Few producers of recent years have exploded onto the underground house scene like Crosstown Rebels' latest signing Russ Yallop. While some producers spend years finding their feet, 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 across the board by everyone from Jamie Jones to MANDY and was featured by Heidi on her 'In New Music We Trust' show on BBC Radio One. Meanwhile, 'Rock Me' on the B-side was picked up by DJ Mag and featured on their 'Best of British' covermount compilation at the start of this year. Named as 'One To Watch' in Electronic Beats magazine and with future releases on Jamie Jones and Lee Foss' Hot Creations and Crosstown's new 'Rebellion' label offshoot, it should come as little surprise that Russ got snapped up by 'Ibiza Voice' to mix a recent instalment of their hugely popular podcast series despite being relatively new to the scene.

Long-time friend and now a fully-fledged member of Crosstown Rebels, Russ Yallop has been biding his time, honing his production skills for the last few years. Part of a new breed of DJs, with studio skills to match, which includes his close friends Lee Foss, Richy Ahmed and Robert James, Russ Yallop's sound is infected with warm charm and boundless energy. Fusing fun into dance music again, Russ and his UK-based peers are creating a new strain of house music that is currently taking the worldwide underground by storm, promising bright things for the future.

About Out of the Gloom:

Out of the Gloom began in 2006 as a weekly Sunday session with an across-the-board music policy, for a time it was a safe-haven for the post-club crew who were never quite ready to call time on the weekend. The night evolved into a club night and hosted some fantastic guest DJs including Ashley Beedle and Sean P. Today the parties are more of an irregular event. It's founders ChrisE and Sally Squiggles are involved in other projects, ChrisE can be found behind the decks in bars and clubs across Manchester and Sally is now a presenter of a soul music radio show on Chorley FM. Micron and Out of the Gloom have always had a firm alliance and so Sally and Chris are both very excited at the prospect of hosting the bar. Expect an eclectic musical journey and two very happy DJs.
