Untitled 162

Après avoir découvert le spectre de la bass music à travers la scène rave toulousaine. Aujourd'hui installé à Paris, Qant évolue au coeur de sonorités UK Techno, drum'n'bass, dubstep, et surtout jungle. Depuis peu, il s'est également mis à la musique live, toujours accompagné de sa fidèle boîte à rythmes Digitakt. 

Avec cette track, l’artiste nous plonge au cœur d’un univers sombre, teinté des sonorités bass music qu’iel affectionne.

PREMIERE | Qant - Idle Thoughts [De la...Je l'espère]

German producer Conzi makes his debut on Beatrice M.’s Bait label with two introspective heavyweight cuts accompanied each by a remix from Hamburg’s N:in and Dublin’s Ambit.

With releases on labels such as DUPLOC, WobWob! and cutcross alongside a slew of self-released records, Conzi is definitely now marked as a go-to producer within the world of dubstep and 140. The AU2 EP is another knockout record in his arsenal, focusing more on the darker atmospheric side of the sound with two rolling numbers, ‘AU2’ and ‘Drakar’. On the flip side, N:in elevates the textures on ‘AU2’ to create a more abrasive temperament whilst Ambit brings in more ‘roller’ influences.

More Water pairs the dancefloor stylings of Sub Basics and Witch Trials through the platform of Temple Of Sound. Beckoning the listener to the centre of the dancefloor with haste, there they will remain as the tracks appropriately travel from light, to dusk, to dark. All the while holding a high-paced tumbling percussion, encouraging complete expressive movement.

Encapsulating bright keys travelling on a wave of undulating rhythm, littered with muffled vocals that enhance the persistent energy that traverses daytime house. All the way to warehouse rackets that hiss and pump with 4 AM energy, this release has something for every moment of the night.

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.
