Rregula sounds like the interior of a high-functioning factory during a midnight shift. It is a relentless barrage of metallic snares, churning reese basslines, and hyper-precise percussion that feels both futuristic and decaying. The music occupies the darker, more technical corners of the drum and bass spectrum, where melody is sacrificed for pure rhythmic momentum and sonic grit.
What sets this project apart is the sheer density of the sound design. Drawing from a background in metal and a love for early techstep pioneers, Rregula crafts tracks that feel physically heavy. The bass is not just a low frequency; it is a textured, growling entity that seems to mutate as the track progresses, punctuated by film-sampled atmospheres and industrial noise.
Start with the 'Where Am I EP' or 'Echoes From The Future' to experience the peak of the neurofunk era. It is essential listening for anyone who finds beauty in the sound of a machine breaking down or a city waking up in a dystopian future.
Rregula was the stage name of Ross Deschamp, a drum and bass DJ and producer. Based out of Perth, Western Australia, he started making drum and bass in 2001 after listening to the sounds of Sinthetix, Rob F, Skynet, SKC, Cause 4 Concern and Black Sun Empire. In 2003, Rregula collaborated with fellow local producer Phetsta under the shared alias "Bad Robot". Together they had some successful releases, such as 2006's "Forever" on Black Sun Empire recordings. Soon after, Rregula turned to solo production and has released many singles like the "Where Am I?" ep on Shadybrain recordings Ross quit to write music as Rregula in 2014.
