12 inch with classic, soulful and melodic house music. Behind Rhemi are Ziggy Funk and Neil Pierce from London. Before the two joined forces to form Rhemi in 2013, they both made a name for themselves in England’s capital as promoters and DJs. Among their promoters and friends are none other than Louie Vega and Joey Negro.
And this already names the musical hobbyhorse that Ziggy Funk and Neil Pierce indulge in, namely classic, soulful and melodic house music, to which purring Balearic influences are just as unfamiliar as light keyboard surfaces and heavy pumping boogie beats.
