It’s a mix double whammy this week as we gear up for our mighty room 2 takeover at fabriclive this Friday! Following on from Dem 2′s garage led selection, we’ve now dropped another edition from Rack N Ruin, who joins the Nerds crew at fabric this Friday with his uncompromising barrage of dubstep, jungle, d&b and all things bass! If this massive mix is anything to go by, Friday night will be off the chain!

His previous remix duties include taking to the buttons for the likes of Nas & Damien Marley, I Blame Coco, Aggro Santos, The Nextmen feat. Groove Armada & Ms. Dynamite, Zero 7, plus The Freestylers. Recent collabs have seen him produce bass led gold for a broad range of vocalists from the legendary Navigator, Basement Jaxx cohort Slarta John and up-and-comer Jessie Ware to long time Toddla T spitter, Serocee. He’s just dropped the banging Righteous EP with our mates at ATG and Black Butter Records and his skills behind the decks saw him smash it at our huge NYE rave, the Nerds 4th Birthday as well as Glade Festival. Soon he hits Secret Garden, Outlook then heads down under for an Australia tour. All in all, our man Rack N Ruin is saying (and doing) a lot!

With a mash-up style that draws influence from the breaks scene, switching this up with jungle, dubstep and all manor of UK bass led sounds, Rack N Ruin is a DJ who truly epitomises Urban Nerds’ love of multi-genre party chaos and we’re extremely hyped to have him on the bill for our fabriclive takeover. Throw Breakage, Plastician, P Money, Marcus Nasty, Shantie, Rattus, Klose and Illaman in the mix and you know Friday night is going to be absolutely sick! Rack N Ruin has summed up the hype nicely with this mix. We’ve said enough on the matter, get your download on – you won’t be disappointed!
