Bringdaruckus.com (BDR) was the brainchild of Chris Torres who was shocked at the lack of attention Scottish hip-hop gets within the music industry and felt it was time for a change. Chris said, "I was looking to find more information on Scottish hip-hop but found it difficult to locate information on new releases, gigs and artists. Apart from the Scottish hip-hop forum there was not much else. This is when I thought about starting up a website that could remedy this problem. The aim was to build an online community for hip-hop in Scotland. A place where homegrown acts can showcase their talent and fans can get the latest gig information in Scotland." On April 1st 2006, bringdaruckus.com was born.

Drifter Jon we like to try and support interesting people who are doing what they do for the love of it and are basically into sturban clothing and that's how we came across Jon Beezy, here's his bio in his words, we like him but before we go into it we found out 2 interesting facts. His track car does 5 MPG, and for every event he spends £400 on tyres, and that's why this guy needs free clothes from us;-)

Chatting with Juttla

For the last few years there has been a producer out of the Midlands that has really been catching my ear. His name is Juttla and he is a producer that is musically pushing boundaries as he mixes up his Eastern influences with ground-breaking bass led electronica. His first release ‘Angels, Aliens & Assassins’ back in 1999 is now considered to be a classic, and his new album is ‘At War With Satan’ has already been causing a stir with a number of DJ’s including Bobby Friction and Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio One. I managed to grab five minutes of his time to get the lowdown about his new album and his new-look record label.

Okay Juttla, for those that don’t know please tell people what you have released to date.

I released my debut album back in 1999 which is when I also founded my label Eastern Pressure Records. From there I did a few releases for other labels including Swarj, and then licensed a lot of tracks off my debut album ‘Angels, Aliens & Assassins’ to a few compilations in the UK and Europe. I then started getting commissioned to do loads of remixes for various artists including Asian Dub Foundation, Fun-da-mental, Banco De Giai, Wayward Soul, Swami, Aiwa and loads more.

Then around 2004 I started making some chilled out leftfield grooves which eventually led to me producing Hip-Hop. I am very good friends with Tricksta from Wolftown and around 2005 we both decided I should drop an album for Wolftown. This album featured official remixes and fresh tracks all within the Hip-\Hop genre. It featured some big names such as 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G, Slim Thug, The Game, Freeway, JT The Bigga Figga and some UK artists such as LATE, Foreign Beggars, 10Shott, Conman, Creamo, P.A.C, Jai Boo and more. The album was called ‘Bass Kicks, Snares, Spits’ and released in 2006.

Then working with the tempo of Hip-Hop and me coming from a more breakbeat / jungle background I fell in love with Dubstep. I started making that around 2007 and from there started on the album which is ‘At War With Satan’.

Wow! You’ve kept busy then! The new album is on Eastern Pressure Records (your label), does this mean the label is back up and running?

Well I can honestly say that Eastern Pressure is now back, and back in a much bigger and better way. I now have someone running the label full-time which has allowed me to get a healthier release schedule together and put out some of the projects I have had in my head for the last five years. I also now have a world-wide physical and digital distribution deal which I am buzzing about. I feel the distribution I have now can help me to really get my music out there. Do a Google search on the album… LOL, it’s on the HMV, Amazon, Juno and Zaavi website, as well as bigger stores such as Tesco, Borders, Asda and WHSmith sites.

I think releasing my own music and remixing other people’s music for various labels has given me the experience, the knowledge and the confidence to step out with my label again. I think that if you are going to do something and put your name to it, you should always try your absolute best. That’s where I am at now.

What releases have you got planned then?

Well this year, as you know I dropped my album ‘At War With Satan’ along with two singles, and at the start of December I will be releasing the ‘Joyrider EP’ by an artist called Charged, who is actually the producer I remixed ADF with back in the day! A lot of people from the Asian Underground will know of his music from before, but his new style and vibe is just something else. I am so excited by this release.

So anything planned for 2009?

A whole heap of releases!!! We have two compilations that will both be released as double CD’s. I am currently compiling them and am looking for tracks. The first one is called ‘Electronic Taals’ which is an Eastern breakbeat project and then ‘Dubstep Pressure’ a double CD of the deadliest Dubstep being made! Also I have just signed an artist called Barbarix who will be kicking off with an EP which will be followed by a full album. That guy is serious! He is remixing my next Juttla single too.

Actually if there any artists are making good music reading this they should get in touch with Neil, the new label manager at info@easternpressurerecords.com – send us links or Mp3’s!

Okay let’s talk about the album for a minute how would you describe the sound of it?

It’s a mixture of bass heavy Dubstep bangers with a more experimental twist. I try to be original and carve my own sound rather than imitating others. I tried to cover all styles of the Dubstep genre, there are some real techy tracks, straight-up dub, and medi tracks too.

So imagine the scenario. You work in HMV and I am a customer. I am in a rush and want to hear three tracks off your album before I decide to buy it. What three tracks would you play me and why?

