Biography
Swing
City Records / Soul Heaven Resident
Over
the past 13 years Rupert has become a recognised Pioneer of
the UK Soulful House Scene, with his passionate Dj work and
production. 2002 he was head hunted by Swing City Records,
where he is now Production Manager & A&R consultant.
At the End of 2003 Rupert left his 12 year Garage City residency
on its closing night to concentrate on his new productions
for the
Swing City Label and Dj-ing on their tour nights where he
teams up with prolific UK DJ/Producer and label artist Grant
Nelson.

started his new residency which kicked off the new year at
it’s new London home Fabric.

with jazz musician Ceri Evans as well as his own productions
under his Bamboo & Socialites guises.
How it all started
Rupert started DJ-ing back in the late 80’s, his sets
consisted of soul, jazz & hip-hop. His first introduction
into house was 1988. He frequented seminal house club, Shoom
and then later Club Zoo @ Soho Theatre.
By 1990 his ears were tuned into Soulful House sound.
Late 1991 @ Garage City. Rupert was in the crowd and by the
end of the night the plan to make a mix tape was in motion.
Ricky Morrison (M&S) gave a mix tape to promoters Bobby
& Steve and within a few weeks he became a weekly resident.
Dj-ing was still then a very much obsessive hobby. Soon he
found his bookings were becoming more frequent, travelling
to different cities and countries where crowds were reacting
to his set’s with the same enthusiasm he’d been
receiving in London.
Rupert (nicknamed Rude Boy ) has been spinning his Soulful
& uplifting sets since 1991 with education & new material
always at the forefront. A known risk taker and trusted head
within the competitive House circuit.
