Ruff Stuff

Following her debut album on Aus in 2020, Berlin’s Cinthie marks another milestone in her career delivering the latest instalment of the esteemed DJ-Kicks compilation series for !K7 Records.

Ruff Stuff - Trim On (Dirty V)

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.

TIN019_Ruff Stuff – Morale EP

The Italian Berlin Based Ruff Stuff lands on this is not records with a banger track.
Morale is clearly reflecting what "House music" means, the 90's drums in combination with a melodic arpeggio and a strong “Detroit” chord creates something which smashes definitely the dance floor. Alongside “Morale” our residents Alfa Cornae (aka Marco Dassi) and we.amps dropped two crazy and well-structured remix that highlight the original while maintaining its own strong style.

Ruff Stuff teams up with Bress Underground for a long awaited return to SB... a new collection of Deep House tracks of the highest order from these Italian House Heads. Foundations is a steam roller of a track calling on Ruff Stuff’s love for Mr.G, with some tasty French House accents adding a nice funk factor. Sliding Sine makes us wanna go felt pelt on an Autobahn with its rich bass stabs under late night synth echoes with tough drum programming.

Bress Underground comes aboard to collab on the next two tracks and makes his presence felt. The Community is a punchy gospel House cut with crackling vocal samples and trippy chord patterns. Something About It closes the EP with expertly chopped vocals and jacked out grooves, more catchy chords, and some irresistible rolllllling London style bass.

PREMIERE: Ruff Stuff - Foundations [SlothBoogie Recordings]

Axel Boman & Kornél Kovács @ The Lion & Lamb, London, 22 June 2025

Phonica mix 135 comes in hot from one of the slickest names making waves at the moment.
Wallace – the enigmatic alias of UK producer Jimmy Wallace – continues to assert himself as a quietly formidable force in underground house music. Since his 2023 breakthrough Ripples EP on Rhythm Section International, packed with sway-inducing grooves like “Whirl,” “Pump Up The Volume” and “Cenotes,” he’s maintained a remarkable creative and club presence. In 2024, he followed up with Papertrip on RS, a magnet for DJs and dancefloors alike, and later the Tanzanite EP on On Loop, where “Red Velvet” and “M’bira” earned serious praise for their visceral propulsion.

Wallace’s latest chapter includes a headline slot at Panorama Bar, alongside touring Japan, and support from tastemakers like Moxie, Gilles Peterson, Hunee and Bradley Zero – the latter reportedly playing “four or five Wallace tracks per set” across the past year. Stop-start grooves, pumping electro and acid licks, interwoven with percussive breakdowns and bursts of raw energy, define his DJ sets— for this mix: a cerebral yet unrelenting fusion of house, electro, acid and more, made for physical, late-night immersion.

We had a quick chat with Wallace about what he has coming up:

NO REST FOR THE WICKED MIX

A true craftsman of deep, timeless house and techno, XDB delivers a mix that captures the essence of his sound: hypnotic, patient, and beautifully refined. Drawing from decades of collecting and playing records, he pieces together a journey that feels both classic and current, with subtle shifts and warm textures woven throughout.

“The invitation to contribute to the fabric podcast series and do my debut in the club, playing room one together with Craig Richards and Peach, added big time to an already fantastic year.

What I did for this mix, was going through the shelves to pick a bunch of solid records in combination with a selection of my newest purchases, included a few promos and some unreleased dubplates. Deep stuff as always, but also a quite diverse mix, 32 tracks in total stretched into a 2 hour journey for your listening pleasure. I hope you enjoy”

He makes his fabric debut on the 15th November.

DJ HELL  x  Halloween NonStop @ Nowdays , NYC 2025

Working from his hallowed Stockholm bunker with Studio Barnhus label mates Petter Nordqvist and Kornel Kovacs, Swedish art graduate Axel Boman makes music with a rare sense of charm, wit, and humour. In both EP and LP format, he focusses on playful and curious atmospheres, kinked grooves and left of centre sampling. When not making earwormy dance music, in the past he has been found synthesising sound with nuclear physicists as The Radioactive Orchestra and also works on more clubby fair with John Talabot as Talaboman. His sets, too, are just as joyous and off beat, and are as effective for trippy after hour sessions as they are for peak time parties.  

The one hour selection the singular selector cooks up here is something of a curveball, full of unexpected twists and turns that showcase a breadth and depth of his influences whilst sounding perfect for Spring time. It's an effortlessly jaunt through freewheeling melodies, excitable disco groovers and breezy, swinging house all peppered with classics, singalong vocals and feel good gems. Well balanced so as to not be all too sugary, the far ranging mix is another wondrous window into the colourful world of one of house music’s most likeable and easy going characters.

Heat Me Up EP

Heat Me Up (Sascha Dive's Q Remix)

Bookings: joe@remoteartists.co.uk
General contact: ruffstuffcrew @ gmail.com

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.

Addicted to Electro, Deep House, Acid, Techno for many years. Open also to good Indie, Punk, Gothic...

Sound Hunter and DJ for the pleasure of the music.

Founding Member of Sissi@Underground, an artistic non-commercial project where we collect and mix the underground Electro and Live sounds of our friends.

From time to time organizing life mixing event in cool underground places.
