Ruffneck Ting

Ruffneck Ting is a Bristol based jungle club that has been an integral partof the jungle and dnb music scene for three decades.

The club was founded in 1993 by DJ Dazee and Markee Ledge, who met by chance as house- sharing ravers but soon found their musical calling as Dj’s and producers, united by their passion for the emerging sound of jungle music. Since then, Ruffneck Ting has been suppor ted and nurtured by a growing loyal crew including Knowledge Magazine’s founders and dedicated jungle fans around the globe. The club has hosted countless memorable nights, from its residencies at the Trinity Centre to its recent appearances at festivals like Boomtown and Glastonbury. Along the way, it has become known for its commitment to promoting new talent, with many up- and- coming DJs, producers and MC’s getting their first break at Ruffneck Ting.

The warm and friendly jungle vibes that started on Bristol dance floors in 93, evolved onto wax in 1995 with the launch of Ruffneck Ting Records which helped take the sound to new worldwide audiences. Now with over 300 releases and artists like Serum, Jinx, Kjah, Verdikt, Saxxon of course Dazee contributing to the catalogue, the label has achieved a string of DL number ones and support from the scene’s biggest players.

Since its early exposure with Dazee and Jakes shows on Bristol Pirate Stations, Ruffneck Ting has continued to boldly broadcast its jungle- jump- up hybrid sound. The club features in a now infamous 1996 documentary aired on HTV “Sounds Of The West” alongside Roni Size, Krust, and Smith and Mighty and has featured on BBC Radio 1, 1xtra, BBC Radio 6, Ministry of Sound, Kool FM, SWU FM & UKF.

To celebrate its 30th Year, Ruffneck Ting has an album underway, the third in their “Xtraordinary League Of Junglists” series. The first single from the XLJ 3 album “Badder” by Euphonique & Bam Bam dropped in March 23 and will be followed by a series of singles and full album, ft label OG’s Dazee, Jinx and Kjah, plus fresh talent including Fryday and Jenni Groves. Additionally, “30 years of Ruffneck Ting” took place throughout 2023 at prestigious events hosted by Trinity, Motion, Arcadia, Run, Hospitality On The Beach and Love Saves The Day with more TBA for 2024.

Despite the music scene’s changes over the years, Ruffneck Ting has stayed true to its roots, remaining a fiercely independent and uncompromising force in the world of jungle music. For anyone looking to experience the raw energy and excitement of this genre, there' s no better place to be than Ruffneck Ting.

Watch The Bass - (3:52) 176 BPM
   
DJ Dazee - "Happiness" - (3:44) 175 BPM
   
Jenni Groves - "Charging" (Jinx remix) - (4:52) 175 BPM Hot
Review: Not content with dropping a massive compilation album with Euphonique on Jungle Cakes this month, Bristol legend Dazee is also laying the absolute smack down with this mighty triptych on her own imprint Ruffneck Ting. 'Watch The Bass' kicks off the EP with a series of big choppy breaks and woozy horns. It sets the scene and vibes for the rest of the EP as 'Happiness' harbours a simply stunning soulful sample midway, igniting a huge rush of euphoria, and Jinx joins the fray to finish up the EP with a killer remix of fellow Ruffneck warrior Jenni Groves. Watch out!

The Force & Jeopardize - "Fight Night" - (4:45) 175 BPM
Review: Ruffneck Ting are a label perfectly placed on the border between jungle and jump-up, and this EP from The Force displays their aptitude in selecting the best of both strains. It's a gentle, subtle yet damaging release, one which flows upon a bed of soul yet comes out with fists flying at the other end. 'Second Sight' has the type of funkiness that only reggae music can provide, with stabbing bass touches providing lift and sensation to its clattering, rough and tumble drums. 'Stop The Show' is heavier and has more weight packed behind its stuttering percussion, its bassline wonderfully bouncy and dripping with the sunny skies, eyes closed heritage of reggae and dub music. Wicked.

Get Up - (4:34) 175 BPM
Review: Following a couple of samplers, Verdikt has the second part of his Ready Fe Dem LP dropping on Ruffneck Ting and it's absolutely unreal. Nine tracks long and full of diversity, this LP is full to the brim with urban attitude and gritty textures, from the scatty percussion of 'Monkey Head' to the clean, precise needle points of 'Rained Off'. 'Bristol Girls' is especially good, as warm synth waves bend themselves through the range and wrap around its tight, driving bassline, a rolling number which those into sound system culture will be all over. Top piece of work.

