Release Note ......::
The Mote Evolver debut of Amsterdam-based producer Jeff Rushin fits into the
label catalog with an uncanny ease: much like his ME labelmates, Rushin is an
artist who has the cool confidence and patience to let ideas slowly simmer, and
knows that this simmering process is essential for his distinct sonic
seasonings to truly and positively affect the body and mind. Rushin's deft
programming and arranging skill places him comfortably into a new school of
producers: those who can project original atmospheres and emotional nuances
without straying too far from a classic palette of techno sounds; and who
release tracks of impressive depth without caring too much about "impressing."
The opening track on A Figment Of His Imagination, "Coda," is an audio
nightfall that illusrates all of the above. A flawlessly executed demonstration
of anticipation building: a shivering sequence slowly creeps into the
listener's headspace, recedes, and returns again accompanied with sharp claps
and huge subterranean kicks. "Facing the Truth" continues in this vein, but
this time being more appropriate to watching the sun rise, as it combines the
same commanding kick sound with busy cymbal shivers and the audio counterpart
of frozen light rays. On the b-side, "Enigma" applies Rushin's calm but
forceful approach to what feels like a determined journey through a forest of
translucent filaments: the glassy ringing motif makes it a contender for the
most unique track on the record, although the closer "A Figment of his
Imagination" has something to say on that subject as well. Intense hydraulic
pumping and denial of mid-range frequencies gives it the hardest edge of any of
the selections here, yet Rushin's aformentioned talents prevent this
titanium-plated industrial pounder from being a rote exercise in aggression.
A Figment Of His Imagination is at once one of the most mature and most focused
releases in Rushin's young career; an exciting new snapshot of a work in
progress.
