New This Week: RUA007- Gasworks/Gonman EP debuts Comma, features A.Fruit, Itoa and TMSV
Despite being only 2 years young, burgeoning record label Rua Sound has been steadily growing with an impressive and consistent work rate, contributing to the current bass music landscape in fine form with critically acclaimed work from household names such as Tim Reaper, Kid Lib, Sam Binga and Sully.
Well known for their palate of Jungle, Footwork, Grime and Hip-hop, the flourishing label releases their 7th EP with another heavy lineup, this time introducing Oakland’s Comma making his label debut with Gasworks - a deliciously glitchy cut filled with ragga and jungle samples galore, paying homage to digi era dancehall. London-based Itoa, newest addition to the Exit Records family, does his remix with flair - incorporating his signature percussive focused beats and colourful sound design.
A.Fruit steps up her game in this release with a half-time killer track called Gonman featuring D.E., bringing his intense vocals into this dark, dirty, bassy production. A regular on the Rua Sound bill is TMSV, who rounds off this EP with an edit of _Gonman _with some dancehall-infused vibes, pushing D.E.’s vocals further with dread rave vibes throughout.

Get to know A.FRUIT! Anna Fruit, a self-diagnosed geek and a boundary-pushing producer from Moscow. LISTEN to her latest release OUT NOW on Sequel One catering to the footwork sound.
"FAR OUT" EP is a four-track release and each of the tracks present different and individual musical vision. The genres blend, images overlay and percolate, creating a unique whole. "Wars” is a footwork hybrid filled with emotions. Tempo changes dominate here, with ambient reverberations floating in the background. "You Wanna Go" and "My Beat Low" present an original interpretation of slow/fast. The foundation of the piece is a hip-hop pulse broken with brief samples and rhythmic complexity. "Articles Of Faith" introduces yet another vibe change. The track brings first Addison Groove’s production and rhythmic Mokira’s repetitions to mind.“
Build for the shop, I wanted a place that would serve as the "planning station". The top features a hinged compartment under a plans/document stand, the main desktop is birch-veneered plywood with 3-compartments that I'll eventually make drawers for. Underneath, there is a knee-shelf as well.
Inaugural project for the (then) half-completed shop. A bed to transition my 2YO out of her crib. No formal/informal plans drawn, I used the "build and see what happens" method.
The front has a clasping gate that swings downward to open the front fully.
