Irma Records was founded and is still based in Bologna, Italy. The origin of the Irma name is quite peculiar, to say the least The same building where we started business in 1988 was once a famous Bologna brothel, Irma Casa Di PrimOrdine (Irma First Class House), hence the name of our oldest label. In those days the few existing Italian independents were dealing with rock, but one day a young A%26amp;R/musician (Umbi Damiani) and a general manager with a solid experience in record distribution (Massimo Benini) formed a production team together with a bunch of promising DJ%26apos;s and musicians from the area. Among them Claudio Moz-Art Rispoli, future founder of Jestofunk, Cesare Collina aka Tito Valdez, Cesare Black Mighty Wax Cera, Checco Montefiori (Kekkotronics, Montefiori Cocktail) and Luca LTJ Trevisi (LTJ X-perience).
