About DJ Rush

Growing up in Milton Keynes, music was part of life from an early age. Surrounded by the sounds of rave at the Sanctuary Music Arena, Northern Soul, Motown, and Ska, Ronnie 'DJ Rush' Rushmer developed a deep appreciation for rhythm and groove. His first real introduction to underground music came in the late 1980s, when his uncle would bring home rave tapes—that's when he fell in love with the raw, energetic sounds that shaped the UK scene.

My story

By the early 1990s Ronnie was discovering jungle and then the emerging sound of garage. He began experimenting with two cassette players as a child, later bought his first proper turntables at 14, and learned through years of practice. His first residency came in 1995 at Speed, playing early speed garage. Since then he has performed across the UK and internationally, run radio stations and nights, played for reggae legends Aswad, and continued bringing old-school classics and fresh garage sounds to new generations.

Rave, Northern Soul, Motown, Ska, reggae, jungle, UK Garage, Tuff Jam, Todd Terry, Grant Nelson, Double 99, MJ Cole, Armand Van Helden, Fabio, Ratty, Randall, DJ Hype, Kenny Ken, Darren J, House Crew, and Glen Woods.

The sound

A journey-led blend of old-school and contemporary UK Garage, soulful and speed garage, house, bassline, jungle, Drum & Bass, and reggae, shaped for the crowd, venue, and moment.
