It has been almost seven years since Jon Cutler launched his N.Y.C. based Distant Music label. In March of 1996 Distant Music released its first single The E.Z. Tracks E.P., mixed and produced by Johnny Fiasco. While preparing to release the first Distant project Jon Cutler signed a deal with Peter Primiani and Tyrone Solomon of Toronto’s 83 West Records.

Taking over full distribution of 83 West. Realizing there would be more recognition in the amount of releases Distant and 83 West decided to release all their projects simultaneously. Within less than a year Distant Music began gaining a reputation for quality releases. Releasing productions from Sandy Rivera of Kings Of Tomorrow, Johnny D & Nicky P, Jon Cutler & DJ Romain, The Space Invaders and many upcoming producers.

After the first year Jon introduced his second label Remedie Records a sub label of Distant. Remedie is geared towards very deep Jazzy house productions with an anything goes b-side attitude. Such as Trip-Hop, down tempo or even ballads giving house producers a chance to show their versatility.
