born out of a chance encounter in 2012 that led to a lasting friendship, rhythm section int’l & producer, dj, label boss, radio host, and record store owner ruf dug join forces to present ‘the committee....

three long awaited dark jungle tracks from london-based producer mark donington

currently generating some serious heat and momentum amongst dance music aficionados, man power rocks up with a single for futureboogie that further cements the reputation of this rising british producer/dj. the two original tracks are also backed with a remix from ruf dug. alongside his own very excellent me me me label, man power has been delivering diversely epic releases for labels like esp institute, optimo trax, and correspondant. in its original form, barranquilla trifle features rave-lite stabs and deliciously sweeping pads over woody percussion and an omnipresent studry bassline. a dash of acid darkness only energizes the mood, for what must surely be one of the best ‘sunrise moments’ tracks of the year! ruf dug takes barranquilla further on its trajectory towards summertime vibes the sounds of the ocean sea gently breeze over the soca beat, as the ruf kutz main man adds splashes of percussive hits, huge m1 pads, and melodious keys to the party. more 303 business coats kaon from its opening bars, as man power delivers his second original track on the release. an urgent breakbeat and wandering mega-bass soon evolve into thunderous beats and heady synth arpeggios, an almost post-punk funk atmosphere creeps into the bustling yet succinct ambience.

500, 12inch 180g, hand stamped, individually numbered records, single press only. tusk s old pal cyclonix follows up his horn wax record with a full release on the main label. justin strauss & bryan mette provide a whatever/whatever remix.

lp in printed innersleeve + download card. de beren gieren confirms their reputation as one of the most adventurous jazz trios of the benelux with their fourth album.raw energy, impressionist melodies and complex structures are generated via piano, bass and drums provoking polyrhythmic soundscapes with unexpected twists and sudden turns.

that cyberpunk chameleon of styles, manchester’s pride and dancefloor master ruf dug is back on wax on copenhagen’s music for dreams. following up the first 12” of remixes that came out last year, we once again re-visit the island life of monsieur ruffy and his debut full length album “island” (recorded during a sojourn on guadeloupe). first up we have italians on the mix. hi-jacking ruffy’s tribute to wally badarou, leo mas and fabrice opt to do their own thing: which is churning out a bouncing house belter of their own that bears little resemblance to the original lo-fi synth reverie. closer to the original then, is fellow mancunian andi hanley’s take on the same track. adding sparse percussion and and a simple but effective drum beat, this take seems to simply be an uncovered second half of the original, where it finally takes off for the dancefloor. “mangrove dub” is reworked by fresh-on-the-scene aussie producer tropical hi-fi who creates a brilliant version full of moist ambient textures and reverb-heavy dub treatments. at last but definitely not least, seahawks turns the whimsical hippie folk ballad “le rayon vert” into a more intense and neatly dressed affair, focusing on the instrumental parts and lifting aside vocalist nev cotte’s contribution to the original. still with a mindful of tropical dreams and the ocean shore close at hand, but in a more introvert vini reilly kind of way. essential package.

fresh from the black ark: free, rawly spiritual trance-music a full-force nyabinghi freak-out

ruf dug’s debut album ‘island’ was released to much acclaim in 2015 on kenneth bager’s music for dreams imprint. it sold out its first promo run within weeks and scored top spots in many ‘best of year’ reviews. now for 2016, ruffy has picked some of his favourite artists to rework his tracks and this is the result. limited vinyl - dont sleep!

legendary, killer roots. an austere, implacable, heavier-than-lead one-away, with a severe dub. even their bass bins shall tremble and be in anguish.

early in 2014, copenhagens kenneth bager asked electronic wizard and remix entrepreneur ruf dug if he would make an album for his acclaimed balearic imprint music for dreams. that summer, ruf dug headed off to spend three months on the island of guadeloupe in the french caribbean. seizing the opportunity to live out his own compass point fantasy, he put together a portable studio that would fit into a suitcase - two half-rack synthesizers, a couple of effects units, his laptop and a 4-track cassette recorder. he set up the studio in the spare bedroom in a rented villa and spent the next 12 weeks watching the sun set and making the album. all tracks were written and recorded in guadeloupe, with nev cottee beaming in vocals and guitar parts for a couple of the tracks direct from the heart of mancunia, hooking into the powerful and long-standing musical relationship between manchester and that most famous of sunset islands ibiza

uttu drops some hype shit in the form of ruf dug & samrai plus remixes form hashman deejay and the legendary zanzibar chanel from down under!

4 unreleased cuts by nail, echoing perhaps the more jacked-up moments of his --big d s lounge-- lp that was released on diy that same year. speaking from his tent pitched outside the oswestry service station goods entrance, he recalled, --i have no memory of making these tracks--. 300 on clear vinyl, no repress.

the third offering on public possessions sub label under the influence provides the listener with four remixes of bell towers last territory ep.

a previously unreleased, 909 driven rocksteady version of ding dong merrily on high.

the artist occasionally known as simon rufdug mcruff al-duggleston steps up to the collectable porn wax series with two lustful, lingering looks at 80s electronica. sorta rican is all soft skanks and twinkling keys. think ace of bass but with added balearica. mv look , meanwhile, is a psychedelic storm where bold blasts of synths overlap like crashing waves on a new beat shore. mesmerising and masterful, ruf dug is one smooth operator.

1980s disco funk inspired & dub house leaning ep.

sparky, raw and untiringly nuanced, dugnad rec continue their bold additions to the world of jazz. as expected from the tore ljøkelsøy kvartett, this jam-packed album arrives in one compositionally refined and mature expression. the work is filled with a playful and often cheeky vitality, yet remains underscored by a professorial consistency that marks it with the unmistakable stamp of intellect and class. one should expect nothing less.
