The brainchild of little known indie soca, calypso and bossa nova band, Apex Restart, Deepdale Rudge was conceptualised during the transitional phase of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The musical ensemble consisted of four main players, each of which contributed their own personal wealth of experience to create what Jonathan King - the DJ - described as a soca, calypso and bossa nova brit pop fusion. Pete Tong described their 1993 white label as dire eclectic tripe, but it managed to reach the ears of 107 of Lord Byron's entrants in the summer of 1994, at 1107pm BST, when it was first played on the club's record player and sound system. Percussionist Michel (the hispanic male version) mentions this event in his autobiography, "Cometh the Hour, Cometh the Man", with over exuberent sadness that the track was cut short by 40 seconds when the DJ successfully mixed in Def Con One from Pop will Eat Itself. Rudge launched with 2 memorable fanzines - on folded foolscap - in black and white, in the early 90s, as a rebuke from a breed of fans keen to have their say independently, and at little cost. A third edition was released although it wasn't as good as the previous 2.Renowned for innovation, Rudge's first edition was well received, particularly when it contained a voucher for a free pint of Becks on entry to Byron's on any Saturday night that season. By popular demand the second edition was released, although many fans baulked at the exclusion of the free Becks voucher. Times had changed, and in a massive error of judgement, Rudge Mach II free gift was a complimentary game of Arabian Derby at the Pleasure Beach any day in December. Fans turned on the editorial team, forcing them into the local underground, where they have survived for a decade and a half. Until now.....
