james ruskin: shortcut

A bastion for British techno, Blueprint Records was originally founded in 1996 by James Ruskin and the late Richard Polson and since then has continued to be at the forefront of cutting-edge labels. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, the label releases a series of releases from Ruskin and other featured artists. The first of these is James Ruskin's latest solo EP, Shortcut, which features three typically sublime techno cuts from the driving title track, via the deeper rhythms of "Hang Up" to the experimental "Drums Eyes". It will be followed in the coming months by a Truncate and Ruskin EP, a new Ruskin and Broom EP Basement Jams 2 and a special anniversary compilation later in the year.
