Italian producer Ruff Stuff - which has already released on labels like !K7, Shall Not Fade, Sloth Boogie, Madhouse - returns with a self produced record on his Ruff Stuff Music label.

The EP is a solid mixture of tracks showcasing 2 sides of the producer's sound: the more dancefloor oriented one on the A Side vs the deeper and housier one on the B side.

Each of the tracks expresses in its unique way Ruff's own style and inspiration: the A side is composed by DJ tools, with 'High Club Alive' inspired by French Touch and the deeper 'Badass Groove’.

On the B side you will find more complex arrangements, more brainy tunes, with a definite House and Acid vibe.

This is a truly masterful combination of tunes by Ruff Stuff.
One for the dance floor. One for the heads.

To celebrate the 1st year of activity, Ruff Stuff is giving a free track for all the friends, fan and djs who supported them through the whole year.

This is just to say: Thank you all!

The duo of producers from Milan took out another dancefloor smasher taking inspiration from early 90’s house trend, with an original touch of modernity.

That’s Right! is build around a solid housy groove and a bouncing analog bassline, surrounded by voices and sirens that creates a crazy atmosphere for a true, devastating effect on the crowd.

Play it loud, enjoy, and spread the love!

Intimate Sessions - Vol.1

Black Loops & Ruff Stuff - La Progressive (Shall Not Fade)

Sculptures Records is the new label from Ruff Stuff, a new platform designed to showcase material from predominantly up and coming artists who use physical machines to craft and sculpt their music, using their hands and real tools to create unique pieces of art.
This stands as the ethos for Sculptures and its output moving forward, which will aesthetically lean towards house and deep house sounds with forays into electro.

The label-head Ruff Stuff steps up first to inaugurate things here and leads the release with ‘Give Me A Break’, employing organic drums and dubbed out stabs at its core before the latter half of the composition introduces a rave-tinged disorienting synth hook. Title-cut ‘Faster Buster’ follows next, this time round employing swirling pads, bumpy drums and gritty stab sequences as it’s core alongside hypnotic vocal chants and squelching 303 bass notes.

‘Bunker Mood’ opens the flip side, fuelled by dusty drums and a snaking bass groove while an amalgamation of airy chords, tension building strings and vocal samples carry the groove.
‘Rules Breaker’ then closes the package with a contrasting feel, bringing a choppy square wave bass line and resonant synth licks to the forefront alongside off- kilter, skippy drums and ethereal pads ebbing and flowing within.

The Italian born, Berlin based Gianfranco Barnaba is the mind behind Ruff Stuff.  He have rocked up on a host on different labels, including !K7, Shall Not Fade, Madhouse Records, Suol, Sloth Boogie and STEP Recordings. 
However, it's the work on his own label, the aptly names Ruff Stuff Music Ltd, for which he’s arguably best renowned.

Grew up during the ‘90’s electronic wave, firstly as clubber and then as DJ and vinyl enthusiast, in the mid-2000s he decided to start produce electronic music. The first steps were moved on the Idm and Ambient territories, driven by his love for ethereal melodies and intricate broken beats.

The shift to House happened after re-discovering different classic records hidden in his collection. 
From here the idea to create a music project focused on representing the vibes of the old-school House, Techno and Garage with a propensity to find the newest, freshest sounds. 

Rough samples, hypnotic melodies, groovy beats and vocals are the main ingredients that marks the Ruff Stuff’s sound.
