Biography of an Up, Bustle & Out DJ
W hen the world focused on Bristol, names
like Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, Soul II Soul and Up, Bustle
& Out exploded in to existence. Up, Bustle & Out
didn't run to the major record labels, but chose a humbler route :
the Independent label. Up, Bustle & Out signed with the
UK's most famous label NINJA TUNE, and their sound pioneered the London
Label and carried their reputation internationally. No other Ninja artist
released the volume of work that Up, Bustle & Out did with 5 albums and
13 EP singles. .
DJ Rudy, the creator, writer and producer is an unusual character seeing music as a story, a journey and a road to new experiences. DJ Rudy always experiments with sounds, as a student inherited his uncle's 1970's vinyl funk record collection, spent most of his time, in between studying, DJ-ing on the cool Bristol Scene, hosting a 2-hour weekly Pirate Radio Show and hanging out in record shops between London and Bristol. At 18 years old he produced the first 12' EP cut for Up, Bustle & Out -An African Friendship an instant success and was the golden key to labels, remixes, promotion, international DJ-ing, press and a long and accomplished writing and production career.
As a DJ, Rudy is not looking for attitude, just cool, happy party vibes : mixing up Beats, Hip Hop, World Grooves, Jazz, Reggae, D&B, and FUNKY sounds from vinyl, all with originality, a confident flare and with an edge of mystery as found in Up, Bustle & Out recordings and releases. He also brings street-artist stage banners, colourful and contemporary, original Super 8 and 16mm film-footage for projections, adding to a unique and memorable evening.
