The EP opens with „7am“ which is an interplay of nature sounds, warm pads and breakbeats. „2pm“ is a colorful and warm journey into deep space. The EP closes with „3am“ which shows the tension between the organic warmth and uplifting energy of a dance floor track, followed by a heavy and thundery remix by the very talented Portuguese DJ and producer Robert Hoff.

Tracklist:

Outer Bass

Push

Desire

 

Press Info:
Croatian DJ & producer heavyweight Insolate debuts on Luke Slater’s legendary Mote Evolver imprint with a massive four-tracker of pure bred techno ready for the dance floor. After leaving her signature on highly respected labels such as DJ Deep’s Deeply Rooted, Developer’s Modularz, Ben Sim’s Symbolism, BPitch Control as well as her Out Of Place imprint, she now delivers ‘Push’ a finely crafted EP of peak time material.

Opening the A side, fierce workout ‘Outer Bass’ is showcasing a sinister driving energy that is followed by the raw frenetic groover title track ‘Push’. On the flip side ‘Blow’ is a trippy, no-compromise cut, while closing, classy atmospheric track ‘Desire’ finishes off the EP with its effortless soulful touch and elegant, melodic synth pads flying by.

out now: James Ruskin – From The Ashes EP [Token Records]

 

Artist:
James Ruskin

 

Title:
From The Ashes EP

 

Label:
Token Records

 

Cat#:
TOKEN116

 

Release Date:
12th May 2023

 

Format:
vinyl, download & streaming

 

Tracklist:
A1.
From The Ashes 1

A2.
From The Ashes 2

B1.
From The Ashes 3

 

Press Info:
Offering a three track EP on Token, emblematic UK producer James Ruskin proves his capability and linear focus once again through ‘From the Ashes’. Looking past trends to create a lasting record rich in texture and thick with impact, the project affirms what the scene has already known to be true about his work for the past 25 years. 

Setting his intentions from the A1, Ruskin wastes no time by creating an intimidating introduction. Saturated percussion and stuttering keys whip through a 4 minute masterclass of sound system focused production. Adventurous in structure, Ruskin remains unquestionably in control of a bursting, almost chaotic track. ‘From the Ashes 2’ picks up what was left off, containing a hard-set groove with hi hats slithering in progressively from the stereo image to slightly destabilize an impressive club-heavy tool. With intricate work being done in the ambience, the EP’s hard hitting second track booms through a cavernous acoustic, giving the record not only body, but dimension. Switching up the rhythm and focusing on more mental synth work for the third act, Ruskin quickly and mercilessly rips through his work with a shrill pad, creating overwhelming tension to be released in the first third of the recording. He brings a dosed dissonance between his elements, reflective of the qualities of vintage techno with today’s capabilities and arrangement. Pushing intensity through waves, Ruskin leaves us in anticipation of a fourth track that is never given.
