Biography of James Ruskin

Growing up in London and New Milton, Hampshire James Ruskin caught the HIp-Hop bug through the likes of the Tim Westwood radio show and the Electro Series on Street Sounds at an early age. When House started seeping into the more progressive nightclubs James started to take note of this new and infectious groove. Via the gravitational slingshot of a Motor City sonic shockwave, the sound of Techno swept him off his feet and has remained ever since.

Inspired by these new pioneering sounds James took up DJing and eventually secured club bookings. With like minded friend, Richard Polson, he relocated to London in 1994 and began building a new studio. Conscious of developing their own sound the pair worked on material for the next two years, releasing an EP on Guilty Records as 'Void' until they were confident enough to release a four track EP that captured their own style. 'First Contact' by Outline became their first release on 'Ruskin's' label, Blueprint Records in May 1996.

With the label gaining momentum James's DJ bookings started to take off. Resident at Gecko, London with Bloodsugar's Rick Hopkins he also began taking bookings all over the UK and Europe. His DJ roster now reads like a well established CV. His DJing has been witnessed at House of God (Birmingham), Black Out (Glasgow), EuroBeat 2000 (London), Attack (Reading), U-Club (Slovakia), The Complex (London), The Liquid Rooms (Tokyo), Club Rockets (Osaka), Atomic Jam (Birmingham), Geushky (Portsmouth), Dynamic Tension at Tresor (Berlin), Fusion (Nottingham), Ultraschall (Munich), Hurytan (Slovakia), and Amorphous (Leicester), Lakota (Bristol), a bi-monthly residency at Tresor (Berlin), Chicago, New York, Detroit, Bugged Out (Manchester), Art Futura (Madrid), Barcelona, Voodoo (Liverpool), Budapest, Berlin Love Parade, Malta, Dublin (Kitchen) and a monthly residency with Andrew Weatherall at Circulation (London).

With Blueprint Records gathering respect the world over, his debut album 'Further Design' released on 20th July, 1998 has propelled his status as one of the UK techno scenes leading lights. His records are being played by the likes of Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke, Suregeon, Andrew Weatherall, Claude Young, Fumiya Tanaka, Steve Bicknell and many other techno DJs. Select magazine quoted in their October 1997 edition: 'Blueprint Records. The best techno in ages. and it's British'.

Biography of Regis

Karl O'Connor AKA Regis is England's reigning heir to the throne of electronic incognito. Influences for his strictly regional tastes lie scattered mostly among the early UK pioneers Throbbing Gristle, Robert Rental, Cabaret Voltaire, Fad Gadget and Wire with possibly even closer developmental ties to Germany's sonic movements via Einstürzende Neubauten, D.A.F. and Liason Dangereuses (feat. Chrislo Haas).

Working solely within Britain's arm of Industrial might and decay in the Birmingham borough of Halesowen, O'Connor and Peter Sutton (Female) launched Downwards Records in late 1993 with the debut Hostage (O'Connor/Sutton) and Surgeon releases to manic acclaim. Magnetic electronic thunder cut dark swathes through the big parties for the first time with O'Connor's instantaneously recognizable black envelope of deep atmosphere and suffocating basslines. Skillfully keeping looped Industrial elements well within musical realms became O'Connor's forté and reputation with the early 'Montreal', 'Application of Language' and 'We Said No' twelve-inches. The worldwide reactions to his backcatalog triggered a renewed focus on serious UK Techno heralded by the Downwards imprint. Without being market-led, it was a fresh new statement and from raw talent, but most important for the sound was the unmistakable imprint of O'Connor's hand in the art.

In 1996, O'Connor's progress reached crowning maturity with the Regis 'Gymnastics' album/double-twelve-inch; the penultimate signature of his raw and dynamic edge. The sound was the uniqueness that he had been searching for which encapsulated and forged the cornerstone of both his and the label's identity. A deep-seated and vital root in the Birmingham Techno scene and sound, O'Connor's hard minimal Techno is rife with subtle layers of complex textures, tones and loops. Although closely linked to the fiercely independent core of Downwards producers (Surgeon, Female, Portion Reform and Regis), Karl O'Connor's own sound and never-give-up DIY success has kept Downwards well-respected while in the limelight and more importantly, without getting burned by it.

In his characteristically unfailing dedication to music, O'Connor set up the Integrale Muzique distribution company in 1996 with partners Antonio Soares-vieira (Raoul Delgardo) and Peter Sutton. O'Connor captained the label with further album releases by Surgeon, Female, and Portion Reform while continuing to play live throughout Europe and America. A relatively 'quiet' 1997 further stabilized Integrale and led up to the second Regis double-pack 'Delivered Into the Hands of Indifference' (1998) and his first recordings for Tresor ('The Theme From Streetwalker' and 'Guiltless') all of which displayed more subtle tone and texture usages within his still uncomprimising and equally unique, multi-layered production style.

'The myth is greater than what I've actually put out.' - Regis (Magic Feet)

In addition to authoring a book about a Birmingham asylum ward, a new and progressively darker face of O'Connor's sound was reflected in his 'Divine Ritual' and 'Blood Into Gold' EP's (1999), both playing out ritualistic last rites in the final temple with tribal magic and chanting. Lifting the veil of mystique for 2000, O'Connor and Peter Sutton have recorded 'Againstnature' in their first-ever album/double-pack outside of Downwards. Demarcating the return to their Industrial roots, the forge and the welding torch play much more significantly than traditional electronics as they are now known. Chaos with underlying structure more than 'tracks'.

The Downwards and O'Connor stronghouses continue to remain unmoved among the many fashions and backlashes. Those with the Understanding remain an almost secret society of devotees in the UK and abroad. Shirking conforming compromise and defying media darling status never sounded so good.

Comment: Total sell out stuff. First tracks conning you into thinking its going to be a good deep techno set but it jjust turns into boring minimal regurgatated boringness. A couple of acid tracks near the end are reasonable and there is a funkyish tune in the middle somewhere. The ast tune is pants like a nursery ryhme.
