Last month we wrote about Kevin Starke, whose Kstarke Records store lends its name to his in-house record label.
This month, Chicago’s Gramaphone has announced a rejuvenation of its own in-house imprint. Gramaphone Records (the store) is re-launching Gramaphone Records (the label) some three years after its debut (Lil Louis’ “Fable” remixes, as a co-production with Diamond Records) with A New Room.
Produced by Gramaphone buyer and Queen! resident DJ Garrett David, the EP features four tracks of the kind of shit we love – lots of chords, twisting melodies and drums that sound like they’re bringing down the ceiling.
A New Room dropped on January 19, available right now at Gramaphone (2843 N. Clark Street) and gramaphonerecords.com.

Sounds nice! “Tunnels” is my fave.
