Irma Records was founded and is still based in Bologna, Italy.
The origin of the Irma name is quite peculiar, to say the least The same building where we started business in 1988 was once a famous Bologna brothel, Irma Casa Di PrimOrdine (Irma First Class House), hence the name of our oldest label.
In those days the few existing Italian independents were dealing with rock, but one day a young A&R/musician (Umbi Damiani) and a general manager with a solid experience in record distribution (Massimo Benini) formed a production team together with a bunch of promising DJ's and musicians from the area. Among them Claudio Moz-Art Rispoli, future founder of Jestofunk, Cesare Collina aka Tito Valdez, Cesare Black Mighty Wax Cera, Checco Montefiori (Kekkotronics, Montefiori Cocktail) and Luca LTJ Trevisi (LTJ X-perience).
In the beginning there was house: deep, soulful and often with funk or breakbeat influences, revolutionary for those days. During the years Irma became one of the creators of the so-called chill out sound and then of the lounge/cocktail/easy listening movement. To continue as one of the first labels outside the UK to release compilations of early jazzy jungle/drumnbass and trip hop. To become producers of successful rare groove and acid jazz compilations and among the spearheads of the bossa explosion.
In the new century Irma has discovered, among the others, Max Sedgley, already a legend in the UK thanks to the massive 'Happy', and Brazilian pop/drum'n'bass act Kaleido, the cyclone that swept Italy in 2004.
