Rustie came through with an amazing album for Warp in 2012 called Glass Swords. It, to this day has stood amongst countless pioneering Electronic music albums and pushed itself ahead of the pack, garnering tonnes of praise from the likes of The Guardian. He’s also recently been heard on the Adidas Olympics ads.
Initially a garage MC working under the name Mentor, Roska found fame in the mid 2000s for his productions and DJing as part of the burgeoning UK Funky movement, along with peers like Marcus Nasty. Roska’s debut album ‘Rinse Presents: Roska’ cemented his status as a front runner of the genre, powered along by catchy synth hooks and his t
rademark syncopated drum patterns, reminiscent of the broken beat scene of the early 2000s. He runs his own imprint, Roska Kicks N Snares, and collaborates frequently with vocalists Anesha and Jamie George.
Doc Daneeka is a Welsh house music and more producer and DJ, swinging in on a wave of noble sentiments from things like Fact Mag, Resident Advisor, Crack, and Xlr8r. He does some some cool ass, crafty house music, rattling the drums for labels like Ramp, Fabric, 50 Weapons, PTN, and Well Rounded. His latest main work is the much lauded They! Live album -- a debut release with fellow UK transplant, Benjamin Damage.
Rupert Taylor has made music for seven years, yet it’s taken him almost up to this point to see the fruits of that labour. After his busiest year as a producer in 2010, Taylor released a 10”, You Always Start It/Ordinary Things, as XXXY this January. The latter track featured chopped-up saccharine R&B vocals – five seconds snatched from 90s singer Deborah Cox’s It’s Over Now – over a driving part-house, part-funky rhythm and proved somewhat of a turning point for the Manchester-born producer.
Ghost Mutt. This young producer from Brighton (UK) is linked as resident artist to the people of Donky Pitch with other residents like Boss Kite and Slugabed. His sound can be, if we try to genre-ize it, defined as a mash-up of hiphop beats mixed with dubstep, covered with glitches, funky tweaks, purple flares and dirty basses.
