R8001 - 'Root of all Evil' EP - Rogue State ft. Lone Ranger
Originally released in August 2007 but still available in the shops now. The EP has 3 very distinct tracks, proving Rogue's versatility as a producer. 'Root Of All Evil' is a rootsy number featuring the dancehall legend Lone Ranger. On the flip side 'Big Up From Sheff' is a raspy, warbling stormer, paying homage to its Sheffield origin, and 'Soul Music' is a chilled, yet dancefloor friendly fusion of Detroit style deep house and dubstep.

R8002 - 'Very Dangerous' EP - Rogue State ft. Daddy Freddy
The second vinyl was released Oct 8th 2007 and has currently sold out from most outlets. We will repress at some stage, watch out for the update.
The a-side, 'Very Dangerous' features record braking (World's Fastest Rapper) veteran Daddy Freddy, this track is a quirky, but still very dark. On t'other side is 'Wiked 'N' Bad', a grimey one with a unique vocal hook provided by 14 year old Sheffield MC, Road Runner. Also on the second side is 'Bouncestep'. Perhaps Rogue's daftest tune to date which compels ravers to dance like chickens, nuff said.

FORTHCOMING - March 2008
R8003 - 'Judgement Come' - Rogue State ft. Dan Man
A. Judgement Come ft. Dan Man
B. Street Light
'Judgement Come' - Teaming up with Huddersfield based vocalist, Dan Man, Rogue marries the bassline house styles so prevalent in Sheffield's 7 hills the more minimal and bassy sounds of dubstep. Hauting vocals and 8bit synths add depth and contrast to the uplifting energy of the beats. 'Street Light' - Already heard in many Sheffield clubs this tune truly announces Rogue's new discovery. Pitched and chopped snippets of a female vocal are placed with string stabs and a rolling, wandering bassline. The track is driven along by steady 4/4 kicks but broken down with a half step snare. Definitely one for the dancefloor.

1. Jaisha
2. Gyal Just Wanna 'Ave Fun
3. Digital Storm
Rogue State unvails his new sound with 3 tracks already well established on the underground and now available on this exclusive digital download. 'Jaisha' features the vocals of Daddy Freddy and his daughter Jaisha. Soft syths reminiscent of early rave days are accompanied by a tearing bassline that rips straight to your core. Dropping into the main composition, the grime, dubstep and niche sounds are all heard and form a serious new riddim. 'Gyal Just Wanna 'Ave Fun' has uplifting and bouncy beats with a garagey bassline. This tune has caused some serious dance skiffles when played out. 'Digital Storm' is a darker track from Rogue. Like an 8-bit shoot-em-up soundtrack with bass unheard of on a ZX Spectrum.
