From photography to production, Rukes tries hand at music with ‘Monsoon’
Celebrity photographer Rukes has taken millions of photos of world famous DJs around the globe, this time around, he aims to be the one being photographed with his first shot at an original production. Rukes tries his hand at reinventing himself as DJ Rukes, delivering a track appropriately titled “Monsoon,” one built for the festival circuit he’s spent so much time on as a photographer. He is already in high demand for his skills behind the camera, and now his foray into production may make 2014 Rukes’ busiest year ever. Could you imagine doing photography, playing a set, and doing interviews all in the same day? Festival promoters, booking agents, and fans beware — DJ Rukes has arrived. If the “Monsoon” teaser is an indicator of the future, the dance world is about to see another odd combination of a skill-set, “photographer/producer.”
