Rudi Creswick
Having spent the past few years supplying low notes as bass player for a multitude of UK Soul and Jazz artists (including Tom Misch, Loyle Carner, Berwyn, Jordan Rakei, Poppy Ajudha, Jamie Isaac, Puma Blue, Jorja Smith, Alfa Mist & Charlotte Dos Santos), Rudi Creswick has been stepping into the spotlight, releasing his first full length solo offering, ‘Different Forms’ on Alfa Mist’s Sekito imprint.
Hailing from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Rudi was immersed in DJing and club culture from a young age, the low end sonics of early dubstep, house, dub, hip-hop and garage guided his bass playing and led him to discover his own voice on the instrument. Melding the sub rattling sounds of producers such as J Dilla, Mala and Kaytranada with the technical sensibilities of influential Jazz players such as Pino Palladino, Derrick Hodge and Thundercat, Rudi continues to hone his craft, very much appreciating the positive influence and inspirations in which, black artists creating the genres within his sound, provided.
