Rusko - Album

[blues and haikus]

pretty sure these are going on the new album:

[fractal]

you're on my mind is pretty sweet

[e99]

hehe, love it when a producer gets that plug in or synth or bit of equipment that allows them to emulate a classic sound like that...I know when I get my hands on a talkbox one day I'm basically going to do EVERYTHING through it.

Everything. Go to the shops and ask for king size rizla via the talkbox. Woo a woman using it. Etc.

release date?

[deadstock mind]

Diplo (guy behind Mad Decent) talking about it a couple days ago in TimeOut:

"We’re trying to finish this deal with Rusko to do an album on Mad Decent, too. He shares our aesthetic – kind of like, “Fuck you, too!” He’s the perfect dubstep guy because he sees that it’s bigger than just playing in basements. He doesn’t really care about purity; he just wants to have fun."

Damn. I feel really violated that it's being released on Mad Decent. And for those of you who aren't very familiar with the Mad Decent imprint, It's Diplo's mastermind of reggae/dancehall/jungle and latin/tribal, percussive heavy influence meets electro aesthetic and boasts artists such as Dip himself (Philly based) , L-Vis 1990, Drop The Lime, collabs such as MIA, Buraka Som Sistema, and the most-known Switch collab, birthing Major Lazer.
Mad Decent is not a very underground label compared to one as Sub Soldiers or Dub Police, where I was hoping Rusko's album would've been release on and apparently, he's not concerned for the purity of the genre, thus driving the eventual mainstream attention of it and Rusko =[.

Which may result in a douchey future Rusko... but

Mad Decent though?

[slugabed]

im feeling the sound of his recent stuff

[SickMan D]

Fair play Rusko

[morro_e]

though i consider most of his stuff to be shit, these 3 tracks up there make me wanna cop the album

[johnkimble]

''You're On My Mind Baby''

and the mr hudson (???) remix is also fine. i like his older ones more but his new sound is also surprisingly nice

TRACKLISTING FROM HIS TWITTER

pleased with the TL to be honest. couple of his good bangers on there like that jungly "kumon kumon" and a few others.

[mocsun23]

the 3 tracks a few post above are on POINTT, really diggin em, Rusko surprised me, i was expecting more..you know..Rusko-ish sounds HA! I actually can't wait for this album to drop. TL looks sick.

[1017_duck]

yeah I've been hearing that talkbox tune and your on my mind baby for a while now..really really like them. really hoping that talkbox tune is on the album with a different name.

I have faith in this album

[Steve_French]

[skimpi]

I think thats a very unfair approach to take, why should 'the purity of the genre' (whatever that means?) be a responsibility for rusko to carry on his shoulders?

this. if it only takes one person to ruin a genre, then it can't have been very strong to begin with. and why shouldn't rusko do what suits him best? why should he tailor his career to the views of people who just want dubstep to be only for the hipster cool kids or whatever?

[knivez]

cant wait for the album rusko has a more polished sound then before

[zonetrooper5]

To be fair im pretty interested what the tune with Flo-Rida is gonna sound like

I think this was the song with Flo-Rida in it or what I think sounds like Flo-Rida.

[collige]

Apparently, Da Cali Anthem is NOT going to be on the album seeing as it has just been released for free.

Cue the mass rinsing.

Mad Decent though?

I agree with all of this many times over. I'm probably the biggest Mad Decent detractor on the face of the earth and Diplo's one of the few musicians out there whose whole world view is so antithetical to mine that I'd probably deck him in the face on the spot...

...but the Rusko tunes haven't sounded that bad so far. I'm never putting money in their pockets, but I'll check it out. Even a broken clock is right twice a day (in this case: Rusko and JD Medhi).
