Stag-O-Lee is proud to continue the DJ-Set Series with compilation by cult DJ Mr. Rudy.
DJ Rudy blew us away with his selection of tunes at the Goezot festival in Belgium in September 2021. And when he sent us the list of festivals and weekenders he played at, we were even more impressed. So we invited him to compile what is Volume 7 in the DJ Series on Stag-O-Lee.
Linernotes:
When I first heard DJ Rudy play, I could instantly feel the buzz on the dancefloor and see the excitement amongst the dancers. As the night progressed, being a DJ myself, I kept a keen eye on the clearly popular and friendly guy delivering the tunes – many of which (to my delight) I had never even heard before and the dance floor fillers kept coming, well put together and smoothly delivered.
At last, I thought, a DJ who knows what the dancers want, isn’t afraid to play a really wide mix of rockin genres, (from rockabilly and r’n’b to early sixties garage bands from Belgium!) and was not someone trying to impress with a small box of ultra rare 45’s… he wasn’t in the DJ booth to please himself, he was there to please the crowd and give them what they wanted.
Since then Rudy has played many sets for me at the Rockabilly Rave and is a regular DJ on the international rockin scene. And the best part of my running into him all those years ago is that he is one of the nicest, warmest, passionate guys the scene has. Always willing to help, always with a huge smile and a kind word and always something positive to contribute.
This album is a great taste of what Rudy has brought to the scene. It proves that rockin tunes can be different and diverse, but if you pick the right ones it’s always a rockin party!
