Rudimental

About

Rudimental, the London-based electronic music collective, has redefined the boundaries of drum and bass, soul, and house music since their explosive debut in the early 2010s. Known for their high-energy beats, emotive vocals, and genre-blurring soundscapes, the group—comprising Piers Agget, Kesi Dryden, Amir Amor, and DJ Locksmith—has become a cornerstone of the UK’s vibrant music scene. Their music is a melting pot of influences, from the raw energy of jungle and garage to the soulful depth of gospel and R&B, creating a sound that’s both nostalgic and futuristic. Rudimental’s breakthrough came with their 2013 debut album *Home*, featuring the anthemic hit “Feel the Love” with John Newman, which catapulted them into the global spotlight. The album’s fusion of live instrumentation and electronic production set a new standard for dance music, earning them critical acclaim and a Mercury Prize nomination. Over the years, they’ve collaborated with a diverse array of artists, including Emeli Sandé, Ella Eyre, and Macklemore, further cementing their reputation as genre-defying innovators. Beyond their music, Rudimental has become a cultural force, championing inclusivity and diversity through their live performances and festival appearances. Their recent projects include the 2021 album *Ground Control*, a testament to their evolution and resilience during the pandemic. With a relentless commitment to pushing boundaries, Rudimental continues to inspire and unite audiences worldwide.