Well first up I would play you ‘Ramp With Me’ because it seems to be a track the DJ’s have picked up on. It samples a famous film and gives it that drum’n’bass feel. Secondly I would play you ‘Stalker’ as that will be the third and final single. That track has two automated modulation basslines and is something that fans of Dubstep are loving. It’s straight up ‘smack-you-in-the-face’ Dubstep. Then for the third tune it would have to be ‘Sub Zero’ as this track has a fat bassline and really shows me draw for my Eastern influences injecting Asian spices to add to the flavor!

So what’s next for you as a producer?

I am working on tracks as well as compiling the two compilation albums (‘Electronic Taals’ and ‘Dubstep Pressure’), as well as writing music for my next album for 2009. This will be called ‘Paranoid Nightmares’ and feature a few more vocal tracks with some well-known British artists. I wish I could tell you more, but I don’t want to jinx anything.

Well thanks so much for doing this interview. It’s been a real please speaking with you Juttla. We love your music and wish all the best of luck with your future projects. Before you go please give us all your weblinks.

No seriously thank you Alex, for giving me the opportunity to push and promote everything I am doing. Nice one!

JUTTLA - At War With Satan

I first heard of Juttla when he released his "Bass, Kicks, Snares, Spits" album back in 2006. That was a twenty track Hip-Hop album that featured UK rappers such as Foreign Beggars, 10Shott, LATE and Jai Boo as well as US rappers such as Slim Thug, The Game, Saigon, Deep and many more. Well this new album from Juttla is a change of direction as he serves up some tasty Dusbtep for us all. This is what I would call next level Dubstep, more thought, more creativeness and above all more original. Tracks such as "Ramp With Me" and "Dub Dragon" tear down the dancefloor with ease while the more chilled vibes such as ‘Distant Auras’ so a great deal of diverseness. This is a great album and if you are new to Dubstep this is a good place to start. Juttla has a great unique production sound and is a master of all things bass. Make sure you get this CD now from the website link above!

Juttla - At War With Satan

SturbanClothing sponsored artist JUTTLA has been making a name for himself on the Asian music scene for the last few years remixing Asian Dub Foundation, Fundamental, Banco De Gaia, Wayward Soul, Awia, and many more. JUTTLA is also known on the DJ circuit and has played venues in all over the UK including the legendary Glastonbury Festival twice! He is also know on the international DJ scene and has rocked dance-floors in Cape Town (South Africa), Amsterdam (Holland), Brussels (Belgium), Paris (France), Warsaw (Poland) and Rome & Sicily (Italy).

His new album ‘At War With Satan’ is his first Dubstep album and has already received plays from Bobby Friction, Nihal, Annie Mac, Nerm & D-Code on BBC Radio 1, as well as numerous plays on Galaxy FM, BBC Asian Network and HHBRadio.com. JUTTLA will also be doing a UK Tour in September and an official album launch party in London. ‘At War With Satan’ features fourteen brand new tracks which have been available on CD before.


Featuring the singles ‘Dub Dragon’ and ‘Ramp With Me’, as well as a bunch of other brand new tracks. JUTTLA is without a doubt one of the true pioneers of the whole Asian underground music scene and this new album shows his growth as a producer. As a drum’n’bass producer his music has featured on compilations alongside Goldie & Mickey Finn and as an Urban music producer he did official remixes which featured the likes of The Game, Freeway, Slim Thug and more. Now moving into the whole of Dubstep with his unique twist, JUTTLA has already started working on his next album which promises to features some well known names from the UK Urban scene.

This album is a future classic. Call it Dubstep, call it Leftfield, call it Dance, call it Electronica, call it Asian, call it whatever you want, but we call it ‘At War With Satan’! JUTTLA and the Eastern Pressure Records label have come good once again. Expect more ground-breaking music from Eastern Pressure Records in the future as they promise to deliver the cream of the crop from the Asian music scene as well as some more artist albums.

Juttla

We sponsor loads of people that you probably never hear about but Juttla is making big moves recently Mary Ann Hobbs has been plying his latest offering Sub Zero, here’s a little bit about him and some image of Juttla rocking Arcus he’s a name worth keeping an eye on always doing something different and original.


Producer Juttla first started out making music in the early nineties having a string of releases on various independent record labels. With a history of successful tracks under his belt, he began to fuse all the elements of his influences to create a unique hybrid of Eastern and Western sounds. With the release of his debut album Angels, Aliens & Assassins in 1998, Juttla soon began to get the respect he rightfully deserved blessing the covers of magazines, DJing all over Europe and South Africa, holding residencies at various club nights, receiving radio play in the UK and the US, as well as being commissioned to do a string of remixes for various labels. From breakbeat and chilled down tempo groovers, to leftfield hip-hop, cutting edge drum n bass and dubstep, Juttla has all angles covered.
