about

Here’s the next chapter from the unreleased Rurals archives.

These vintage jams were made in 1996-1997.

The view from the studio was green and beautiful! It was the very land I’d grown up on, and then it became my space for making music.

I was blessed to have parents who believed in me. When I started playing the guitar at around 11/12 yrs old it was getting obvious that I wasn’t going to be an animal farmer, but a groove farmer!

The Dinning room, the largest room in the farm house was donated as a music room. My Dad used to play drums, my brother played bass and we’d jam out in this room. I then started bands and projects but in time gave up making music to be a full time raver!…That was just for a year though, as I soon met Pete Morris, and we decided to JAM! I came up with a crazy idea to start a record label and studio, then once again my Dad donated the dinning room to me, It was where we spent a LOT of time making and recording music, learning the ropes.

Sometimes I’d just trance out and stare out the window, waiting for inspiration to kick in! The view was just lovely calming shades of green. Life was good!

Archiving all this old music is bringing back so many good feelings and memories and it's great to be able to share them with you all!

This is part of a huge Rurals archiving project, bringing life and vibes back from the 150 DAT tapes that were recorded between 1994 and 2007.

This project has been executively produced by C.Y. Lee, who has made this all possible!
