Living in the cultural hub of Asheville, NC, Kyle Partin – better known as Cut Rugs – has long been pushing the boundaries of musical experimentation.  For the past seven years, he’s been delivering a strange, dark fusion of psychedelic bass and trance-inducing drum loops, cultivating a unique genre all his own.  
 

Cut Rugs finds creative inspiration in a wide variety of electronically produced music, including deep dub, hip hop, drum and bass, and trap. He has released tunes on multiple labels, such as Adapted, The Rust Music, The Untz, Thazdope, The Undergrowth, and Gang Related Activities.  This coming winter, he’ll be releasing well over an hour of new music on multiple labels.

      In addition to making moves in the studio, Cut Rugs has been touring nonstop. He has enjoyed performing at many iconic festivals, among them Summer Camp, Backwoods, The Untz, Winter Warmer, Pass the Good, Sound Haven, and Barnstock.  While making appearances across the nation, he has shared the stage with big names like Koan Sound, Ganja White Knight, Kursa, Reso, Truth, The Widdler, Ill.Gates, Minnesota, Eprom, Bogtrotter, Jade Cicada, Luzcid, Dirt Monkey, Yheti, Toadface, Thriftworks, Run DMT, Liquid Stranger, Charlesthefirst, Psymbionic, Space Jesus, Clozee, Subtronics, and many more.
