About this item

As Rustie’s most expansive piece of work to date, "Sunburst EP" is pretty self-explanatory, a bright and brilliant sensory shock. Taking the rarely-linked sonics of hyper-digital video game music and bombastic, audacious prog-rock Rustie folds them into his melted plastic confection of crunk, classic electro and techno. His Warp debut starts off in epic fashion with the sci-fi stadium rock of “Neko” and 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.
