30 years deep into a benchmark-setting career, drum & bass jungle producer Ed Rush has only just released his debut solo album… Truth be told? He was having too much fun collaborating to even consider one!
From his time with the pioneering No U-Turn collective to his enduring tenure with Optical and the Virus family, music has always been a social experience for the London artist but events in 2020 took Ed – real name Ben Settle – in a more introspective direction… And led to a new creative perspective on his art, himself and the scene.
Two years back into the turbulent post-covid raving landscape, with a growing renaissance for the heavy, tech-flavoured drum & bass and his and Optical‘s Virus label currently celebrating 25 years, Ed Rush finds himself in an exciting and energised position.
The dust still settling on his Light Of The Void album – released on Black Sun Empire‘s label Blackout – Dave Columbo Jenkins caught up with him to discuss everything from drum & bass to delta waves to daddying and everything in between.
