Rusko At Juno Download

Review: The follow up to Ramadanman's '07 release "Feeling Good", Rusko supplies the soundtrack to 2nd Drop's subsequent release, back before he departed to LA and started making the sing-a-long dubstep stories he composes now. "William H Tonkers" pairs gruelling bassline pressure with high pitched melody and whirring subs. "Roma" is a more stripped back walk in the park, with lilting, hip-shaking rhythms, punctuated only by purposeful drum kicks and a murmuring b-line. It's certainly got less force and frenetic abandon than newer Rusko material, but this is super sharp on every front. Recommended!

Review: The enfant terrible of the dubstep world provides us with another anthem which has been causing a ruckus in dancefloors from London to LA. The euphoric trance synths, bleepy SFX and distorted vocoder of "Everyday"'s intro prepares us for the smacking snares and jittery mid range wobbles which dominate the main tune. Remixes from Hospital poster boy Netsky (hands-in-the-air dancefloor D&B), DJ Q (smoothed out, syrupy funky) and Original Sin (sped up, turbo charged John B style tear out) complete the package. Not forgetting of course, "Lick The Lizard" (feat. Reso) which is fun and synth-driven frolics all the way. Enormous!
