International Rescue Sounds were formed in 2004 by London DJ Dr Khan and producers Swamijee and 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 & Dr Khan:Innovate/ Vodka:Solid) followed in Sept 2005 while their third 12" IRS003 (Vodka:Bitch Slap/Swamijee & Dr Khan:Inlove) was unleashed in February 2007. The 4th release on the label, IRS004 (Vodka:By My Side/Swamijee & Dr Khan: 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.
