About

Leeds/London born electronic music producers Ryan Wild aka J.Sparrow and Dom Howard of Submotion Orchestra, first teamed up as Author back in 2011. Their self-titled LP presented a more reflective and jazz-inflected sound than their solo work, which a Residents Advisor review at the time called "comfortably conservative yet experimental." Author’s sophomore release “Forward Forever”, released through Navy Cut in August 2018, reportedly presents a more organic and lifelike sound, according to its press release. Like the first time around, the record boasts a number of guest spots, including UK MCs Jehst & Rider Shafique, reggae singer Dan Man & drum & bass outfit June Miller. The dedicated musicians strive to accomplish sounds of the highest quality. It epitomises the quest for experimentation within the parameters of electronic music by being innovative both in the studio and on stage. Author have performed their lives show in U.K, Europe, Asia & USA to date. DJ and producer Ryan ‘J.Sparrow’ Wild has been producing a variety of Dubstep since 2005. Over the years, his versatility in production has cultivated a signature style which demonstrates distinctive tribal and Techno influences. His meticulous production and unique approach to Dubstep has earned him releases and remixes under a plethora of esteemed labels such as Navy Cut, Deep Medi, Tectonic and ZamZam Sounds. He has also established himself as a revered remixed artist with remixes for the likes of Skepta, Count & Sinden, Mumdance, Submotion Orchestra, Birdy and Photek. Founded in 2016, his label Navy Cut – an imprint centred around sound system culture – has been behind ten releases to date, with the latest outing seeing a limited 12” of two J.Sparrow heaters. In 2019, Sparrow is set to release further EP's, LP's and remixes, splitting time between the studio and the decks, steadily solidifying his reputation as an authoritative force in electronic music. London born DJ and producer Dom ‘Ruckspin’ Howard displayed an affinity for music from an early age. His childhood classical training paired with the skills he acquired at Leeds College of Music have seen achievements such as bespoke music production for trailer-houses and new media specialising added to his already sterling resumé as a producer and international DJ. His discography spans across a number of labels including releases under Ranking, Mau5trap, Black Butter, Tectonic, Reggae Roast and Deep Medi. He’s also firmly established himself as a prolific remix artist; The Prodigy, Gentleman’s Dub Club, London Zoo, Crystal Fighters, People in Jars and Foreign Beggars have all received the Ruckspin treatment. In 2009, Ruckspin co-founded one of the most original and forward thinking bass music projects in recent years, Submotion Orchestra. Alongside Tommy Evans of Gentleman’s Dub Club and Ranking records, Ruckspin and his friends were commissioned by the Arts Council to put on a performance at Yorkminster Cathedral. Their performance would go down in the history books for the city of York and Dubstep as the world’s first ever classical and Dubstep hybrid project, employing an ensemble of classical musicians including an opera singer and the cathedral’s own organist.
