"Black Ice Mudra" by Rustie

DV:

Nearly a decade since the last time we heard from Rustie, and yet "Black Ice Mudra" picks up practically where he left off. Which generally would not be a compliment, especially in the fast-moving world of electronic/dance music where he fits. If you were to tell me Rustie was back and sounded like he did nine years ago, I'd be concerned. It shouldn't really work! But it does, and I don't think it's just because I'm nostalgic for the simpler times of a decade past (or even for the ten-month period between Old and "Attak" where it seemed like Rustie and Danny Brown were going to render everyone else obsolete.) Because even in the intervening decade, I can't think of any other producer even attempting Rustie's particular style: the spiraling chaos, the buzzing ferocity, the twinkling ecstacy. It's wild and unmistakably his. "Black Ice Mudra" still sounds fresh in 2024 because even now, Rustie's in his own world, mining a rich vein that hasn't nearly run out yet. He probably can't stay there forever, but for now? "Black Ice Mudra" is as much a thrill as he's ever delivered.

MG:

I will say that it's a little thin on tension -- something Rustie seemed capable of controlling with the curl of a finger a decade -- and it's short, as well, which reinforces that feeling of lack, but "Black Ice Mudra" is certainly still a rush. If Evian Christ's absolutely perfect Essential Mix (and the return of Evian Christ, more generally) is any indication, this era of post-dubstep/hard trance is big time back. In that way, "Black Ice Mudra" sounds like but a drop, a taste of what a full Rustie project can yet deliver. Since DV wrote up "Black Ice Mudra," Rustie has dropped the even more aggressive and frosty "Thornzz" but even as a pair, there's still so much suffocating tundra left to explore.

THANK U EVIAN CHRIST

[gothjafar]

hii ure a huge inspiration for me :0 i was wondering how u became a DJ if thats okay!! i remember something about namasenda telling u to dj a rave over zoom from like forever ago lol

i became a dj because of namasenda that is correct i was known on twitter for my manic music paragraph tweets [rip arabthot] but it was simultaneously music recs so i got a platform from that i was also a music journalist at dazed so me crossing over into music was easy, i wanted to be a dj since 2017 because i went to an evian christ trance party and he played the t.a.t.u. ice underlord edit and i cried on the dancefloor in pitch black ecstasy i never knew music could touch my emotions like that a cathartic release ever since that day i wanted to have the same effect on people but cosmic timing im now a trance party resident, but yeah i never knew when or how to start but i always knew djing was my destiny career path then the pandemic hit namasenda asked me to dj her release party on zoom she was like i know u have the music taste and you have it in you i watched a traktor tutorial and then djd live on zoom on a lineup with a.g. cook, hannah diamond, himera and lil data isnt that insane… so full circle and for my first gig club quarantine lowkey started my career and im forever indebted to namasenda for always seeing something in me as i see in her
