Record label
Ram is an independent record label established in 1992 by Andy C with the help of close friend Ant Miles. It is one of the major labels specialising in drum and bass .
The label and business today is run Andy C and business partner Scott Bourne (Red One).[ 1] Ram Records is multi award winning organisation for its label activities, the music it releases, and the artists it has signed over the years.[ 2] As well as Ram's musical output, the label is also very well known for its club nights.[ 3] This all started at the nightclub 'The End', and lasted 11 years till the club's closure in December 2008.[ 4] Moving on from The End to super-club Matter in February 2009, Ram's attendees tripled from 1000 to over 3000 people within 2 months and lasted till Matters closure in June 2010.[ 5] Ram's new home is Fabric nightclub in Farringdon, London. In 2002 RAM launched a sister label called Frequency. RAM launched another sister label to celebrate a double decade of RAM. The label is called Program & is a different taste of music compared to RAM. The first release was by Frankee with the songs Firethorn & Pandorum which is on the B side. [ 6] In 2013 Program will release its first volume called Programed, it features songs from Nitri, Audio & Meth, EastColors and Paul B.
