Crammed's sub-labels have included the Made To Measure composers' series, world music collection Cramworld, electronic music imprints SSR, Language & Selector, and Ziriguiboom, a collection devoted to new Brazilian music.

Crammed's current roster includes Konono N°1, Cibelle, Koçani Orkestar, Taraf de Haidouks, Bebel Gilberto, Balkan Beat Box, DJ Dolores, Tuxedomoon, Shantel, Kasai Allstars, Think Of One, Mahala Rai Banda, newcomers Lonely Drifter Karen & Allá, and more.
Introducing... Cibelle as Sonja Khalecallon
The world has ended. All that's left is a jungle on a floating rock where a paradise nightclub band is playing at the last cabaret on earth: the Las Vênus Resort Palace Hotel.
Cibelle in: 'Lightworks' from Crammed Discs on Vimeo.
The London-based tropical punkster gives us a tasty morsel for her glorious technicolour new album, for which she adopts the role of Sonja Khalecallon, a singer at the last cabaret at the end of the world.
Check this video for 'Lightworks', Cibelle's addictive take on a 1960s cosmetics advert jingle composed by electronic pioneer Raymond Scott.
Cibelle's new album is entitled 'Las Vênus Resort Palace Hotel', more info here.
