BIOGRAPHY
CID RIM, whose real name is Clemens Bacher, grew up in Vienna, learned the piano and drums at an early age, and studied jazz drums at the Vienna Conservatory. Together with friends and comrades he founded the label Affine Records. Under the artist name CID RIM, Bacher tours South Africa several times starting in 2012, also at the invitation of “Damon Albarn’s Africa Express,” in the context of which he collaborates with Brian Eno, Idris Elba and the musicians of the Gorillaz, among others. He wins Gilles Peterson’s World Wide Award for the official remix of Chvrches’ “Recover” and subsequently works with internationally renowned artists such as Sky Ferrera, The 1975 and Theophilus London. In 2017, his debut album “Material” is released on the Scottish label LuckyMe, followed by the “Control” EP in 2019. In the autumn of 2021, CID RIM released his second album, “Songs of Vienna”. The back cover boldly claims: “A psychedelic ride from the Austrian capital”. The third long-play album “Songs for Vienna” was released in 2022.
At the end of 2023, CID RIM skipped Austrian winter for the first time in his life, opting instead for the sun drenched climes of Mexico. What emerged was his fourth studio album SPRINT – a technicolour ode to joy and a study in leaving your comfort zone – which was released via LUCKYME on Friday 27 June, 2025
