RVNG Intl. is a Brooklyn-based music institution that operates on few but heavily fortified principles, dealing with forward-reaching artists sometimes categorized as electronic, avant, free, fried, bonked, etc.
RVNG seeks to appease collector fandom with extravagant packaging and to remind hopeful audiophile generations of the sonic spectacle that transforms the surrounding airspace when needle presses vinyl. Of course, we’re not total curmudgeons, our catalogue is (almost) fully available across digital formats.
Our FRKWYS series exemplifies the equilibrium of classic artistic sensibility and modern day sentimentality. Each volume is a unification of progenitor and contemporary musician. Those artists on RVNG working outside the FRKWYS umbrella still find collaboration the driver. We work closely to activate each new level of artistic accomplishment.
RVNG is a creative member of our NYC community and at large. Whether it’s partnering with New York City’s White Columns Gallery or London’s Barbican Center, helping to present MoMa PS1’s Summer Warm Up series or working extensively with Krakow’s Unsound Festival, format transcendence is our second life-force.
RVNG, Freedom To Spend, Beats In Space and Commend See operate with the environment in mind. All shipping materials are eco-friendly – we use water and recycled paper to tape our cardboard mailers. We offer local shipping rates in the UK / EU from an international based warehouse, saving on the amount of transatlantic freight shipments. We endeavor to use recycled or consciously resourced papers and vinyl materials whenever possible for our record production, and keep our CD and cassette production runs realistic so as to avoid unused overrun.
As for the correct pronunciation of RVNG, please consult the cosmos.
SHIPPING POLICY
Domestic shipping: All orders are shipped media mail unless otherwise requested. If you need your order to arrive by a specific date, we encourage you to select Priority Mail. Please keep in mind USPS does NOT guarantee the delivery times for any service they offer (including Priority).
International shipping: We offer international shipping with DHL First Mile which typically takes 2-4 weeks to deliver.
Please allow two weeks before contacting us for US orders (4 weeks for international orders). There are a number of factors that contribute to transit times, most of which are out of our control once an order is given to the carrier. We have found it is not uncommon for some media mail packages to remain unscanned after they have been picked up from our warehouse by USPS even though they are in transit for delivery.
If the order has still not been received 30 days after it was shipped a replacement or refund can be issued.
