Real name / Ruben Nielsen
Moniker(s) / ROOT
"Melancholy, boogified Dubstep for the rave, from Denmark's RDG" - www.boomkat.com
RDG started producing at a young age, making all sorts of music on his dads computer. This involved into playing drums and putting down some vocal in a couple of bands and groups. After some years he went back to his old flame: UK Garage, Jungle and Drum'n'bass. RDG then began spinning dubstep records in 2008 along with production. In the early 2011 he started the project "ROOT" and record label "Surfase" with fellow producer JB.
"RDG’s productions evolves the sound of Dubstep while staying true to the roots of the genre. With frequently support from J:Kenzo, Chef, Jay5ive and Von D, international bookings and guest appearences on Getdarker TV, he’s been charging forward on the scene." - www.krakenrecordings.dk
"Ruben Dag Nielsen's heavy stepping debut on the New World Audio imprint finally arrives in the digital realm after a limited vinyl release and plenty of support on the Rinse FM network! Lead track "The Commander"scrapes up against your senses, dipped in vintage junglist vibes, whilst the all too apt "Bonecrusher" drops its heavyweight sub bass dread with DMZ style aplomb. RDG implements an industrial style on "2100" with overt cinematic touches lending the requisite atmospherics before a juddering and screw face inducing sinewy bass line flex takes control. The best is perhaps saved till last with the neck snapping badness of "Phoenix" - do check!" - www.junodownload.com
