Rulers of the
Deep a.k.a. The Vibe Residents are a DJ duo comprised
of DJ Meri and P. Julm from Estonia. The two met
in 1998 when they were chosen to become the resident
DJs for the most talked about event in Estonia
"‘VIBE". The duo, became known
under the moniker "THE VIBE RESIDENTS",
providing a classic in the making. VIBE gave the
Rulers a whole new Dj’ing opportunity of
sharing nights with DJ’s and artists such
as Josh Wink, King Britt, Roger Sanchez, and the
list goes on. When the two came together to remix
KOT’s "Finally" their talent soon
became surprisingly noticed by the likes of Seamus
Haji and Simon Dunmore (Defected), Roger Sanchez,
and Josh Wink. They then remixed ATFC "Sleep
Talk" that rose to no.1 on the UK charts.
Their dedication to DJ Dozia "Track One"
(inspired by one of his guest spots to Vibe) was
signed to Ovum recordings and lead to a remix
of the new SNS Project "Get Up". After
their remix of SerJaye "Mahal Kita"
(Neat Music UK) they decided to collaborate with
"DragonFly" the vocalist from the track.
Being no stranger to Roger Sanchez, Vibe Residents
already had "Make it Funky" signed but,
it was to the Rulers surprise that the track they
would make with DragonFly, "Temptation"
(a track that was done in 3 days), would be signed
within seconds of hearing it to Roger Sanchez.
"Temptation" will be the first release
on Roger Sanchez new record label Stealth based
in the UK September 2002. Other remixes under
their belt are chart topping Shakedown "At
Night", IL Padrinos feat Jocelyn Brown "That’s
how good your love is", & Mambana "No
Reason". Also scheduled for release in October
a track that will set the name Rulers of the Deep
aside from your average producers "Dirty
Grooves" Ovum which has caught the attention
of David Alvarado who has remixed the single.
The duo now intend to work on 3 new tracks with
Dragonfly, full-length albums for Stealth and
Defected and are negotiating an album deal with
Ovum Recordings. Their sound ranges from Deep
to Tribal and Dark.
Besides their residency at Vibe where they play
for over 4000 clubbers and the annual yearly Sun
