I'm back bitches, with an all new Bit Of Ruff remix I just knocked up - it's my first tune in months and I made it using modplug tracker, a shite computer and one single crappy hi-fi speaker on its side plonked on my coffee table - so it might sound a bit wanky!  

It's a remix of "Higher Now" by DJ Seduction - he actually lives in my basement, I let him out to play earlier and he knocked this together for us to enjoy on a lovely summers evening! 

A Bit Of Ruff - Higher Then (Shit Intro Mix)

Col aka Col ;)

All my material was written and recorded on Renoise. No Hardware as A) I couldn't afford any and B) I probably wouldn't even know where to start.

My early stuff since 2014 was very ordinary as I didn't know what I was doing and was "feeling my way through". I still don't know how to properly arrange music according to music formalities & training, but I do my best to re-create the vibe and madness associated with 1990s style Hardcore/Rave, chiefly 1992/93 styles ;). I got better as I went along but I have ran out of room on my 'free account' and didn't financially have the "motivation" to pay and upgrade. 

I am looking into another way of providing a platform for my music though as there is a lot of it and and a lot of it hasn't been shared or released which is way better than my early stuff. IF and that's a big if....you wish to hear more or other stuff please feel free to drop me a line and I will do my best to oblige. Thank you for your support to date. 

Have a gud 'un!!
