'The Concept'

Light | Smooth – Out Of Time

The virus lands in form of ‘Out Of Time’ by Slovenia's freshest new artist ‘Smooth’.

The contamination begins with an infectious melody; light drums clear the path as faded

cries blend into an evocative vocoded vocal, as a low pass filter runs over the rolling bass

lines, the cries blend into an unforgettable melody; forged in the sounds of hypnotic violins.

The virus hits the blood stream, dilating the pupils and sending the tune in to top gear.

The arousing rolling sub bass is released in full glory, moved along by uplifting; light

hearted drums. The violin melody bounces off the cries as we progress deeper into the tune,

a 16th bar shuffle discharges the vocal creating an amazing sequence of events.

An absolutely amazing and memorable piece of music.

Dark | Aqua-Tek – Stay Close

The virus has taken over, the cells have split replicating rapidly as ‘Out Of Time’

tries to hold on to it’s being, it quickly transforms into the darker side in shape of

‘Aqua-Tek’s’ pounding ‘Stay Close’.

The vocoded vocals are transformed, and the former soft sub bass leaks into a swirling

reese’s atmosphere. The drums now darker and harder introduce themselves as they take over

the body, the inside virus is almost at full strength as the stabs of distorted bass fight

their way out, like the calm before the storm, the last breath of air is exhausted in solace…

the virus has taken over and drops ‘Stay Close’ into a new structure. Swirling thick reeses wrap

around every cell in the neuron while heavy steppy drums lead the way forward, the chunky deep

sub bass resounds through the tune as distorted bass layers smother and layer the tune keeping it

exciting and interesting.

A dancefloor and Cerebral experience like no other, not to be missed.

Light | Kyrad – Hook It.

Happily unaffected by the Ruse virus, ‘Hook It’ created by Switzerland’s newest producer Kyrad

kicks off with uplifting sweeps and perfectly created harmony, feed along by a number of layered

hats. The drums drop inducing a cheer as it approaches the drop the harmonies build as ‘Hook It’

drops for the first time. A surprisingly heavy section of steppy drums kick in, yet uniquely hold a

light uplifting liquid flavor to the tune, beautifully placed samples fill the verse and smooth sub

bass adds the drive. As the tune progresses the first sign of infection shows as complementing

neuro reese’s are minimally applied to perfect effect while additional strings come into play

giving ‘Hook It’ it’s wonderful hook.

A great tune for the liquid heads but easily fitted into any set build up.

Dark | Subterra & Dekko – Eclipse

It’s become apparent the subject is infected, ‘Subterra & Dekko’s’ ‘Eclipse’ awakes with eerie

atmospheres, not present before it’s slumber.

Retaining the steppy sequence of ‘Hook It’ the darkness of the drums has increased immensely and

the uplifting melodies have been drained. As the pads sweep and ponder how to bypass the final wall

for total infection a kick silences everything as a techie bass stab destroys the final hurdle.

‘Eclipse’ smashes down with an incredible wall of sound, completely destroying all sense of the

Nervous system and any club system. The powerful drums, while minimal in structure; surrounded by

deep heavy bass, create a huge sound, the mind has lost control. Subtle reese’s and wooden hits

progress the tune helping to ensure you never get tired of hearing it, but for now all is lost

the virus is in control.

An absolute club smasher, for those who like it minimal but heavy this is your Adrina Lima..

’Continuum EP'

Ruse Records presents ‘Continuum EP’.

This time we’ve tried something different, we’ve moved out side the usual sound of our Ruse Concept

of 'Light and Dark Neuro influenced' releases and showcase two different sides of the Drum and Bass

Spectrum; from some extremely talented producers drawn from different sides of the globe including New

Zealand, USA and Europe, utilizing the ‘Deeper’ sounds from one edge of the spectrum from Urban Notion

and .Lotus to the Technoid sounds at the other edge of the spectrum from Yabol and Lethal & Khanage

with kalashnikov.

‘Continuum EP’ is a derivative from the gradual transition from one side of the Drum and Bass Spectrum

to the other.

We show case two tracks from the ‘Deeper’ side of the spectrum to two tracks from the ‘Technoid’ side

of the spectrum.

'The Concept'

Deeper – Urban Notion – Insomnia

This group of New Zealand producers, come correct with a beautiful piece of art with ‘Insomnia’.

Squelching reeces introduce tight and powerful drums while horns and melodies blend and morph

into each other inducing a hypnotic state, a semi poignant reverberated vocal dictates every

drum and bass producers motto: ‘I shall not sleep’ as the tune hit’s it’s first huge drop, a

colossal wall of deep bass is released, to the listeners enjoyment. As the drums kick in anyone

standing still will automatically start moving.

