax, some digi, two original tunes ;)

Live @ Broom & Board 2024

Join us on a cosmic journey through house, techno, and electro as we celebrate an incredible five years of our label and festival! In 2019, Adam Rose, Jake Mora, and Kieran Ishimaru united under the YOON mission, bringing the best DJs and producers to the stunning Mojave Desert. This fall, we shift gears, moving the gathering to the lush forest of Pine Valley.

Our new compilation showcases familiar friends, fresh faces, and exciting new aliases/projects from our founders and residents. San Diego and the West Coast are brimming with untapped talent, and we can’t wait to unveil the gems hidden in producers’ laptops. This album honors the past while setting our sights firmly on the future.

Obsessive digger, party purveyor, and DJ, Erik Vehmeyer is a bit of a mixed bag; and we’re not just talking about his records. Outside the booth, he carries a myriad of interests including rock climbing, mountain biking, camping, as well as a day job working as a mechanical engineer. As co-founder and resident of the Long Beach monthly Send»return , and driving force behind a series of off-grid renegade parties, clear is his passion for sharing quality dance music in places off the beaten path. This selection of cuts demonstrates his deep interest in dance culture, tying futuristic breaks with 90’s acid and forgotten classics.

Cosmic Spot 042 - Erik Vehmeyer

Had the pleasure of sharing some tunes with a select group of new friends up a dusty dirt road in Colorado. I might miss proper club nights, but there's something about standing around a campfire, listening to music entirely out of its intended context.

While this recording may have missed the first 30 minutes or so of the set, I can't think of a better way to start things off than the powerful words of Rev. Barber atop @petercroce 's crisp dance programming. Turn up, hone in, and enjoy.
