About the concept:
Here is the one hundred and fourteenth instalment of our series “abc plays xyz”.
The idea behind it is to ask some DJs/mixing artists if they have an artist or label in mind that they love and would like to use for a mix.
So the approach of each mix is clear: the choosen DJ/mixing artist makes a selection of tracks produced by one artist (and her/his monikers. or released on a label (and its sublabels. and creates a nice mix from it.
Find links to all instalments at our overview. Today we present you SLV’s mix of stuff produced or remixed by James Ruskin or one of this monikers/collaborations.
About SLV:
The identity of this project is not well defined,even less if it’s just an absolute concept rather than a life form. Born in the heart of the east Berlin,influenced by the well known techno-culture’s mecca. SLV stains the vibe with melancholic harmonies driven by dark and cold grooves which make its sound unexampled.
About James Ruskin:
James Ruskin is one of the leading lights in UK techno. With a musical history that can be traced back to mid-80s electro and hip-hop, Ruskin brings a long background and deep knowledge of underground electronic music to his productions and DJing. He explores a variety of tempos and beat structures throughout his vast back catalogue
James also runs the label Blueprint Records, releasing music from the likes of Surgeon, O/V/R, Oliver Ho, Truncate & his own project with Mark Broom, The Fear Ratio, aswell as 3 albums & multiple EP’s on legendary Berlin techno label, Tresor Records

SLV About His Choice:
Ive always loved the sound of James , it was one of my favorite artist that I follow when I start to play music, I have almost all the vinyl he produced, I really loved how he produce every single track for that I also ask him to remix my track Encode coming out on Virgo, Ilario Alicante label. (Exclusive Included in this mix for NovaFuture).
James I think is one of the best artist that we have on electronic music.
