No Rimer or Reason


In 2008 Rimer (now under the name of Rimer London) formed an Electro-pop group called Le Le together with graphic designer/producer Piet Parra and rapper/singer Faberyayo from the popular Dutch band De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig.

Things moved rather quickly from there. They first released the single “La Bouche” shortly after their formation with a quick follow up double A-sided single called “Skinny Jeans” and “Hard” it was an instant hit, both songs found themselves in high rotation on Dutch and Belgium television and radio and the formation took off. From their they released “Breakfast” and then things go interesting with Rimer striking out on his own.

Deeply rooted in Italo and Techno it's obvious Rimer London loves the dancefloor even if he staggers to get there. With a loopy intro and a staggered keyboard, "Go Away," takes a few to get started but once it does, it just melts your face. Lush, spooky, and more importantly good, the tune is an spacey classic. "Intercity," on the other hand is Moroder stuck on a Virgin Train. The tune chugs along with an almost, "I Feel Love," vibe to it that reeks of Italo with a big giant I. It's good stuff then...unless you're stuck on a train.
