Rush Hour Music is a Dutch label which began in the late 90s as a record store in Amsterdam. It specialised in selling obscure house and techno as well as exporting Dutch records of a similarly rare status around the world. In 1999 they set up a record label and have gone on to release Dutch artists such as Kid Sublime, and international names like Carl Craig and Virgo Four. 2015 has seen some strong additions to their discography. Gerd Janson’s compilation album Musik for Autobahns 2 was released this month, which includes unreleased tracks by Joy Orbison, Leon Vynehall and Bicep. The Irish DJ Morgan Buckley, one of the most interesting figures to come out of Dublin recently, has been releasing music with Rush Hour associate, No ‘Label’, for a couple of years. 2014’s Shout Out to All the Weirdos in Rathmines, a vinyl-only four-track EP, is an intriguing mixture of lo-fi house and krautrock among other things. This year’s split EP, Shplittin’ the Shtones, released alongside “fellow Rathmines weirdo” Olmo Devin, is also well worth a listen. At a time when the genres of house and techno are being saturated with dropfests made for the festival circuit, it’s refreshing to see a label so committed to envelope-pushing.
