The RUFFSKOOL launch party is happening Saturday 22 Dec @ Scheld'Apen in Antwerpen, and we have put together a line-up with the cream of the crop of oldskool Jungalists.
DJ Trax will headline the night with a storming early nineties jungle/rave set, stuffed with beauties from his collection. Trax was already releasing tunes on Brain Records in 1990 and on Moving Shadow in 1991. Being a resident at IchiOne in Amsterdam, we've been witness of his heavy skills on the decks many a time, so expect nothing less than the RUFFness!
Dago is a main figure in the Belgian music scene as a drummer, producer and DJ. The older boys and girls among us will remember him as the one and only Jungle pioneer of our little country. Resident DJ @ Fuse and Food, playing at I Love Techno, It's Like a Jungle and 10 Days Off, Dago is a man that's been around and blown people's socks off with crazy breakbeats countless times...now it's your turn!
The graveyard shift goes to the most infamous graveyard shift DJ in the city: Stekker. Antwerp party people will know him as the soul controller on the wheels, commander of the space cruiser destination Unknown. His specialties are dirty elektro, acid, detroit, experimental electronics and rave. At the Ruffskool, Stekker will pull out his most ravey uplifting tunes.
We feel that music is just a part of the whole experience on the dancefloor, so to enhance yours we're lucky to have between our friends two of the most talented visual artists around. You'll probably know Teknar from Bambu parties, his work with Jerboa, and his sets accompanying the biggest of names: from Roni Size to DJ Shadow to Amon Tobin. Blub Video recently moved from Barcelona to Belgium and was resident VJ at what must be Barcelona's biggest club: Razzmatazz. These two have joined forces and are already cooking up something special for the night.
Last but not least a special extra for the launch, and if it's a success we'll continue it, is a small jungle/dnb record fair starting 2 hours before the party. We've already spoken to a bunch of well-known DJ's who might want to sell some of their stuff and it looks like it's gonna be a cosy get-together definately worth checking. Come early, have a drink and snatch up some bargains!
Alright, enough words i guess (more on the preliminary website) so we'll leave you with the flyer, designed by Kastor
