Debut Album Unveiled by Run Da Riddim

In a heartfelt tribute to the new generation of artists shaping the UK's bass soundscape, Run Da Riddim, an event promoter and artist collective based in Bristol, has released their debut album, 'Sounds Of The Jungle'. This exuberant celebration is more than just a tribute; it's a testament to the legacy of Calum Leighton, one of the founding members who tragically passed away in a car accident on August 21, 20XX.

Leighton's label was launched the day before his death, and his posthumous track 'Masterpiece' received industry support, amassing tens of thousands of plays. The track, featuring the vocals of Marns, is a standout on the album.

'Sounds Of The Jungle' showcases the talents of Leighton's kindred spirits and fellow graduates from Bristol's dBs and BIMM audio schools. Euphonique, Scuffed, and Calum Leighton himself founded Run Da Riddim in 2022. Euphonique and Scuffed make guest appearances on the album, along with Op Breaks, H3, and TOFA, who are residents of Run Da Riddim.

Each artist on Run Da Riddim's roster adds their own contemporary spin to the tracks on 'Sounds Of The Jungle'. The album is a touching commemoration of Calum Leighton's life and legacy.

50% of the profits from 'Leighton's Rave Party', an event held in his memory, will be equally split between Brake and Wiltshire Treehouse charities. The latest event took place at Bristol's The Clock Factory, where Run Da Riddim began. 'Leighton's Rave Party - a tribute to Calum, Joe, and Lawrence' will take place on Saturday, August 19, at the same venue.

For those seeking a detailed summary of Calum Leighton's influence and posthumous releases, no verified public information was found in the search results. Specialised music databases, label releases, or artist biographies in the drum and bass genre may need to be consulted directly for authoritative information.

Despite the lack of comprehensive information about Leighton's career, his impact on the drum and bass scene is evident. The Instagram mention referring to "our very own @leightondnb" suggests he was a recognised artist within the Junglist and drum and bass community.

'Sounds Of The Jungle' is released on June 2 and serves as a poignant reminder of the talent lost too soon and the enduring spirit of music that continues to thrive in Bristol's vibrant drum and bass scene.
