Ram Records

Ram Records is an English drum and bass record label founded by Andy C and Shimon in 1992.

The progressive off-shoot of Drum and Bass began to emerge and the Ram Trilogy pioneered a new sound changing the direction of the scene once again.

Ram Records is arguably the biggest and best drum & bass label of all time. Their residency at The End is more than just an institution; it defines drum & bass clubbing!

Andy C seems to be one of their more popular artists and he also founded Ram Records with Anthony Miles.

Andy Clarke began experimenting with programming breaks as a teenager; he met Ant Miles at the studios where he was working through a family connection. They began working together in Ant's converted garage studio where Andy nurtured what was to become a sublime talent for chopping up and re-programming breaks. Andy then decided to set up his own label in early 1992 with a budget of £1000. RAM - so named due to Andy's star sign, Aries - launched with his solo debut and now-highly-collectable 'Sour Mash EP'.

Drum and Bass as a whole is dominated by a small group of "hardcore" record labels. These are run mainly by some of the scene's most prominent DJ–producers, such as Roni Size's Full Cycle Records, London Elektricity's Hospital Records, Andy C’s Ram, Goldie’s Metalheadz, Dj Fresh’s Breakbeat Kaos and DJ Hype, Pascal and DJ Zinc’s True Playaz
