eel_009 City Rain - "This I Will Remember" - 04/07/2009
A young and seasoned veteran to IDM and minimal music, and the Philadelphia indie-electronic
music scene, City Rain releases his best and varied album to date. From the brilliant mind of Ben
Runyan comes 11 new tracks with both electronic and acoustic elements. Perfect live guitar lines
compliment the programming of hard hitting kicks and bass grooves, snares, and claps that make this
music a great blend that will appeal to those that like their electronic music full of melody and feeling
just as much as those whose feet are lifted off the dance floor moments before the high pass filter
drops the bass that punches them square between the ears.

Artist Links:
City Rain is the moniker of Charles Benjamin Runyan (Ben) from the streets of
Philadelphia, PA. City Rain combines beard-scratching IDM with the fun and
quirkiness of dance-floor minimal and even a little bit of guitar. Aside from
writing music, Ben is involved with various side projects scoring music for
websites, fashion videos and other odds and ends. City Rain has appeared on
Boltfish recordings, Unfound Sound, and Trance4M8 record labels, and though
young, is no newcomer to the indie-electronic music scenes.
"Ben Runyan has an affinity for minimal techno and anthemic electronica/indie
rock. This is apparent in his upcoming album “This I Will Remember”. The
album chronicles a 3 month wait for his mate who resides overseas. Runyan
draws on feelings of helplessness, joy, and hopefulness to complete a digital
journal of the life of a man for 3 months."

eel_013 Outputmessage / City Rain - "I Remember EP" - 08/02/2009
This EP is a remix from the title track of City Rain's "This I Will remember Part 1". What began as a
cool idea expanded into something way more than anyone expected. Ben (City Rain) and Bernard
(Outputmessage) decided to each remix one of each other's tracks. Outputmessage, mashed up "I
remember" and added some very cool vocals to the song making it even more astonishing than it was
previously. As if that couldn't be topped, Aligning Minds took over and remixed the remix, and Phasen
added a way cool rainy day remix of the original track. 4 awesome versions in this little EP.
