With a seemingly insatiable appetite for producing quality dance music and an ability to switch effortlessly between the scenes numerous genres twenty eight year old Ross Couch has become an established and highly respected producer in recent years with over 20 releases and remixes under his belt on an impressive list of cutting edge labels.

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, a long recognised hotspot within the dance music community, it's little wonder that Ross quickly became seduced by the rapidly evolving sound of house and techno in the early 90's, and he quickly became involved in producing his own material. His productions first came to light on the Bellboy and Panther labels where his difficult to pigeonhole brand of dancefloor techno and melodic tech house had him being compared in the press to numerous dance music illuminaries such as Deep Dish, Dave Angel, Slam and Ron Trent to name but a few, whilst DJ support came from the likes of Laurent Garnier and Colin Dale.

From their Ross stepped up a gear, pushing a more house based sound drawing from deeper and funkier styles whilst still retaining the drive and energy of his techno productions which has now become recognised as something of a trademark. This helped secure releases on a series of highly regarded labels such as Siesta, Kinky Vinyl and Red Melon, picking up placings on the influential Hype and Coolcuts charts along the way whilst DJ's right across the board gave their support, from Pete Tong to Laurent Garnier, Carl Cox to Deep Dish, Mazi to Omid 16B, and many more.

Hailed in DJ Magazine as "One of the last year's freshest talents", Ross is continuing to go from strength to strength in 2007. He now has close ties to the world reknowned Bargrooves empire which has already seen several 12" releases and remixes across their series of labels as well as appearances on many of their popular mix CD's. With a new label Soul Life Recordings about to be launched and more releases on the way it's fair to say that you'll be hearing a lot more from this in-demand producer in the coming year.
