I don't think a(n spoken) language without vowels exist.
In the article the mention Tashlhiyt Berber but then they put an example that actually HAS VOWELS.
In "ssrksxt" there are not vowels in the script, but there are vowels in the sound. I can hear at least two of them.
The fact that you don't write it down does not mean that it does not exist.
For example in English "spoken" is pronounced like ES- POU -KEN(1), even when there is no "e" in the first S, actually the "e" vowel exist in the sound, and you use two pure sounds when there is only one "o" in the middle.
On the other hand, vowels that exist on script does not need to exist in sound. The typical example is Make, wich actually sounds like MEIK.
(1)If we consider pure vocal sounds as in Japanese, Spanish or Turkish. English ha no clear sounds for vowels, but mixes pure sounds.

Spanish doesn't allow sk- or sp- clusters at the beginning of words, so you can see exactly what the phenomenon you describe sounds like.
