Feel the Dub: Rudimental

Tune into pretty much any radio station in 2012 and it is extremely likely that your ears will be exposed to music that is, features or is inspired by some kind of electronic and or dubstep beat.

Words like "Nero" and "Skrillex" have entered our vocabulary, and we have even recently seen traditionally hiphop acts sample doof doof bass lines *cough*nickminaj*cough* and rock bands such as Muse feature dubstep on their most recent album trailer - which you can checkout on the rantypemusic clips and pieces page.

Rudimental want to bring soul back to electronic music

But amongst all the noise and sounds that are trying to earn their place in this thing we call music, one group have made a bangarang on the electronic charts in the UK, and are bringing their soulful rhythms to Australian airwaves.

The modest foursome that make up Rudimental say their influences are everything from 90s music, to hip hop, to jazz and soul.  Their hit "Feel the Love"  (Featuring John Newman), is the perfect example of how these genres can collaborate beautifully, making you want to sway side-to-side and run on the spot all at the same time.

In a time when it's hard to be seen through the noise Rudimental's tracks stay true to their electronic - house genre, remaining creative enough to stand out from the crowd.

Their next hit is "Spoons" which features MNEK and Syron, and also literally features spoons as the main percussion. Rudimental also offer a variety of remixes, notably putting a new spin on fellow Brit Ed Sheeran's hit "Lego House."
