Rustie - Sunburst EP

Single Review by Martin Skivington | 22 Sep 2010
Single title: Sunburst EP
Artist: Rustie
Label: Warp
Release date: 4 Oct

Rustie's intermittent 12"s, remixes and guest spots have made him a minor sensation at 'in the know' club scenes around the globe, but with Sunburst he scales lofty new heights in the age of the post-J Dilla inspired producer pantheon. The EP opens with Neko, a prog behemoth of audacious synth-guitar, drum trills, and a monstrous bass line, with Rustie sounding like the evil twin of fellow weegie and Warp label mate Hudson Mohawke.

The speaker-testing bass and stretched vocals of Dragonfly sit somewhere between his acclaimed Jagz The Smack EP and the twisted dubstep of Burial, while highlight Beast Nite is all arcade game vibes and militant vocal stabs; more than enough to get folks clamouring for the longplayer. [Martin Skivington]
