TWILIGHT by THESKRAGG

Rabdom L is the solo project of Craig Hudson aka ‘the Skragg’ – Craig Hudson first burst onto the south African Psytrance scene in 2001 as a DJ under the alias ‘The Skragg’ He quickly gained a reputation for seamless and soaring night time and twilight sets.  Soon after he began to teach himself how to produce driven by the dream of playing his own music. 
In 2002 Artifakt, Phyx and Shift teamed up with Rabdom L to form the groundbreaking and pioneering SA Record label – Timecode Records. The label gave Craig the chance to showcase his music to the world as Timecode established itself on the Global Underground Psy market and thus Rabdom L began infiltration. 
Twisted System is Rabdom L, Shift and Phyx in collaboration. Storming onto the scene with the debut album ‘the Dealers’ closely followed by the 2nd album ‘Core’ saw the infamous trio become a popular outfit in South Africa and abroad. Twisted System  have played in Australia, Belgium, Portugal, Israel, Mexico, Brasil, Japan and ofcourse constantly in South Africa to the loyal hordes.
After the second Twisted System album Craig began focusing his artistic efforts on his Rabdom L Solo Project. He has enjoyed success and releases on many labels from around the globe and actively represents Nexus-Media Records – A South African based label owned by Shift. In very recent months Rabdom L has signed with Biomechanix Records from Mexico and Replicant Records from Australia.
