Now residing in North London via Bristol and Cardiff, Rockwell has become prolific in a very short amount of time due to a series of strong productions, each taking a fresh and different approach to the drum and bass blueprint. With releases scheduled for some of the scenes largest labels: Digital Soundboy, Critical, and Shogun, 2010 will see Rockwell become one of the leading new producers in the scene. With wide reaching support from Djs such as Andy C, Shy Fx, Friction, Noisia and Hype, to Alix Perez, Icicle, Spectrasoul, Breakage and even Radio 1’s Gilles Peterson, Rockwell is one of an increasingly rare breed of producers whose tunes are suited to both the big raves and small intimate dances.
Although being introduced to Drum and Bass quite late when attending University in Bristol, Rockwell’s musical background enabled him to pick up Djing quite quickly. Earning his Djing stripes playing week in week out as a resident of renowned Cardiff night Aperture, now he sees himself sharing lineups with many of his peers in London clubs such as Fabric and receiving bookings as far away as St Petersburg.
Progressing into production after becoming hooked on Djing, the six years of hard work are beginning to pay off, with collaborations with Icicle, Zero T and Stapleton receiving regular rotation, and with high profile remixes for Sabre, C4C and others outside of the drum and bass scene on the cards for 2010, Rockwell’s’ future is looking bright.
Respect Records is glad to present its 1st vinyl release. 12 inch plate represents 2 parts of modern drum&bass music and contains compositions by Russian producers.
red side: BES & RECEPTOR 'Shiva'
white side: ABSTRACT ELEMENTS 'Erpeh'
Dance moods and neuro sound of woken up Shiva attract the listener to external displays and have made the track by Bes & Receptor as much as possible expected on large parties not only in Russia. On the other side Abstract Elements show ultra futuristic minimal sound in its best displays which immerses a person in itself even on a dancefloor. We love both these tracks, and this mutual respect of the opposite points of view expresses the wisdom of our label to hold on the golden middle in music...