The New Zealand heritage of these producers can be felt in the flavor brought to this track and like New

Zealand parties this track is full of fun, vibes and a great time! Huge track!

Technoid – Lethal, Khanage + Kalashnikov - Contaminate

This incredible team effort from a barrage of this sounds best artists, creates the metallic Technoid

influenced monster that is ‘Contaminate’.

Unsettling layers of beats start the progression as the metallic hard hitting drums join forces to get

this tune turned fiend underway, rumbling sub bass carries the tune along while dirty reese’s bubble,

morph then tear along the layers taking everything in it’s path along fore the ride.

The tune breaks down with a minimal approach to the storm, the drums are reintroduced leading the 1st

few bars which then seem to get injected with the drug everyone wants, a bridge before the drop then

back in to the madness, multiple reese layers not seen in the previous section of the tune are added

helping the progression of this tune and ride into hell.

Deeper – .Lotus – How can I Love Her

A new super group consisting of 3 producers, Spherix (from Catacombs), Signal (from Robot Death Squad)

and Aqua-Tek join together for their first of what looks like many great releases.

‘How Can I Love Her’, starts of with alluring bass knocks and cords, a well processed female vocal

prepares you for the drop as the bass knocks and strings calm the setting, the drop is lushly set in

deep sub bass with brooding reeses, a very sophisticated tune fusing a subtle yet very tech element

with a deep emotional vibe.

An extremely versatile and appealing tune, perfect for any set and every mp3 player.

Technoid – Yabol - Dissociation

Polish producer Yabol creates an absolute masterpiece with Dissociation.

Taking the core sound, roots and influence of the Techno genera like no other Technoid tune, the

unconditional fusion of the two means you could fit perfect in a Techno or Drum and Bass set and

still be completely overwhelmed by the tune.

The groove is set and the intro begins, a jumping cacophony of layers gradually evolve into the drum,

powerful drums then lead the intro into a break down which like the title name, displaces you from earth;

from the breakdown ‘Yabol’ builds you back up with muffled sub bass waiting to get out, it’s wish is

granted and the full tune explodes into action with high energy drums and complimenting layers building

and driving.

The tune gradually breaks down half way through the tune and enters into full techno mode, continuing the

influential groove for the next minute encompassing all that is Technoid giving just enough time

‘Dissociation’ drops back into the Drum and Bass fusion that helps this masterpiece to have received

support all over the world and deliver awe and admiration for listeners and producers alike.

'Flies Of The Lord EP'

Ruse Records presents ‘Flies Of The Lord EP’.

This will show case the Ruse Records concept of 'Light and Dark' releases while keeping on the

Neurofunk and progressive tip.

‘Flies Of The Lord’ takes it theme from the Nobel Prize-winning author William Golding’s novel,

‘Lord Of The Flies’.

The Ruse Records concept depicts the imagery of this novel through the light and dark releases

wonderfully constructed within this EP.

‘We Are Space’ and ‘Lucid’ represent the lighter, uplifting side of this novel; the new experience

of being on a tropical island with no parents or authority, the fun and joy of doing what you want

when you wanted in a beautiful paradise.

‘Shiva’ and ‘Tokio Ya No Nos Quiere’ represent the darker side of the concept, events turn bad, the

children revolt, turn on each other, animals are slaughtered and ultimately a human life is lost,

taking you to a harder, darker place.

Receiving support world wide from some of the scenes biggest names including Concord Dawn (NZ),

Jade (HUN), Black Sun Empire (NL), State Of Mind (NZ), Apex (UK), Insideinfo (UK), Brooklyn (CZ),

Cern (NZ), Axiom (CH), Lynx (UK), Dose (NZ), Matt-U (HUN), Nymfo (NL), Artificial Intelligence (UK)

'The Concept'

Light – Alex Pusher – We Are Space

Alex Pusher creates a beautifully constructed tune with ‘We Are Space’.

The Liquid foundation of this tune takes you through a brilliantly musical ride as you first touch

down on this tropical paradise.

Wonderfully sequenced crisp breaks and smooth progressive bass lines layered with catchy melodies

and atmospherics with subtle sounds of neurofunk influenced bass lines throughout help create this

very dance floor oriented tune, uniquely placed drum fills and jubilant strings keep things interesting

as the tune progresses and builds. Two thirds of the way through ‘We are Space’ climaxes, with a

complete change and the whole tune is suddenly engulfed by a hugely weighted bass line changing the

whole sound of the tune, but for only a moment, as the breakdown and drums fill transition you back

into the original journey but with new passengers.

Dark – Malsum_and_Shintuza – Shiva (kRoNe Remix)

kRoNe’ steps up to remix ‘Malsum and Shintuza’s’ mighty ‘Shiva’, and with devastating effect.

