Dubstep would not be where it is today without Christopher Mercer, better known as Rusko. A true pioneer in the genre, Mercer brought dubstep to the mainstream way before it was known in North America, and has continued to grow with it for well over a decade. After a successful battle against cancer last year, Rusko has returned to adding his Midas touch to music this year, notably through a bouncy remix of Selena Gomez and Marshmello’s ‘Wolves’ and an electrifying five-track EP. To say goodbye to another phenomenal year, Mercer has blessed fans with one last single titled ‘Mr. Policeman’ to warm your hearts during the holiday season.
‘Mr. Policeman’ is the perfect embodiment of Rusko’s journey through dubstep. Kicking off the track with a reggae-inspired beat that was extremely popular in the early days of the genre, Rusko catches your attention in an instant. The beat is accentuated with fitting vocals and futuristic laser fills, before the British producer shoots listeners back a decade with the wobbliest of drops. Although nostalgic, ‘Mr. Policeman’ is equally refreshing, as the wobble king merges his early influences with a modern touch, providing us with a wavy musical experience. There’s no denying Rusko will always be one of the greats, and his latest track continues to prove why he is respected by the masses.
