DJ Ruffneck is one of the last remaining original founders of the Jungle/Drum and bass scene in North America. This legendary DJ and contributor to our scene has one of the longest track records around. This master of his trade has moved crowds from central Toronto to the east and west and south of the border for over 10 years. Recently acquiring a residency at one of Vancouver's elite production companies 'EXERT', Ruffneck is again helping to start a proper Drum and Bass scene west of home.
When it comes to musical style, prepare yourself for a true adrenaline pumping workout. This DJ can work a crowd like no other. Slamming tunes, dirty basslines and the fattest beats around. It is known that the ability to read a crowd is key to being a great dj. Well, Ruffneck is the man for the job. This is someone who becomes one with the crowd and proves it when his set is over, talking and meeting with his fans and friends.
The DJ known as Ruffneck is the choice of partygoers "in on the in". Respected for his contributions to the scene, 'original' partygoers who have been there since day one know. If you don't know, now you do. It's time to get in on the in!
Now known as just "The Ruffneck" the pre-fix 'DJ' has been dropped due to his outstanding studio production and re-mixing abilities in his home studio making him, not only, a premium DJ but also an incredible producer and re-mixer. Forthcoming from The Ruffneck www.drumandbass.org coming soon..
