Rustie has made his recent Essential Mix available to stream for free via SoundCloud.
The Essential Mix is an institution. Running for more than two decades, the Radio 1 slot has attracted some seminal producers. A quick shout around the office reveals personal favourites from Daft Punk, Flying Lotus, David Holmes and Hudson Mohawke – amongst many, many others.
Rustie recently took charge of the Essential Mix and spun an incredible selection of day-glo coloured Maximalism. Currently on tour across North America, the Glaswegian producer is continually evolving, continually pushing forward.
The tracklisting is heavy on his own productions as well as that of close friends HudMo and The Blessings, although there are oddball choices such as Destiny’s Child.
Opening and ending with ‘Impressions (Dialogue)’ from The Friends of Distinction, the mix acts both as a fantastic introduction to Rustie and an indication of what to expect from the future. Stream it below.
