Russell Whyte's first official release as Rustie, issued on Stuffrecords in 2007 at the height of the purple sound wave emanating from Britain alongside Hudson Mohawke and Joker, is a record that shows the template for everything that followed in messy, primitive, entirely compelling form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFive sparse, repetitive takes on dubstep that are stupidly simple in the best possible way — the compositions scattershot and random on the surface, yet flowing with a smoothness that speaks to an innate and fully formed musical instinct. \u003cem\u003eClipper\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eJagz The Smack\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCrooked\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePendulum\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eResponse\u003c\/em\u003e are not polished or particularly brilliant in isolation, but the uniqueness and originality that would define Rustie's career is already unmistakably present, cutting through the tape distortion and wacky textures with the confidence of a producer who already knows where he is going. Essential early documentation of one of UK bass music's most singular talents, before the rest of the world caught on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA1. Clipper\u003cbr\u003eA2.
