Ruf Dug, known for his eclectic approach to electronic music, hails from Manchester, UK. Over the years, he has built a reputation as a selector with a deep crate-digging sensibility, drawing inspiration from everything between balearic, house, boogie, and cosmic oddities. His productions and DJ sets are marked by a joyful unpredictability and a passion for forgotten synth sounds and playful, esoteric grooves.

Launching the Ruf Kutz label in 2012, Ruf Dug has provided a home for his own productions and those of like-minded artists, championing forward-thinking dance music with a leftfield twist. His acclaimed album "Island" was recorded during a residency on the Guernsey coast, capturing sun-soaked, tropical vibes and authentic machine jams that won critical praise for their warmth and idiosyncratic charm. As a resident at Manchester’s Soup Kitchen and a mainstay at clubs and festivals across Europe, Ruf Dug is known for spinning everything from rare disco to tripped-out house, earning a loyal following for his free-spirited sets.

Constantly searching for new sonic territory, he remains a unique talent and a respected figure in the underground dance music community.
