Russ Yallop

Few producers of recent years have exploded onto the underground house scene like Hot Creations’ Russ Yallop. Russ made a clear statement of intent with ‘I Can’t Wait’ his debut release on Crosstown Rebels, a solid cut of nu-school house that was charted and supported across the board by everyone from Jamie Jones to BBC Radio One. From that point on, Russ has continued his upward trajectory with stand out music on all the underground’s hottest labels. At the turn of the decade Russ was part of a special collective of UK DJs that pioneered a new musical wave that subsequently spawned the global resurgence of deep house. Along with long time friends Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, Richy Ahmed and Robert James, a new kind of fun and energy was injected into dance music again and this sound soon became the staple soundtrack of dancefloors worldwide. Russ’s DJ circuit is truly international, a regular on line-ups from Tomorrowland to Tokyo’s Womb to Berlin’s Watergate, he is also a resident for ibiza’s largest parties, Paradise, Circo Loco and Elrow.

Russ released his first album last year on Santé’s Avotre records to huge critical acclaim. The LP produced giant club hit collab with producer wAFF, ‘Mike The Swamp’, supported by the likes of Marco Carola. 2017 saw another dancefloor smash with wAFF ‘Snakecharmer’ and an underground heater of a remix of Toyboy & Robin's Palace. Being such a versatile artist Russ has proved himself to be a truly unique artist to sit up and take note of.