Ready Fe Dem LP2 Sampler 2
   
Batman - (4:10) 175 BPM Hot
   
Rained Off (feat Deviant) - (5:09) 172 BPM
Review: The accused looks up from the dock. First to the judge, then to the jury. They have this man's life in the palm of their hands. "What's the verdict for Verdikt?" asks the be-wigged judge, all pompous and gammon. "We find him guilty of two crimes of first degree gulliness!" they cry. The accused grins mischievously in response. If they found the swinging 60s horns and surreal rubber ball bassline drop of 'Batman' and the stripped back bubbling bassline wriggler 'Rained Off' gully then just wait until they hear even more the album. It's 'Ready Fe Dem' but are they ready for it?! The case continues...

Euphonique & Dazee - "Feel So" - (4:40) 175 BPM Hot
Review: Euphonique has absolutely smashed this one. She's here with this four-track release packing all the creativity and attitude that we've come to expect. The first tune is vintage Euphonique, with an urban vocal and a stuttering array of jungle breaks that piece together into a really creative bit of music. The others are all pure rollers, with that Souped Up or KoTR vibe, and our favorite is probably 'Baddest Gal', just because that bassline is far too gully for us not to be into it. Big ups.

Talk Box - (4:48) 175 BPM
Played by: Brian Brainstorm
Review: Featuring some nostalgic, retro-esque artwork, Jinx lands on Ruffneck Ting with a jungle-influenced journey through D&B's rougher side. Ruffneck Ting don't have a reputation for being a label that'll hold your hand and this is clearly evident throughout Bad In The Area, none more so than on the title track. With a barebones, stripped back approach that's reminiscent of Digital or Spirit, Jinx combines old-school sampling with a distinct rawness to emphasise the track's low-frequency weight. This style is replicated across the other tunes to varying degrees but there's one constant: unadulterated sounds with the aim of serious dancefloor pressure. If that's your thing, then this EP is certainly for you.

Played by: IKON-B, Jinx, K Jah, Dj Dazee
Review: Ruffneck Ting mainstay The Force lays down five firing jungle shock-outs: "Birmingham Crew" doffs its snapback to the Midlands massive with detuned FX mischief, "Brain Activity" deftly toys with cinematic strings, 50s sci-fi samples and a bulbous sub, "Poison Dart" is a modern take on the classic Urban Takeover sound with contemporary production weight behind the loony bass riff while "Life Cycle" taps into the dark pools of inspiration from the late nineties with a Ram Trilogy-style bass/vocal approach. Finally we hit the life-affirming rave tones of "Ruffneck Soundboy". A veritable label anthem, it sums up all parties with succinct sweetness. Insert 'The Force is strong on this one' comment right here.

Played by: Jinx, K Jah, Dj Dazee
Review: Keeping it Bristol: Ruffneck Ting continue the heat with this healthy, wealthy five tracker. Three originals from the duo include a menacing, belching, spaced-out jump up stepper "Red Planet", the alien combination of rolling beats and angular sheet metal bass on "Frostbite" and the sharper, starker, more paranoid "Nikel". Remix-wise Ruffneck Ting have brought in the big guns: both Jinx and Saxxon deliver superlative twists on "Pandorum" and "Red Planet"... And they do so while reminding us that having an x in your name is really cool. Bon voyage brave spacemen.

Played by: DJ Sappo, Euphonique, Jinx, K Jah
Review: Rising UK junglist Verdikt gets lively with Bristol skank bastions Ruffneck Ting. With a dubwise vibe rolling throughout, it's another ageless document: "Chalice Pipe" warns of naughty narcotic combos while horns pierce the darkness with balance and funk, "On The Corner" is all about the subs and snares that punctuate in a fashion similar to Digital or, more recently, Stealth. "Cornerstone" is a classic jump-up flavour a la DJ Stretch while "Money First" jitters with a strange sample, humming subs and an array of classic zap FX. The verdict? Guilty... Of pure gulliness.

K Jah & Jinx - "We're Rolling" - (5:37) 175 BPM
Played by: Euphonique, Jinx
Review: Brummie bass-whipper goes on a co-lab crusade for his latest Ruffneck Ting EP. "Get Busier" sets the tone with syrupy bass that oozes and stretches over his robust drum work. A triptych of tag-team jams ensues: Vytol takes K Jah to deeper corners of the dance with a stripped back stepper that's reminiscent of Break or perhaps S.P.Y's early material, Ruffneck Ting queen Dazee adds a little bounce with the Urban Takeover-style "Dig This" before Jinx joins the fray for the heaviest hitter of the collection: "We're Rolling" sums up K Jah, Jink and Ruffneck Ting's spirit with a ballsy, scuffy Moving Fusion-flavoured dynamic that wouldn't have gone amiss in 1998. Powerful.

