JULY RELEASE NEWS
We are pleased to announce that IRS004 was released at the beginning of July 2007 and is now available from the following record shops: CHEMICAL, REDEYE, JUNO, INTENSE & IMO. The release features a liquid d&b double header with Vodka's 'By My Side' on the A Side with Swamijee's 'Dustbowl' on the flip.

International Rescue Sounds were formed in 2004 by producers Swamijee & Vodka, based out of St Gallen, East Switzerland. They first collaborated on the 'Foolish Remixes' 12" and have gone on to release four 12"s featuring tunes from both the d&b and breaks genres to great acclaim. Their debut release IRS001 'Foolish (Breaks Mix)/Foolish (Drum & Bass Mix)' hit the shops in October 2004 and became a highly sought after item, completely selling out of it's white label press. The second 12" IRS002 (Swamijee :Innovate/ Vodka:Solid) followed in Sept 2005 while their third 12" IRS003 (Vodka:Bitch Slap/Swamijee:Inlove) was unleashed in February 2007. The 4th release on the label, IRS004 (Vodka:By My Side/Swamijee : Dustbowl) was released in July 2007 and promptly sold out, leading to a repress in August of that year. IRS have toured extensively as a crew (2 djs and 2 mcs) with Madd Family's Mchizy CD also contributing to microphone duties. They have performed together in London, Barcelona and all over Switzerland and have supported the likes of d&b heavyweights Commix and Blame.


VODKA (PRODUCER/DJ)
Vodka started out as a dj back in 1992, playing at local parties in St Gallen, East Switzerland. By 1995 he had formed the Ill Smoking Junglists, who are credited as the first crew to actively promote the jungle sound throughout the St Gallen area and Vodka started to produce tracks covering a broad range of electronic styles. For his djing, however, he focussed fully on jungle and the emerging drum & bass sound and went on to form The Future Sub Junglists in 1998. In 2001 Vodka hooked up with Earthbeat Records' Swamijee and his first output for the label was a split d&b/ breaks 12b
