In the Summer of 1988 Portland studios at the van Diemenstraat in Amsterdam began recording young and upcoming talent; they were scouted at clubs, on the streets and by word of mouth. After an experimental period of recording the first record released on the TINK! label was by Black Tulip featuring Wendell Morrison on vocals. The international success this limited 12" single edition achieved inspired the Portland team to record more tracks and set up the label. By this time the Major Record companies all had their eyes and ears on the Portland studios.
Another headline - the music label TINK! Records
1990 brought us TINK! Records (Tomorrow is now, kid!). The new label was a lively and creative organisation with headquarters in the Portland studios and situated in the heart of Amsterdam. The idea behind TINK! was to release quality Dance Music, ranging from Soul and Funk to World Beat, House and Techno. "TINK! Records believes in a new breed of young and upcoming artists, songwriters and producers from the music and club scene who can add a new dimension to Dance music. Combining this with artists from Africa, Latin countries and the USA new styles are created", read the press release from 1990. In that year TINK! Records became established as an independent House music label based in Amsterdam. TINK! Records was one of the first Dutch record labels to record House music and the first to produce and release 'U.S style Garage' music on the Netherlands. While Holland was going Hardcore TINK! focused more into Soulful vocal releases and Disco influenced House with 'track' style cuts. Nevertheless the label still released two of the most acclaimed Hardcore tracks on the underground - the internationally recognized Rave Anthems EDC "NO Pills - the Roxy Mix" and R. J.'s Rule's historical (and repeatedly bootlegged) track "Rave this Nation".
TINK! releases were initially only available on 12" maxi singles and distributed to specialised record shops internationally. At a later stage some of the tracks were released on CD and licensed for use on many international compilation CDs. TINK! was the first Dutch House label to have a worldwide distribution deal with a Major company, EMI Records. Early releases from artists such as Black Tulip, MDA, The Funky Mood Orchestra, EDC, Formosa and R.J.'s Rule helped TINK! establish recognition amongst top DJs and House Music lovers everywhere and the respect of the Dance community world-wide.
TINK! Records has also licensed tracks to compilation albums in territories such as Japan, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the U.S.A, the UK, Belgium, France and elsewhere. In the the Netherlands TINK! Records tracks featured on various mix compilation CDs with well over 50 albums world wide. From the Summer of Love in 1988 up till 1995 TINK! Records and the Portland studios will remind many Dance Music fans just how influential the label and the studios were in pushing the underground House sound from Holland forward into the world.
With over 25 releases by artists including Black Tulip, MDA, Thyone Girls, Wendell Morrison, Marian Rolle, EDC, R.J's Rule, MTC Grooves, Venus, Electronic Voodoo, the Funky Mood Orchestra, Source Internal, Digital Cartel and more, TINK! Records catalogue remains a milestone in the history of Dutch House music.
