Track Bio

Chillifunk Records welcomes back London’s legendary DJ and producer Rude Boy Rupert, for his follow up release, ‘Celia’s Groove’ and ‘Rita’s Groove’.

‘Celia’s Groove’ is a Latin flavoured broken beat track. With synth bass electro jazz influences comprising a driving bass line and synth pad and stabs, creating an intense infectious rhythm. There is a nod to Celia Cruz in the form of the vocal sample used. Celia Cruz was a Cuban singer and one of the most popular Latin artists of the 20th century.

‘Rita’s Groove’ is a deep percussive house track, led by a piano riff, vocal clip samples and atmospheric synths, strings and sounds, creating a hypnotic groove with a nod to the early 90’s with a modern twist and Rude Boy Rupert’s unmistakeable, distinctive production sound.


Rude Boy Rupert Bio

Rupert’s dance music influences started from the early 80’s wave of Electro, Hip Hop and attending the UK Fresh Wembley in 1986.
Later 89-91 club going adventures into London lead him to the dance floors of Shoom, Special Branch, Talking Loud, Crazy Club and Fun City, Energy parties.

“The summers of 88,89 had a huge impact on us and we threw ourselves into that life style. London had everything we could want musically with the best DJ’s to learn from. Be it House, Techno, Breaks, Latin, Jazz ,Soul, Hip Hop. We loved it all and would travel from club to club week in, week out”
——
1992 he began a 13 year DJ residency at legendary dance night Garage City which lead to guest spots with the brand. He joined the Zoo Events club promotions team and later became resident at M.O.S Soul Heaven, travelling worldwide. Label management/ A&R roles followed for Wyze Productions/ Swing City Records /M.O.S /Stereo Sushi.
