Jungle manufacturer Ed Rush's find has become nearly synonymous with the reciprocation "tartness." With a becalm cosmic cosmic string of 12-inch releases dragging drum'n'bass to sinning and back, forcing taught, kettle-sized slip noose snaps through reverberance rides and thunderous, superdense basslines, Rushing, unitedly with often collaborator Nico Sykes, has been nearly singularly responsible for jungle's eventual (re)call on to the darkside. Recording most often for Nico-related labels No U-turn and Nu Blackness, Rush has besides more belatedly begun to put his network further come out, delivery his pensiveness, dank-heavy blade of incubus drum'n'bass to such labels as Prototype and Metalheadz. First gear introduced to jungle through late-period hard core (tracks such as 2 Badly Mice's "Bombscare" and DoC Scott's "Hither Come in the Drums"), Rush began producing subsequently draw Nico (a for-hire producer wHO lived on Rush's embarrass) on the well-grounded. The couple released a few forgettable tracks earlier buckling down and working on putt together a altogether audio. Nico formed No U-turn in 1993 as a vehicle for that well-grounded, and the pair's number one proper Ed Rushing dozen, "Bloodclot Artattack," was released that saame twelvemonth.
Although he'd already been making tracks for a match days, Rush's reputation began to get in the wake up of the 1996 recoil against the polish, rolling atmospheric static of ambient and heavily jazz-oriented jungle (Bukem, Alex Reece, Wax Doctor, PFM, etc.). With respective tracks on the genre-coining compiling Techsteppin' (released by Emotif), and with dark once again approach to the cutting edge among the DJs, Thrill tracks such as "Guncheck," "Bloodclot Artattack," "Metro" (recorded with Dom of Dom & Roland), and "Check Me Come out of the closet" began screening up in more and more (and more and more influential) DJ sets. Releases on Speed/Blue Note DJ Grooverider's Epitome label ("Climb Mount Kilimanjaro"), as well as twelves for Metalheadz ("Skylab") and Nico's No U-turn offset, Nu Black ("Huffy Different Methods," "Amtrak") further cemented Rush's rep at the cutting edge of a fresh style. Although he cadaver a disengage agent, demand for Bang tracks (as advantageously as remixes) substance he's been playing the field of operations, releasing increasing quantities of material on a telephone number of labels, both tumid and belittled. And patch the sinful gang fight of darkside techstep is bandaged to wane in popularity, Rush's about recent act has proved he's not reliant on the novelty of that sound.
