Yesterday I spent most of the afternoon sorting through promo mixes from well known artists as well as ones from the up and coming producer bro. For some reason, I guess it’s hip these days to make an entire mix of nothing but jungle drums and pitch bending horn samples. Needless to say, I gave ‘electronic dance music’ a big F U and listened to nothing but Megadeath, Danzig, and Cradle of Filth for the remainder of my Monday. Tuesday came bearing gifts. LIKE, A HUGE GIFT WRAPPED F*$KING PRESENT OF BASS. Enter RUSKO x SUB FOCUS (a match made in Hades). I really should have seen this coming as Sub Focus was my favorite act of WMC (err, maybe Nero was). The original Rusko track ‘Hold On’ will be on his upcoming album (may 4 on maddecent) rudely named ‘O.M.G.’ (what are we, dead mow 5 bro?) You can stream the original on Pitchfork, which is quite what you’d expect from a Rusko tune, a fair bit of harmonic melody and a whomping amount of bass (really dig Amber Coffman’s voice *dirty projectors*). Rusko pretty much sculpted a perfect 10 model and Sub Focus took away her gag reflex. Dark. Moody. Sexy. Violent. I’m not mad with this fusion of dubstep x dnb. At all.
