London-based Irish producer Bruk Rogers aka Cian McCann (Zero T/Zero Tolerance/Searchlight) signs to Brighton-stable Tru Thoughts and shares new single "LDN 313", a sonic clash between the cities of London (LDN) and Detroit (area code 313).

"LDN 313" combines London beats and basslines centred in the genres of bruk/broken beat and grime - layered with Detroit techno stabs and pads, influenced by the soundscapes of the iconic Mad Mike (Underground Resistance). "There's an obvious nod to Marc Mac's Nu Era productions in the synth parts also" Bruk Rogers added.

The Bruk Rogers alias was born out of Cian's long-held love of the broken beat genre, and its recent resurgence spearheaded by labels such as Tru Thoughts, Rhythm Section International, Selectors Assemble and Eglo Records. Aesthetically and eponymously influenced by watching endless reruns of the 70s sci-fi adventure series Buck Rogers, the mischievous alias was coined with the help of a friend. "My older brothers wanted to call me Twiki - so it's all a bit of good fun and kitsch nostalgia!" Cian says.
