James Ruskin - Shortcut

British techno veteran James Ruskin resurfaces on his esteemed Blueprint label, for a series of executions in direct impact techno. As fierce and as functional as you’d surely expect, the three cuts on his latest Shortcut EP feature all the hallmarks of his idiosyncratic sound. Starting with the slow burning title track: an off-kilter expression in greyscale futurism with a seething atmosphere throughout. Picking up the pace next is the rolling, bass-driven stepper “Hang Up” which will captivate you with its intricate rhythm programming, and ending with the chilling and dystopic ambient journey of “Drums Eyes”.
