SUNBURST (VINYL)

Over the course of a crucial handful of solo releases, a split single with JOKER and remixes for the likes of MODESELEKTOR, ZOMBY & THE BIG PINK, Glasgow's Rustie has reached the point where posting a new track on his MySpace page is enough to cause a clamour from fans around the world, As Rustie's most expansive piece of work to date, Sunburst EP is pretty self-explanatory, a bright & brilliant sensory shock, Taking the rarely-linked sonics of hyper-digital video game music & bombastic, audacious prog-rock, Rustie folds them into his melted plastic confection of crunk, classic electro & techno, His Warp debut starts of in epic fashion with the sci-fi stadium rock of "Neko" & the masterful low-riding speaker smasher "Dragonfly", It's the melodic waves of "Beast Nite" and the mangled synths and minimal percussion of "Chew" that start to reveal Rustie's sound away from the dancefloor and looks towards how he'll evolve towards next year's full-length, before the rousing finale of "Hyperthrust", It can feel gone in a flash, but that just means it's time to start the record again.
