Rimmer London | electronic rumors

Rimeroni Vumani, Rimmer London and now Rimmer Veeman. Rimeroni, one third of Lé Lé, is a man of many names. Veeman comes into play in his new project Comtron. Alongside Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig (himself a musical chameleon, here going under Bas Bron, probably best knows as Seymour Bits) Veeman has just released an album of analog Electro goodness. Rimmer London has always been a favourite of ours, a pioneer of the analog Disco sound, so we’re expecting great things from Comtron.

Comtron’s 099 album is a space age, synthetic, oddessy that walks the thin line between Moroder Disco and Electro Funk, with just a hint of old school EBM and Acid. Robotic, synthetic, Funk prevails throughout the album. The B-Boy beats, pulsating basslines and stabbing House-like synth riffs are relentless in every track, from the frantic warehouse vibe of Get to the surprise KMFDM-esque growl of Corrupted. The albums standouts have to be Fraud, an epic slice of galactic Disco that pairs dark Boogie beats with a cosmic lead line for a unexpectedly euphoric result. Bust, which layers classic House hooks over a brooding, burbling Electro groove and ignites comparisons to Warp Records’ very early output. And ¥€$, the records opener. ¥€$ is definitely the track to get you hooked, both majestic and some how stripped down and raw, this is analog Disco at it’s best. Pure synths. If you like robotic sounding Disco or old school Electro, Comtron’s new release is really worth a look.

Rimer London must be one of my favourite artists around, I love the way he creates a Disco groove without heading straight down the French Touch route.

Decidedly analog and synth geek heaven, Rimeroni Vumani’s sound is exemplified on his new single ‘Put Your Gun Away’ featuring Cata Pirata. The third from his self-titled album. It’s quirky analog SynthPop with a Moroder-esque Disco vibe. From the infections riff to the vintage drums, the track conjures up images of Rimeroni surrounded by keys and wires creating dancefloor gold. There’s also a lot of fun to be had with the video, you can watch the original version here, and then had on over to Magnetron Music’s special site to become part of the video yourself.
