  • Ruby – Hoops

    Going back to the crates on this one, back in 1995 when electronica started to get darker and edgier came along Ruby.     They had a great first outing with their debut release, “Salt Peter”.   Ruby was the partnership of Lesley Rankine and Mark Walk.   Lesley is currently on hiatus in her home country of Scotland, while Mark Walk currently resides in LA and is producing music for TV and Film.   I hope Lesley will return and grace us with her vocals on some much needed new tunes.   I can’t tell you home many times I listened to “Salt Peter” on CD.   Lesley has a certain Growl to her voice that just cuts.

    This track can be found on Christmas Remixed Vol 2 which was released October 11, 2005.   The basic premise of this collection was to have electronic, hip-hop, dance music producers remix classic Christmas songs.

    This track in particular has a trip-hop feel to it and also was recently used in a BMW commercial.

    Last.fm Bio

    The trio of producers known as Crustation formed by Ian Dark, Stig Manley and Mark Taylerthe are quite connected in the fertile Bristol trip-hop community – they played in bands with Portishead’s Adrian Utley during the 1980s, and regularly hung out with Massive Attack and Smith & Mighty. They debuted in 1994 with two EPs for Cup of Tea Records (also the home of Monk & Canatella, Statik Sound System and Purple Penguin), and released their debut album Bloom in 1998.
