The King of Bass returns from a year-long slumber to make an massive impact on dance music. Always one to challenge the status quo, Rusko’s new EP, !, is an introduction to a new era of sound exploration. On the heels of BassNectar’s new album, Noise vs. Beauty, this EP is sure to keep bass fans happy as clams at high tide.
This is the the first time I’ve ever released a record that’s not dubstep or drum and bass. It’s not house or techno either – I tried to create 5 fun tracks that fit into no genre, or maybe a whole new genre altogether! …and be prepared, this is only Vol1!
On !, Rusko’s genre-blending adroitness goes unmatched. Exploring every possible combination of sound, the production mastermind seamlessly folds bass-heavy harmonies into a funky dnb beat on opening track Like A Boss. What follows is an mind-blowing array of sound – everything from glitzy drum-work and soaring synths in Sunshower, to the ass-grinding My Style. Rusko chills things a bit with the bass-wave-riding Happy Chords before blasting down the tracks again with an unhinged video game-inspired, bass-tastic Rusko Theme.
Grab ! when it hits digital shelves (Beatport, iTunes) on July 29th. For the meantime, check out Sunshower on SoundCloud:
