Ruff & Jam (Respectively Jean-Marie Moens & Luke Mourinet) is a duo of Producers, Remixers, Songwriters and Recording Artists based in Belgium.

In the early days of their collaboration in the mid 90s, they’ve developed a couple of pop acts for the French market with the leading major companies. 

In 2001 the duo decided to wear the remixer’s hat so they picked up the Ruff & Jam Handle and founded their Remix & Production Company : Ruff & Jam Recordings, that same year they’ve started remixing for a couple of British Artists including Sophie Ellis Bextor.

2002 was the emerging year for Ruff & Jam with their official U.S. Radio Mix for Kylie Minogue and Billboard Magazine wrote : ‘With its innovative and catchy remix of Kylie Minogue’s “Love at first sight” (Capitol) riding high on the Billboard dance charts, Belgian production unit Ruff & Jam has made a big step onto the international scene.’

Ruff & Jam got their first Billboard #1 and a Grammy Award nominated Remix within the Best Dance Recording Category.

In 2004 they’ve penned ‘Another Day (Can’t let go)’ & teamed with British Singer Nina Babet (Ozark Henry,Milow…) It became their first single as Ruff & Jam and was released on Sony Music.

Their single hit the Dance Charts at #3 as best new entry and gave them their first Top 20 in the National Charts.

The record received a massive support from radios and an outstanding support among the most respected & Prestigious DJ/Producers including Armand Van Helden, Judge Jules, Tiesto (#1 in his playlist), Ferry Corsten, Joachim Garraud (F*ck me I’m famous),Olav Basoski to name but a few…

They kept on being prolific as remixers and delivered some reworks for The Killers, Robbie Williams, Bob Marley,Marianne Faithful, Sugababes, Amy Winehouse, Frou Frou, Scissors Sisters, Placebo,The Spinto Band,Polyphonic Spree, Mary J Blige, Tiga,we’re from Barcelona, Au Revoir Simone,Mika and more.

As well as collaboration and mix for Composer Extraordinaire Craig Armstrong and official Radio Mixes for Axelle Red, Delavega & Ozark Henry.

Their love and skills for electronic music has given them the opportunity to make some Sound Design work for virtual recreations of legendary synthesizers so they designed factory presets for Arturia’s ARP 2600 V, PROPHET V, JUPITER 8 V and will be in charge of Factory Presets for Arturia’s ORIGIN Hardware Synthesizer.

In 2007, they’ve founded their label Over:Kraft and signed a deal for one of their act on the legendary Southern Fried Records Label (Armand Van Helden, Mighty Dub Katz(Fatboy Slim)…).

2008 is the debut of an exciting partnership with Talpa Music.

Using apps on phone 1st uploads so not finished except a couple of random beats and ..Good fun but whole tracks are work in progress til I get sufficient software how ever remix live and beat maker Pro are all I've managed to put together some random unknown genre of what I'm calling music. Sort a hip hop and dnb ish vibes I guess - obviously all my work so far is work in progress and just beware probably uploaded full of distortion and for a year ago I'm remembering that phone I need to get fixed was so much better to make music on the huwawi p30 than the so called upgrade I've got.. Anyway I need practice and advise on quite Alot of areas mainly my work is to slow but I've sped up and stretched as fast as I can without wrecking the beat completely wripping similar beats to as flat out as can go using what's free til I feel worthy of subscribing Hip hop beats wiv strings over top as fast as they will go sound nuts at 145bpm and probably no good louder but I don't know.. I'm expecting distortion unfortunately sounds OK through headphones and in tiny speaker in my room.. and aim is minimal atmospheric tunes to build up your set.. In other words minimal far from tekno and as good as I can do without paying to subscribe which I think I may have to... Moto is use what is available and if I like it after nearly making random tunes put together and sound same because ie wrinsed one or two tunes 2 learn how to progress and build up tracks using only tunes I liked that we're available to me.. Bored the tits off me. But u think is time to get making some more original beats and put them together make more samples from. Scratch and have fun..
