Ruf Dug – ‘Go Doof Doof’ Ransom Note Mix

Our second edition to the 'Go Doof Doof' mix series is from Manchester's charismatic Ruf Dug, who just happens to be taking his second bite of the R$N mix apple… Yes, he has previously supplied us with a juicy mix, which you can listen to here. A mythical chewy mix it was… But this time around we've been given a mix with a bit more OOMPH. A cosmic feathered serpant with diamond eyes, to be exact. 

For a man who likes to be out playing and partying, he isn't short of achievments with his own Ruf Kutz imprint, multiple releases on labels such as Unknown To Unknown, Crosstown Rebels, Banoffee Pies and more plus he has a few exciting projects hitting shelves soon, which include an album on Music For Dreams.

Get your Doof Doof sweats on, it's going to be a bumpy ride;

WHO ARE YOU:

I am Ruf Dug. Good afternoon.

WHERE ARE YOU:

In the sunshine!

WHY ARE YOU DOING A MIX AGAIN? YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TWO BITES OF THE R$N MIX APPLE!

What the fuck is a mix apple and where do I get one?

THE LAST TIME WE HEARD YOU PLAY RECORDS WE WERE LYING ON A LILO IN THE ADRIATIC AS YOU NURSED OUR PRETTY SAVAGE HANGOVER BACK INTO THE LAND OF THE LIVING… THANKS FOR THAT.
ANY, THIS IS A BIT MORE DOOF DOOF THAN THE LAST ONE YOU DID FOR US ISN’T IT?!

Yeah man, you would probably be asking for your money back if you heard this mix at a relaxing sunset session…

WHERE WAS THE MIX RECORDED?

At Tuck HQ, our secret base in Ancoats.

WHAT WOULD BE THE IDEAL SETTING TO LISTEN TO THE MIX?

2 x 1995 Mitsubishis up the bum, smoke machine, nag champa.

WHAT SHOULD WE BE WEARING?

Fully tucked white velour fila tracksuit with top unzipped to tummy button.

WHICH TRACK IN THE MIX IS YOUR CURRENT FAVOURITE?

Friendly Chemist – 'Visions From Yesterday (Saxy Mix)' – only available on cassette or MP3. Kills pretty much anything on vinyl out there. 1080p showing us the future.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE RECORDED MIX OF ALL TIME?

Bentley Rhythm Ace 'Future Sound Of The United Kingdom' is killer, Akufen's Fabric mix is killer, Dan Bell 'Button Down Mind', oh this could be a long list. That will do for now!

WHAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT MAKING MUSIC THAT GOES DOOF DOOF?

Playing it at a party!

WHICH DO YOU PREFER, THE FIRST OR THE SECOND DOOF?

I'm all about the space between the doofs.

WHAT WERE THE FIRST AND LAST RECORDS YOU BOUGHT?

First – Elton John, 'Nikita'. Last – 'Moomin Theme RSD 7'

IF THIS MIX WAS AN EDIBLE THING, WHAT WOULD IT TASTE LIKE?

Really strong mdma. Terrible. 

IF IT WAS AN ANIMAL WHAT WOULD IT BE?  

Cosmic feathered serpent with diamonds for eyes and rainbow slipstreams behind its wings while it soars over the mountains.

UPCOMING IN THE WORLD OF RUF DUG?

A remix for Jack Pattern, outstandingly talented Swiss person(s), an album on Music For Dreams and some parties.

ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED TO DISCUSS?
