High Rankin ‘Occupation: Pimp and Gambler’
2009 saw big things for Will Rankin; a signing to the Cheap Thrills imprint, and a powerful first release, ‘No Money For Guns’. We knew the man wasn’t monkeying around. ‘The Airloom’ and its haunting video, got inside our heads, as well as his relentless Glade Festival mix and fine remixes for the likes of The Count & Sinden, Kevin Rudolf and Skunk Anansie. Beyond music, Mr Rankin’s harsh and humorous persona had us spitting out our food and drink on more than one occasion via his tweets and blog. Undoubtedly, good entertainment at either destination.
The next step in the High Rankin story takes the form of an EP entitled: ‘Occupation: Pimp and Gambler’, out now exclusively on Beatport and due for general release via Cheap Thrills, 15th February. Eagerly anticipated, it’s everything you’d expect from High Rankin. He’s resurrecting his label, ‘Suicide Dub’ in the next few months and “looking to sign some hot shit.” Get on that here. His latest mixes will melt your brain, especially February’s ‘Fury Rank’. Nothing quite gets as brash as this. Strap yourselves in and enjoy the ride.
