For the past nine years, ASTRALWERKS RECORDS has grown from one of America’s earliest pioneers of electronic music to become America's premier music label for cutting edge and exciting music.

This success can be attributed to consistently challenging America's ears with a broad spectrum of music. However, some of the best tracks continue to be the hardest to find. This is due in part to the tracks being issued only on vinyl (typically only available as an import) or as limited DJ-only promotional pressing for club play.

Even if these tracks make it to CD, they are usually shortened versions that have been mixed into other tracks with their tempo altered. Rarewerks 2 collects eleven highly sought-after tracks from some of the biggest names in music today and is out now.
