Rusko Returns With Roaring Nod to Classic Drum & Bass, “MAC 19”: Listen
Legendary bass music pioneer Rusko has returned with a new single on Elevate Records. Tracing back to the roots of the UK bass movement, the dubstep icon dials up the tempo for a roaring drum & bass single called “MAC 19.” Rusko’s latest retains all of the wubby splendor he’s so well known for, while trading in the dubstep sentimentality for the raw energy of the classic drum & bass anthems of auld. Kicking things off with a rather ravey introduction reminiscent of UK hardcore, Rusko employs a ragga vocal sample and snare drum buildup to ramp up the energy before the drop. In the main sections, a daunting hoover bass duels with the quintessential Rusko wobble bass as the drum breaks shuffle on. In his nod to the drum & bass explosion of the 90s, Ru...

Listen to Rusko’s “Sauce” EP, First Release of 2020
The long wait is over for new music from Rusko. Since dropping his Genghis Danger EP in 2019, the iconic dubstep trailblazer has been relatively silent. That changed today with Rusko’s Sauce EP, his debut on the Wakaan imprint. Sauce is Rusko through and through. The old school flavor that the producer is so well known for is apparent, as always, but so is his ability to keep things fresh. The EP is certainly a callback to classic dubstep, but has all of the forward-thinking elements that have constantly evolved the Rusko sound. “Carrot Cake” opens the release with dub reggae-infused wobbles in the classic Rusko style. Following it is “Ecstasy Dreamland,” a near-180 from the EP opener that lives up to its name with futuristic elements and chord stabs...
