BIOGRAPHY
With
a seemingly insatiable appetite for producing quality dance music
and an ability to switch effortlessly between the scenes numerous
genres twenty nine year old Ross Couch has become an established and
highly respected producer in recent years with dozens of releases
and remixes on an impressive list of labels.
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, a long recognised hotspot within the dance
music community, it's little wonder that Ross became seduced by the
rapidly evolving sound of house and techno in the early 90's, and
quickly became involved in producing his own material. His productions
first materialised on the Bellboy and Panther labels in 2001-2002
with a difficult to pigeonhole brand of dance-floor techno and melodic
tech house which had him being compared in the press to numerous dance
music luminaries such as Deep Dish, Dave Angel, Slam and Ron Trent
to name but a few.
From their Ross stepped up a gear, pushing a more house based sound
drawing from deeper and funkier styles whilst still retaining the
drive and energy of his techno productions. This helped secure releases
on a series of highly regarded labels such as Siesta, Kinky Vinyl
and Red Melon and widespread DJ support. Around 2005 Ross began to
develop close ties with the Bargrooves empire (now owned by Defected)
releasing several 12" releases and remixes across their series
of labels, as well as appearances on many of their popular mix CD's
and even engineering several of them.
In 2007, after several years of releasing on
other labels and with digital stores taking a hold of the market Ross
took the next logical step and began releasing music through his own
Body Rhythm label. The past year has seen a constant output of quality
deep, jackin’ and tech house releases winning a loyal fan base,
regular support from DJ’s like Laurent Garnier and top 10 sales
chart placings on many of the leading Digital Download sites. With
a new sub-label Body Rhythm Black now launched and several exciting
releases in the pipeline is safe to say that you’ll be hearing
a lot more from this in-demand producer in the future.
