Rusko in brooklyn last night

[teqh]

rusko live is a complete joke, something inside me died when I saw him whip out the guitar at bloc. people need to stop booking this act and get him back djin again as opinions and tastes aside his dj sets are heavy heavy crowd pleasers.

This right here is the reason why it is excellent that Rusko is doing what he is doing. He could SO easily play the "heavy heavy crowd pleasers" that a certain section of fans demand, as he is a technically outstanding DJ with great rapport with his crowd etc, and rinse his in-the-moment celebrity for all it's worth with wobble anthem set after wobble anthem set. But he doesn't - he's chosen to do something else, and expand his potential, at the risk of alienating the people who just want to hear him do "stuff like that Fabric CD". He does far more than "just a laptop set" - I've listened to the recording of the Bloc set, and you can hear how he is reworking tracks, doing a proper live mix, dub style, and generally getting seriously involved with the performance. I hope he continues this, and continues expanding on it. So it might not be the most subtle or innovative production in the world compared to, say, Joker or Pinch or Shackleton - it doesn't have to be one or the other. ADVANCE IN ALL DIRECTIONS!

His DJ sets on this tour are longer than his Live sets...Is why Seattle got 1.5 hrs of a really good DJ set instead...Wanted to hear them fresh cutz!!!
