Artist description I love old skool hardcore, and since it's not being produced anymore (at least not like it used to be), I decided to try my hand at cranking out some tunes.At the same time I like where some of the new sounds of hardcore are headed, thanks to producers fusing the sounds of hard trance, techno, and hardcore - also known as Freeform.

Music Style Old skool hardcore, Freeform

Musical Influences All the hardcore originators from the early 1990s, as well as the Freeformers leading the hardcore revolution - Energy, Fury, and Sharkey.

Similar Artists Slipmatt, DJ Seduction, Nookie, LTJ Bukem, DJ Energy, DJ Fury

Press Reviews "Ruffage made some nice '94 Dougal/Vibes-esque pieces which drew me to his work. It's always good to hear the old skool revival is being maintained on a world wide scale, and especially by people with talent this high." -Matt Robinson, Bassquake Recordings
