Alfred Rugs (moniker R., 4lfred R.) is a DJ, producer and remixer spanning multiple sub-genres of house and techno music. His productions, collaborations and stylistic approach to DJ'ing are solely influenced by his passion for music of all types, even far outside of the electronic realms. While currently based in Phoenix, R.'s deeper, darker style stems from his affiliation with and love for the New York City underground scene while growing up in neighboring New Jersey during the mid and late 90s. It was truly an influential time for electronic music and set the foundation for a lot of today's more modern DJs and sounds. Some noteable influences who have inspired R.'s ever evolving form include the renowned club DJs of that period, such as the legendary Junior Vasquez, Danny Tenaglia, Hex Hector and Victor Calderone to name a few.
