Timmion

Timmion Records is a cutting lab, vinyl mastering, and dub plates service. They are known for their expertise in lacquer cutting, with notable artists such as JSA, Didier, and Sami Kantelinen (credited as SKA) having their work mastered by Timmion. The label is highly regarded in the music industry for their precise and high-quality cutting techniques. When you see the credit "Timmion Cutting" or "Timmion Cut," you can be assured that it was done by this exceptional label.

All the leaves might be brown and the sky gray, but fortunately Willie West is still a man. This relentless underdog of the New Orleans soul history known for his work with The Meters and Allen Toussaint has been laying low in the northern parts of the US for a while now. Lately he has emerged with new raw sound, which fuses very distinctly personal lyricism with heavy minor key grooves provided by the guys at Timmion Records.

While arriving to Finland for the first time in 2014 to perform on account of his latest album Lost Soul, Willie couldn't help laying down a few lyrics at Timmion studios in Helsinki's Kaapelitehdas. The session produced a fresh new track I'm Still A Man, which continues on the same slow, dark and melodic path, which he paved with The High Society Brothers in 2009 with The Devil Gives Me Everything.

From the first desolate guitar licks on Willie starts to lure the listener into his damp and heavy-aired space, like only the few masters brewed in the southern climate can. There's not many of Willie's breed still around and who knows how long his dark wail will bless us with gems like this. Let this true artistry sink its nails in you.
