RVNG Intl. is an independent record label based in Brooklyn, New York. Established in 2003 by a visionary individual, RVNG Intl. has been at the forefront of the music industry for over a decade.
With a commitment to pushing boundaries and nurturing unique talent, RVNG Intl. has earned recognition as one of the most influential labels in the industry. In January 2014, Resident Advisor named RVNG Intl. as their label of the month, highlighting their exceptional contributions to electronic music.
In addition to critical acclaim, RVNG Intl. has also garnered praise from Tiny Mix Tapes who listed them among their favorite labels of 2015. This accolade further solidifies RVNG Intl.'s reputation as a tastemaker and trendsetter within the music community.

Only the Blues is an introduction deferred, and it is the debut album by Dylan Moon. Across its 35 minutes, we are rarely made to understand what, exactly, the source of Moon’s blues is, how that feeling has mutated, or whether there is a life beyond the small rooms and cramped spaces where this music was made. If not opaque, this first meeting with Moon is at least hazily translucent. This makes Only the Blues something of an esoteric response to an age of radical transparency. Broadly speaking, Moon works in the field of folk music. But from this pasture, he glances pathways to digression; seeking scenic routes and counterintuitive cartography, trusting that even the most aimless trip becomes lucid if the foggy details are documented well enough. On this trip, images spill from Moon, and most of them seem foreboding. We are given the sense - both from his lyrics and from the viscous mood he creates, using electronic manipulation to send his songs down compositional egresses, from which they emerge with a mysterious residue - that things have not been going well. Even the most saccharine memories, dancing before a freshly lit fire or hanging out with childhood cartoons come to life, feel caked with a hidden history. Moon studied electronic production and sound design at music school, and then moved to Los Angeles in hopes of working in the film industry.

Bootleg Edition is limited to 150 copies (a portion of which were distributed by Moon and RVNG to unsuspecting listeners without context), featuring a silk-screened, hand-stamped label, and Risograph insert.
