RUEBIK arrives once more on Dutch imprint High Tea Music as part of their ‘Ginseng’ compilation series and his new single ‘Into Your Mind’, with the full package again pulling together frequent guests and collaborators for another stellar collection of tracks. After his explosion onto the scene in 2020, winning the NZ Music competition hosted by Toocut and George FM, the music and DJ accolades which followed has included a range of tastemaker names. With support from the likes of Bou, Mt Eden, Blaine Stranger, Ben Snow and more, RUEBIK has continued to move up the ranks with his eclectic production style. First being based in South Africa but having moved to his current home in New Zealand (known for being a hotbed of drum & bass) he’s now played across continents as he’s worked diligently to further his career within the genre.
RUEBIK’s past as a heavy metal drummer, which saw him win the Battle of the Bands, oozes into the tracks he offers, including ‘Into Your Mind’ despite its more emotive flavours. It fits perfectly into the catalogue of High Tea Music, whose influence extends from branded events in the UK and across Europe to their label output, and one where RUEBIK has found a home in recent years with singles like ‘Ashes’ moving their fan base. With lush melodic tones, steppy drum sequences and emotive synth stabs, it’s a track which still goes hard on the dancefloor whilst creating an emotionally charged sonic story.
RUEBIK pushes forward with his meteoric rise, yet there’s more to come from the producer as festival season closes and the darker months approach. The strength of his craftsmanship is shown in his music resonating across the year and across dance music spaces, which ‘Into Your Mind’ has already demonstrated.
