Yungruzt (Let It Bleed / [Rondevu Music)

1. Tell us about yourself [Aaron Russell]….. 
   First of all thanks for having me on the series! I'm a DJ/Producer and I go by the alias Yungruzt (pronounced 'Young Rust'). I currently have a residency with Let it Bleed up in Aberdeen and play the occasional stint at Rare Thursday which my friend Rory runs. I've warmed up for the likes of Kink, Kolsch, Fatima Yamaha & Paul Woolford to name a few.

2. How did you get into music and DJing? 
   I was surrounded by such a wide variety of good music from a really young age. Mum would be blasting Prince, George Michael, Madonna, Various other 80's gold, the old 90's Trance and 00's House records you still hear getting banged out to this day. On the other hand, Dad would be listening to Timo Maas, Deep Dish, Sven Vath, Tenaglia, Sasha & Digweed and the likes of Stranglers, Clash and other Punk. So I'm extremely grateful to them in that aspect of being exposed to all kinds of music. I learnt how to play guitar aged 13 and didn't put it down til I was 16, only reason being cause I discovered Trance, UK Hardcore and necking bottles of White Lightning under the bridge, (Scottish Youth), after that I ended up wanting to DJ and haven't looked back since. I got into production as well a year and a half ago and have had my first few releases this year.

3. Who/what are your favourite DJs/producers/labels?  
   Heavy into Bicep, Love what they've been doing from the start, their stuff is timeless and will be here forever. Big fan of the Romanian Minimal Scene at the moment, long, loopy, dubby, rolling, hypnotic, sexy tracks you can get lost in. Also gotta mention the likes of Dixon, Keinemusik, Ame, and Mano Le Tough who have a big influence on me. I try to keep a balance of all that kinda vibes in my sets. I like to make people move, shake and feel good but also have a wee emotional trip along the way.

4.Tell us about your mix…..    
Pretty simple, kept a floaty vibe on this one, taking a darker trip towards the end. Perfect for the early after-hours. Old tracks, New tracks, Tracks you'll know and tracks you need to know.

1. What are your future plans? 
   Got some cool gigs coming up in Aberdeen, Playing SWG3 in Glasgow in November and hoping to get a wee taste of the Capital's crowd soon. I've also got a new track coming out in December on Just Her's Label 'Constant Circles' which I'm buzzing about. Finally I'm also kicking off a series of parties up in Aberdeen at the end of the month with my good friend Rondevu, (check him out). The events are called Truzt Rondevu With_, we want to book artists people need to know and want the punters to really trust us with the bookings. Our first guest is Edinburgh's very own Kieran Apter and that launches Friday 26th October.