Hard hitting drums, breaks like ten ton hammers push this progressive neurofunk masterpiece, a

reverberated cacophony of deep, heavy basslines, haunting females’ choir vocals and are surrounded

by displaced ambience and atmospherics which give a contrast to the high energy resulting from the big

beats and basslines, a hypnotic, big hitting tune with destructive power on the dancefloor.

Light – Felon and Sidius – Lucid

Felon and Sidius pair up for ‘Lucid’. This production duo flex their combined masterful engineering

skills to create the 2nd part of the lighter, musical concept of this release.

Trancy synth cuts lead the intro into a sets of heavy, crisp drums which pave the way forward into

this progressive musical ride, atmospherics rise and swirl with the synth as it breaks down to the

first drop, and when it drops the whole world will know, The Virus created Bassline is dropped on

silent air as a teaser, while the drums and associates elements join at full levels on the next bar

thrusting the listener into a knocky bass stabbing verse, the bassline doubled up and spaciously panned

fills the whole floor as uplifting pads and melodies help create a musical and very dance floor oriented

release, a contradicting progressive Theremin keeps things interesting and adds a soft eerie element to

this beautifully crafted uplifting tune.

Dark – Malsum - Tokio Ya No Nos Quiere

Malsum produces one of the hottest tune this year in form of ‘Tokio Ya No Nos Quiere’.

An experimental intro leads you into another world, while you’re placed in space before this ship takes off,

the tune breaks down to the 1st drop, as the drums are killed an admirably placed vocal states ‘Panic’

in a moment of calm as ‘Tokio Ya No Nos Quiere’ drops into a barrage of techy bass stabs and drum hits.

Thinking the tune has dropped for the next 8 bars the real drops lands, huge techy rolling bass stabs

surrounded by a set of heavy breaks sequenced with an increase of drum layers creates a whole new level

of energy, as the tune progresses, ingeniously engineered reeses growl over the techy bass stabs creating

one of the tunes of the year and dancefloor killers of this decade.

'The Concept'

Dr Jekyll - InsideInfo - Megadrive One VIP

Insideinfo starts the EP off in extremely fine form, encompassing the playful adventurous

mind of Dr Jekyll before the madness of Hyde is unleashed. This rolling, exciting, fulfilled

adventure is aided by melodic strings and uplifting samples, the solid and expertly precise drums

create the foundation of this tale taking the listener on a continually forward moving adventure.

Smooth deep bass lines resound throughout the journey smothered in underlying neuro bass

layers which help to add an extra element to this diverse story, another killer on the dance

floor for all those who like it rolling.

Mr Hyde : Insideinfo - Clash

Insideinfo directs an audible performance of a man caught between a million thoughts, Clash

is taken through stages of thunderous bass lines and foundered on a complex labyrinth of drums

and the bass heavy roars of the tortured mind can be heard resounding throughout the movie

ensuring any event goers are unable to stay in their seats. The harmonic orchestral choir strings

help set the stage as your conscience is drawn into his dream, calm overwhelms you for only a moment,

then Clash thrusts you back into the twisted nightmare of chain saw like bass lines and disturbed

beats. A dance floor smasher.

Dr Jekyll : Materia - Standing Still VIP

Materia brings his Swiss techniques to the cast of Standing Still VIP, an updated lick to the

original classic ‘Standing Still’, the beautiful vocal driven performance is accompanied

by dubby neuro bass lines wrapped in a arousing tape delay, this techy cross of Liquid / Neuro and Dub

helps provide a enjoyable tune on both dance floors and MP3 players, neuro bass edits throughout

keep the flow interesting and progressive.

Mr Hyde : Sidewalk - Night Ghosts

Sidewalk steps in to score the epic Night Ghosts, he creates an eerie start to this

epic tale with displaced hi hats and atmospherics. The film of sound then starts to takes life

with a masterfully crafted hip hop beat layered with bubbling, morphing bass stabs, drawing the

audience in to the calm before the storm. Suddenly Night Ghosts drops with a fast moving freight

train of heavy drums and whirling bass lines morphing from shape to shape, the deep sub bass carries

this neuro roller along gaining more and more energy as it progresses. The Bass lines begin to shift;

expanding to the bridge and on re entering the bass fades then teases with heavy sub bass and

lets the drums rolls out to the break down. Touching back from where it started Night Ghosts starts

to build again, all elements now excited; the drums and introduced with full effect; the bass lines

twisting and morphing; a new added layer of distortion adds to the growing energy of the tune as all

hell breaks loose and the universe no longer exists, not one for the faint hearted and a

huge crowd pleaser.
