Two (or Cru), is usually better then one, a fact not lost on the Southwest's answer to the new school UK Jungle movement, the Run Tingz Cru. A tip-top, one-stop, Junglist boutique, the Run Tingz camp have every corner of the scene well and truly nailed A killer production outfit, two consistently solid record labels, a clothing line and a globally recognised brand of events.
Get to know: Ed (G.Tactix) and Parker (LXP) are the Reggae-roused rave veterans behind the Run Tingz operation. Two dedicated Bristolian Junglists, each armed with well over a decade of experience in the music industry, they were inspired to contribute to the scene that's given them so much as DJs over the years.
Mentored by Jungle legends the Serial Killaz (Congo Natty / Ganja), they established their label in 2010 and have been turning heads ever since. Their manifesto: to create original Jungle / Drum & Bass compositions featuring some of the very best Reggae and Jungle vocalists old and new. Since their bold inception they've recruited the very best in the game. From Topcat to Tenor Fly, David Boomah to Blackout JA, Solo Banton to YT (and not forgetting their girls Lady MC and Lady Fyah), they've consistently aimed for the top and scored themselves a series of unique, original and contemporary Jungle releases. No bootlegs, no messing: Run Tingz have meant business from day one.
Each of these impeccable studio creations are released through their two in-house labels: Run Tingz Recordings and Run Tingz Digital. Releases such as'Born Inna Babylon', the Serial Killaz collaboration'Murder Ya Sound' and'It's a Junglist Ting' have driven the Run Tingz Cru to the top of the D&B charts, winning them rave reviews in the music press and a live appearance on BBC Introducing. More recently they've uncovered the delights of Capitol 1212's iconic'Don Man Sound' (which earned them support from Radio 1 and Kiss FM) and recruited legendary toasters Cowboy Ras Ranger and 2Nice on'My Sound', a next-level Jungle release featuring an original production from V Recording's Aries and Gold.
Massive tracks, bold-as-brass labels and road block events to boot: Run Tingz have been delighting bass audiences with their high-impact stage shows. Previous live exploits include Glastonbury, Shambala, Glade and Electric Picnic. They're set to perform to 10'000+ people on the iconic Arcadia stage at this year's Boomtown Festival and are mainstays at St Paul's Carnival, Europe's oldest Caribbean street party. Eschewing the average D&B DJ and MC combo, their incendiary live shows have gained notoriety from as far afield as France, Poland, Spain, Czech Republic, Austria, Greece, Switzerland and Sardinia. Make no mistakes: Run Tingz Cru are playing an international game.
Three years deep and now a household name in modern day Jungle, 2013 is set to see the collective up their game once again Already a firm favourite in Bristol, London and Brighton, their nocturnal club rampages the'Run Tingz Sessions', will add two new cities to their 2013 calendar. The Run Tingz Cru have recently been signed to the on-point Boom Agency and they've got a release schedule (with a new project set to drop on a monthly basis) that quite frankly makes 2012 look lazy! The tip-top, one-stop boutique is well on its way to becoming a global hypermarket, so hold tight and watch your bass bins!
