"South Londoner DJ Scud aka Toby Reynolds is boss of the premier breakcore label Ambush records established in 1997. The way he makes music is by thinking 'will this record mash the place up, and infect the vibe?' So when you listen to this, bear witness. The music he makes was inspired by dancing all night at the peak of the UK rave scene, also European clubs like Tresor and the Bunker, the UK free party scene and the dance floor militancy of labels such as Underground Resistance. Over his career he has released material on a number of other notable labels including Position Chrome (under the alias The Redeemer co-produced with Panacea), kool.POP, Klangkrieg, Full Watts and more recently on I-Sound's newly formed imprint Transparent. His music is a cross fertilisation of Dancehall, Jungle and Breakbeat Hardcore with the shrill noise and energy of Punk. It"s a powerful collision of styles and approaches combining uncompromising experimentalism with healthy doses of sound system inspired populism. DJ Scud has gained a reputation as a fine re-mixer, lending his skills to artists such as DJ Rupture and Asian Dub Foundation and was dubbed the new Aphex Twin by Radio 1's Steve Lamaq. He regularly plays at parties in Europe and the States and has gained a reputation for his punishing, shrill sets, maintaining his total commitment to single minded full-on uncompromising sonic assaults whilst still keeping feet on the floor with infectious breaks and beats."
