25.05.12 MusicWeek 11 ESSENTIAL INFO ON THE RADAR RUDIMENTAL
Rudimental have been causing a stir on the airwaves courtesy of an abundance of mainstream support for their latest single, Feel the Love, which is set to be a chart hit. Speaking to Music Week,
Rudimental’s Piers Agget said that he started out on pirate radio in Hackney, playing house and garage music before branching out into other genres. This, as well as an eclectic mix of tastes between members Kesi Dryden, Amir Amor and Leon (DJ Locksmith), has influenced the group’s current sound, which Agget describes as “electronic music with bass, beats and soul.”
Rudimental have garnered
wider comparisons to Basement Jaxx and have remixed tracks for the likes of Ed Sheeran and Wretch 32. They have previously clocked up impressive specialist airplay for their last single Spoons, as well as achieving club hits under Black Butter, before being brought under the umbrella of a major label deal with Asylum. The composition of forthcoming
single Feel The Love stemmed from a fateful meeting in a pub between Agget and guest vocalist John Newman. It was Radio 1’s biggest upfront add in 2012 and Agget commented: “[Getting on the Radio
HE SAID / SHE SAID “ Protecting copyright
in the digital domain is difficult but as every songwriter and composer knows, just because something is difficult doesn’t mean we stop trying

1] A-list was a shock. Then hearing it in the car at the same time on Kiss during the day was crazy. There was a great moment when I went to my mum’s house and she was dancing to it in the kitchen!” The other side of the Pond is
already in the band’s sights as the video was filmed in Philadelphia and the track had its US release this week. They have some trans- atlantic DJ bookings and a trip to New York in the pipeline too. Rudimental’s album is slated for
release in late 2012, and will be preceded by a second single, Agget revealed: “Amongst all the crazy festivals and DJ sets, we’re in the
studio finishing the album, working with artists. We were with Alex Clare the other day.” Ever the musician, he’s ambi-
tious in the live arena too: “I want to perform eventually on a big festival stage, maybe Glastonbury next year. Having a really good musical show that’s quite impressive, and a live show that people really enjoy with a full brass band, beats and bass.”
