Short Info:

Siggatunez debuts on Times are Ruff and splits a 12inch with the label owners. Both share a Berlin connection through their studios located in the same building, something unknown at the time the first contact was made. Unsurprisingly that became the theme for this joint effort of music.
Both sides contain serious dancefloor intended tracks, in signature style of the label, where beats and groove take the lead, but keeping the soul.

The guys behind the collaborative Times are Ruff project & label (which they do together with Resistance Orchestra) bring you this time two solo tracks each. Alex Fields brings two tracks to the table which both are based on a jazzy foundation without becoming lazy. Fields pushes his drums and patterns to overdrive to uplift every dancefloor. while keeping the melody side musically interesting with jazzy solos. Bandit keeps it more rhythmic and straight-forward on his side. with a percussive driven beat-track and a small wink to earlier more hypnotic TAR releases with his track Ruff Street.
