Meet the Artists:

DUFFREY:

Duffrey has an insatiable hunger for brain tickling soundscapes and funky bass. Growing up as an Oakland based drummer and musician from a young age, he’s been squeezing sounds from his environment since he can remember. His goal is to convert brainwaves into vibrational energy that takes control of your body and leaves you tingling.

Some words on Duffrey’s 2021 release with The Rust Music, Return to Source:

“Amidst the landscape of American-bred bass music, Duffrey has carved out a space near the tip of the spear, brandishing a reputation as a dancefloor fiasco in his own right and an integral arm of the Ultrasloth producer group. Just in time for a return to sound systems across the continent, The Rust is incredibly excited to host his latest minted release, Return to Source.

In true Duffrey fashion, the EP is replete with a pure head-nod focus, channeling smooth synthesis and pocketed bass lines into inviting, staccato rhythms. The flash and fanfare of contemporary sound design can sometimes feel like an oversaturated veneer, but Duffrey’s straightforward texture palette eases the listener into an experience that does as much justice through easy listening as it does on the club floor. Eschewing both brooding and manic atmosphere’s, his preferences and style instead lend themselves to jovial, petrol-laden anthems that roar with confidence as opposed to sheer ferocity. For the heads looking for a package that oozes with swagger and specificity, Duffrey’s Return to Source should be more than enough to satiate your needs.”

SYLPH:

Wielding a striking production and songwriting prowess, Emily Rose Thaler is the meticulous, thorough individual behind the Sylph moniker; fusing over a dozen years of continuous musical education and experimentation, the pronounced ethereal bent and weighty, emotive themes of the Sylph catalog engender the image of constant evolution. 

Utilizing shared and disparate elements across halftime, drum and bass, 140, downtempo, and psybass disciplines, Sylph is a wonderful amalgamation of pristine synthesis and harmonic interplay. In a performance context, her larger vision of psychedelia and impact take on an engrossing dimension, keeping dancefloors steadily in the pocket and ears at sharp attention.

CRAWDAD SNIPER:

We’re excited to welcome Crawdad Sniper to NYC for the first time following the release of his recent EP, Squid Pro Quo with The Rust Music this past January.

Some words on the release:

“Hailing from the D.C. area and falling back on a lifetime of experience behind the drum kit, Crawdad Sniper is a producer/DJ with a significant rhythmic bent. Already boasting a modest catalog of hip-shaking tunes and sprinkles of funkadelic electronic music, his latest collection of tracks fields sharp sound design and pocketed phasing with a polished profile. In a bid to start the new off with a righteous groove, The Rust is especially excited to host his newly minted EP, Squid Pro Quo.

Tight, pinpoint percussion dominates the runtime of Squid Pro Quo, serving as the consistent foundation for his rhythmic and melodic arrangements. Taking clear advantage of his time as a drummer, it’s simultaneously the backbone and foreground of the EP, with each hit taking up generous sonic bandwidth. Each track flares with an alternate series of forward and laid back attitudes while keeping the focus squarely on kinetics; splices of throaty synthesis mingle with staccato lead lines and harmonized chord plucks, closing the distance between hard hitting neuro motifs and pronounced songwriting fundamentals. There’s an almost liquid quality to the EP’s engineering, producing a listening experience that is as hygienic as it is engaging, and betraying a significant dedication to cleanliness as well as design. For fans and appreciators of rhythmic inertia, funk motifs, and generous synthesis, Crawdad Sniper’s Squid Pro Quo is guaranteed to satisfy.”
