Not only as a solo artist he already released in the past years on labels like Cocoon Recordings & Harthouse. His last album Jailhouse Rocker was released on Cocoon Recordings and showed once more the choice of Franks great flexibility.

JAMES RUSKIN (TRESOR , BLUEPRINT)

London born and based techno producer and DJ. James Ruskin comes from a background that first put him in touch with hip-hop and electro and later with the emerging detroit techno scenes.
