Amongst his earliest musical endeavors, Ruscha co-founded \u003cb\u003eMedicine\u003c\/b\u003e, an overlooked (until \u003cb\u003eCaptured Tracks\u003c\/b\u003e’ comprehensive 2012 reissue project) four piece whose sinister, snarling take on shoegaze landed them as the first American signing to \u003cb\u003eCreation Records\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter leaving Medicine without a bad taste in his mouth, Ruscha’s focus shifted from his shoes to the endless array of LA music stores housing analog synthesizers, drum machines and effect units forsaken at the advent of digital technology. The early experiments were documented to a Tascam 424 four track, seeping into LA soil when Ruscha would slip a dub-infused Secret Circuit production on the PA at his \u003cb\u003eDub Club\u003c\/b\u003e mainstay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetouring momentarily from the Secret Circuit motherboard, Ruscha joined \u003cb\u003eThomas Bullock\u003c\/b\u003e of \u003cb\u003eRub n’ Tug\u003c\/b\u003e to record a ludicrously limited edition disco sleaze rock masterpiece as \u003cb\u003eLaughing Light of Plenty\u003c\/b\u003e.

Ruscha likens this immersion to “striving for alien sound or rhythm that feels natural.” Between 2011 and 2012, Ruscha released no less than four albums (including 2012’s year end vision quest, \u003cem\u003eTropical Psychedelics\u003c\/em\u003e), a 12” for \u003cb\u003ePrins Thomas\u003c\/b\u003e’ \u003cb\u003eInternasjonal Spesial\u003c\/b\u003e label, a handful of blazing mixes on the Cosmic Papers cassette tape series, and his debut for Beats In Space Records, the \u003cem\u003eNebula Sphynx \/ Parascopic Rope\u003c\/em\u003e 12”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEver the unsettled settler, Ruscha consciously crafted the bulk of \u003cem\u003eTactile Galactics\u003c\/em\u003e’ tracks at 120 beats per minute. Ruscha played with the equalizing value of this boilerplate dance music BPM in much the same way a DJ might -- to set a clear course for transcendence.
