Influenced by the seismic wave of 90s electronic dance music, Berlin-based, Italian artist Ruff Stuff is gradually becoming a musical force of his own. Driven by his love for ethereal melodies and intricate broken beats, he first started producing music in the IDM and ambient territories. After re-discovering a bunch of classic 90s records hidden in his collection, the focus of his production shifted to the style of old-school house, techno and garage; with an aim to combine the best elements from that era, with the newest, freshest sounds in dance music. Since this switch up, he has featured on a host of respected electronic imprints, including Shall Not Fade, Madhouse Records, Suol, Sloth Boogie and STEP Recordings. However, it's the self-releases on his own Ruff Stuff Music Ltd which have garnered most attention. Make sure to check these out and keep your eyes peeled for the seventh instalment of his Untitled EP series coming soon. A Ruff Stuff record can be categorised as rough, tough and funky, usually consisting of sample-laden house and hypnotic grooves, crafted to make the room shake. As a DJ, he has the same intentions - a night with Ruff Stuff will make you sweat.
