ITX038 COMMODO X GANTZ - 89! GLOOM

After 15 years in the game, with over 60+ vinyl records pressed, including several "001s", I am very excited to finally be launching my own thing (better late than never hey).

001 - Pugilist - Monument

The concept for Ruff Kutz as an idea came about last year after doing the 3 releases exclusive to Bandcamp as an outlet for my own productions that didn't get picked up by labels. Lots of people messaged me about vinyl. including a big push from dear friend and musical luminary Stormn Norm aka Mr Modern Hypnosis. He put me in touch with Sequence Distribution and they have been amazing to work with - helping me get this off the ground quickly!

The label will be the main outlet for most of my productions going forward - focussing on quality over quantity and with no set rules for a particular sound or tempo: expect the unexpected! The first release encompasses what I think is my sound, and is a nod to my musical past whilst aiming to remain fresh and create timeless music.

Techno influence has always been something I have tried to incorporate into my productions, but I have never released a full Techno track - until now! The A side track 'Monument' is a rolling piece of soulful machine music, made to induce euphoria on the dancefloor with its 10 min run time, Dubby chords, groovy Latin percussion and melancholic pads. Homage to a lot of the 90s and early noughties Techno sounds that I am so fond of!

I couldn't think of doing the first release on the label without at least 1 Dubstep track on it, and given it's the genre I cut my teeth in - I did 2 inna pug-step style. Deep and dubbed out. B1 'Mannequin' is an introspective half-stepper with a laid back, techy feel to it. The staccato sub bass keeps the track grooving under the delicate chords and is sure to get the scoops moving!

On the B2 we have 'Run It' a hazy 2-step style tune (so hot right now) with forward thinking production, an off kilter groove, hypnotic bass and a few classy wubs thrown in for good measure. Think Horsepower Productions meets Livity Sound. Stinky!

Available through Bandcamp, and up for pre-order through the usual suspects very soon! No Spotify sorry, you have got to stick to your morals!

Thanks so much for the support, and here is to hopefully many more.

Listen to 'Run Thru' by Dedman taken from VA 'Sounds From The Block' out on October 31st via Flatblock Audio

"Vol.1 sets the standard of whats to come in the near future from Flatblock Audio as a brand new, organic and home grown grime label both sonically, thematically and also what is to come from the artists that the label represents.

Showcasing that there is a new wave of sounds coming from the genre and that grime indeed does have longevity within the underground music space

We have welcomed both new and seasoned artists in onto this compilation from names such as C-Rank, KOROstyle & Moscow Legend who have all had massive acclaim and support from DJ's such as Slimzee, Spooky Bizzle, Sir Spyro & More, and have also featured on pioneering labels such as Slimzos Recordings

All the way over to some of the freshest names on the block like DES0 who just released an incredible project via our friends in Jah Tek, and Humph who has seen great success after becoming a fan favourite on DJ Big Mikee's DJ Edition of prizefighter.

All together we have made inclusivity, versatility and variety our biggest aims as a label, and we feel this debut compilation incapsulates it very well"
