Ed Rush

Ed Rush is the recording name of Ben Settle; a prominent jungle/techstep/neurofunk DJ, who often produces tracks in collaboration with Optical. Hailing from west London, he came to prominence with the release of the track "Bludclot Artattack" in 1993 (a collaboration with producer Nico Sykes) [http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj-profile.aspx?id=109 RA: DJ Ed Rush, Ed Rush & Optical - Biography & Discography ] ] . As techstep emerged as a new subgenre of jungle/drum & bass he was at the fore, releasing well-received tracks such as "Guncheck" (1995), "Killamanjaro" and "Skylab EP" (both 1996), but recording chiefly for Sykes' No U-Turn Records imprint. His work of this time is included in the "Techsteppin" (1996) and "Torque" (1997) compilation albums. In 1998, he joined forces with Optical to create their own drum and bass record label called Virus Recordings. Their album from the same year "Wormhole" is considered a genre classic.
