Review by telwin5000 Sep 29, 2009
Cult status this label has attained and most deservedly so, not always the most accessible of music but then personally that's what i want. The vinyl's themselves are heavy and the whole package smells beautiful. Back in the day i was more into the more open Cajual sound and had only picked up a handful of Relief releases but have now turned my attention to Relief from the 1990's which seems to be a timeless sound, i love the artwork and colors used for the label. the musical range of Relief records is extremely broad, from stripped down jack tracks, jazz infused house music all the way towards well rough trance like tech music and many many stops between. Well i suppose if your reading this you will have at least some idea of the sonic sound scape on offer. This is proper late night club music, the artist's who released on Relief seemed to really know there stuff and of course the same can be said about the boss himself.

Pioneering offshoot of Cajual Records.
Became defunct for a few years, but despite being re-launched & repackaged has never regained the huge cult status the old stuff still retains.
