Playground Weekender

Yet another Crosstown Rebel – Russ Yallop – has been confirmed to hit the decks in the ‘Big Top’ on Sunday of Playground. Russ is one of the few producers of recent years who has exploded onto the underground house scene, while some producers spend years finding their feet, Russ made a clear statement of intent with ‘I Can’t Wait’ his debut release a solid cut of nu-school house that was charted across the board by everyone from Jamie Jones to M.A.N.D.Y and was featured by Heidi on her ‘In New Music We Trust’ show on BBC Radio One. Meanwhile, ‘Rock Me’ on the B-side was picked up by DJ Mag and featured on their ‘Best of British’ cover-mount compilation at the start of this year. Russ Yallop’s sound is infected with warm charm and boundless energy. Fusing fun into dance music again, Russ and his UK-based peers are creating a new strain of house music that is currently taking the worldwide underground by storm, promising bright things for the future.
