Russ XS - 20-Jun-20

Big guest slot from the man like Russ XS, South London DJ who's been playing Breakbeat Hardcore, Jungle and Drum’n’Bass since 1990.

Formerly known as DJ XS, his sets on London pirates Rude FM, Cyndicut and Ruud Awakening featured guest appearances from MCs and DJs who are now some of the biggest names in the modern UK scene, including Wiley, DJ Target, Eksman & Herbzie, Riko Dan, Evil B and many more.

The late-90s drum’n’bass scene was the lyrical practice ground for the original grime innovators before the grime sound evolved, and DJ XS’s show showcased their 170bpm verbal acrobatics.

In more recent years Russ featured on Hoxton FM with the Organic Minimal Sessions, with sets ranging from d’n’b to techno.

This set for Threads is a tour-de-force in underground darkside d’n’b, from the '90s to the present.
