WE ARE ONE

FEATURED ARTICLE – Nu-Matic Interview

Matt Edward’s alias Nu-Matic, has just completed his 3rd E.P. for XL Recordings. Previously known as Break The Limits his musical style has certainly changed since those early days.

MATT “When I was first making music (along with former partner Mel Tanur) the most important thing to us was to gain the respect of other people as artistes, we were making music solely for the hard-core raver. Now, I just feel that I would like my music to appeal to a wider audience”. As an early exponent of the Reggae-Techno-Groove on the “Hard Times” E.P. then to incorporate classical music for his “Spring in My Step” E.P. and now to be the first to use an old rare groove track on his next release, could we be right in thinking that Nu-Matic is trying to set some kind of trend.

MATT “I don’t see myself as trying to set any trends, I don’t care if I do or don’t. The ideas that I have used so far, I have had for years. In music I believe, there should be no boundaries that’s why  you’ll find all aspects of music from Rock to Reggae, incorporated in mine”.

Nu-matic’s music certainly has that hard-core feel to it, but there are elements that could be interpreted as being “commercial”. Could this perhaps lead to losing the respect that has taken him so long to gain?

MATT “To be perfectly honest, if trying to be more creative and more original in the things I do is going to have me branded ‘commercial’ then I really don’t give a shit. I’m really just trying to make the kind of music that is still going to be around for years to come, not forgotten about after four weeks. As for the respect side of things, those people who matter will hopefully still respect me for not being scared to try something different”.

As well as trying to do things differently on the musical tip, the PA’s are certainly something to watch. Although some incorporate the clichéd Mc and two dancer’s they definitely have a more professional edge to their performance’s.

MATT “I feel that I have the best Mc in the business Mc Mc, and along with our dancer’s (Smila and Naz), we really try to entertain and make our shows value for money”. With his forthcoming release in mid November, entitled ‘Body Fusion’ Matt with the help of Mc Mc, has produced a more vocally orientated E.P. Is this a stab at proving his versatility as an artist to ensure he will be around longer than people think?

MATT “I am not trying to prove anything. It’s my genuine love of music that has enabled me to adapt to the changes in the dance scene for the past seven years, so I don’t see why I won’t be able to adapt in the future”.

HOLDIN’ IT DOWN

FEATURED ARTICLe – RUFF GUIDANCE RECORDINGS

You have probably never heard of Ruff Guidance Recordings, but I am sure you will be familiar with the music. Mel Tanur, 24, the man behind Ruff Guidance, has taken an active part in the music industry for the past seven years. Starting out as a rap lyricist in 1985, he progressed with former partner Matt Edwards (now Nu-Matic) into making the kind of music that dominates our radios today.

M “We wanted to do an E.P. which contained hip-hop, techno and dance music, to break the existing limits of the music that was being made at that time. Bpm’s shot up in level’s which other people just weren’t doing, we didn’t make anything under 125bpm”.

With the launch of Break The Limits in the late summer of 1990, they established a name for themselves as one of the original hard-core acts. Some 10 E.P.’s later, their hard work paid off, and in December 1991 they were signed to XL Recordings. Unfortunately this didn’t quite work out as Mel had envisioned it, thus causing Mel and Matt to split.

M “XL released the Hard Times E.P. many many weeks later in February 1992, and by that time the tune had fizzled out. As far as I am concerned they made a mess of it. To tell you the truth I didn’t really get on with the people there, all those record company people really don’t appeal to me”.

Leaving the prospect of fame and fortune behind, Mel started up his own company. April 1992 saw his first solo release, simply enetitled “The Ruff Guidance” E.P. The second E.P. (Bay-B-Kane) caused quite a sensation on the hard-core scene, generating interest from DJ Micky Finn, who has included a track from the E.P. on Groove Connections soon to be released compilation/mega mix. Now, with the third E.P. underway, Ruff Guidance’s present venture comes as a bit of a surprise. Released on the 28th Septmeber, the “Icon” E.P. is not only a six tracker, but also includes some unusual elements.

M “I realise I may be taking a risk with this as it is an alternative dance E.P., though it still has that rough jungle feel to it. I have even included some Bolivian Hari-Krishna samples. I think that it is fair to say it’s certainly different’.

So, with all this going on and a soon to be released E.P. which he co-produced with DJ Token Pace on the Face The Bass label as well as current negotiations with none other than Reinforced Records, I can certainly see Mel Tanur being involved in the music biz for the next seven years.
