Hot on the heels of the recent reissue of the Point 2 LP, James Ruskin follows up for Tresor Records
with a bold new EP entitled Siklikal.
Right from the outset, Nepte draws in by vast sonics and laser focus, unruly synths distort over a
skipping beat that hits hard in the right places. As the beat takes a backstep but no less rhythmic, Kn
Te3 is one for adventurous DJs, recalling the minimal loops that Ruskin is known for, seeped in
industrial melancholy that fizzes a granular decay.
On the b-side, Nocke brings the beat back to the forefront with a muscular UK techno sound, highly e
ective and pounding. Closing the EP is Kn Am3 which retains the industrial sinew of its nearnamesake
Kn Te3, exposing raw synth excursions over brutalist machinations. This EP symbolises
Ruskin's dynamic approach, pushing at boundaries yet never without a strong grip over the
dancefloor.