Genetix & Habitat - "Adrenaline" - (4:49) 175 BPM
Review: Habitat and Genetix return to Ruffneck Ting to present their latest world-conquering beats and this time, they might just manage their mission. Soulful and packed with attitude, Habitat's opener "Power moves" sets the scene ready for the pair to work together on the old school influenced "Back In The Day" where breaks fly fast and loose, crashing all over a minimal backdrop of thick bass. "Monster" rolls out hard, offering the most straightforward of the tunes, the perfect club uniting track. Finally "Habitat" seeks truth in De La Soul's "Rock Co. Kane Flow", adding huge wobbling bass and double time percussion. The perfect mix of hard and fast.

Review: Let Ruffneck Ting present you with all the junglism you need right now to have yourself the first big weekend of the summer. Expect more than a jump up rampage, this LP has a dose of all the good stuff ready and waiting, from the old school majestics of "Inside Out" to the wile out jungle of Jinx's "Killing Vibes" and "Do you Love". It's a varied collection of tracks ranging from the sublime to the downright dutty and to be honest, there's not much else you need in the world, is there? Turn it up, snap open a can and get shufflin.

Review: The original Bristol jungle outpost Ruffneck Ting is back in operation and sounding as vital as ever on the strength of this release from The Force vs Habitat. For all those who bitterly complain about the lack of soul, imagination and rawness in modern day D&B, look no further than this four-track salvo that makes it feel like '96 all over again. Habitat keep things decidedly bouncy and not a little bit cheeky on "See Me Coming", while "Razor Blade" heads into more devoutly junglistic territory to deadly effect. The Force has a smoother blend on offer with the big leads of "City Love" bringing a little Detroit magic to the mix, while "Musical War" rubs a little rootsy skank into the crisp breakbeats.

Review: Ruffneck Ting present Vytol, a Birmingham based producer who's got more heavyweight credentials than Gregg Wallace has had hot dinners. Working through four very different soundscapes on this ambitious EP, there are influences from the old school right through to the modern jump-up greats. Starting out with a step-to rhythm and ice cold production to get heads down and feet shuffling, things move on and up to large bass-driven sounds before rounding up on final track "Go There" with some tasty tropical vibes. Get yourself acquainted.

Review: If you're a fan of reggae and rocksteady culture, you'll know that moonstomping was the dancefloor etiquette back in the day. The Force hasn't so much taken on board the heavy booted stomp of the '80s as run a mile with it in day-glo Nikes. Featuring the original sample from Symarip's classic, it's about time Doc Martens met dancefloors up and down the UK again. "Universe" takes on a full-pelt modern junglist tip rounding off the release with a heads-down skanking opportunity. Get your dancing boots on.

Review: Returning to Ruffneck Ting with another superb solo artist EP is the supremely talented workaholic wizard, Jinx. This selection aims to take us all on a sonic journey, "fully charged with planet shaking bass" according to the official words, so we can solemnly swear that it's up to no good. "Men Are From Mars" picks up and destroys instantly, rolling out hard and setting the standard for "Lost Time", which loses the cosmic sounds and gets elbow deep in some seriously soulful stepping material. "Energy" bounces back some vibes inthe place complete with warp-speed tempo, sirens and turbo-charged War Of The Worlds horns. Finally, "People" sets the phasers to "move that ass" as subs, smooth vocals and a marching beat work together in a conspiracy to get dancefloors shaking. You ready?

Review: Legendary label Ruffneck Ting do their thing once again with the return of K Jah to bring the real sounds of jungle back to the dancefloor. This five-track monster rips it up from start to finish, with more fire than an octogenarian's birthday cake. First up to bring the vibes is "Supaclash" with its giant bass and even bigger selection of well-poised sampling. Following up with hard-rolling "Rough Times" and old-school tinted dancefloor-shaking "It Gets Better" there's a plethora of influences here ripe for the picking. "That's A Fact" follows up with a skank-along beats, filth bass and hip-hop vocals, and finally the greatest sweets in the world get a look in with "Cola Cubes" featuring Vytol, a dark and dingy look into the early hours; cold, heavy and very, very ravey.

High energy riddims from the start, this is a no-holds-barred assault on the ears; neck-snappingly good and heavy enough to bring the house down. Mashing jump-up, neuro and jungle, "Everything" is a decent mixture of everything you love about current D&B with a nasty badboy streak that'll get you into trouble. Roof-raising stuff - just don't blame Jinx for the resulting damage.
