about

For suspension’s second release, S Ruston composes an ode to a society where people are increasingly atomised under surveillance-capitalism, and hence need spaces for radical conviviality and festivity.

S Ruston's first EP, “Narcosexual,” is a celebration of breaks and high-rave pounding energy, led by vocals that seduce us with dirty-talk. Intuitive and multifaceted, the Lecken resident summons a vortex of experiences of addictive desire, advocating for a sensuous dance floor. Inspired by her active role in the sex-positive party scene, S Ruston invokes the collective euphoria of a sexually liberated club scene, superimposed with contrasting feelings; shame, stigma, fear, and prohibition. Borrowing screencaps from the chemsex-complex-app Grindr, the image-coding artist Olivia Jack creates a video-hole-trip of online-cruising echoes we might have once fallen into. Decoding the feelings of loneliness and desire that inhabit the drug-tech interface, Isabassi remixes the track that names the EP, slowing it down, filling it with glitches and weeping beats - this is how it must sound to embed bass with such feelings.

“Witch hunts did nothing more than conceal the criminalisation of practices of ‘voluntary intoxication’ and sexual and hallucinogenic self-experimentation”

Paul B. Preciado in
Testo Junkie: Sex, Drugs, and Biopolitics in the Pharmacopornographic Era
