Since the return of Rusko in late 2017, we’ve seen a string of releases that show an artist that has truly evolved. It began with Rusko’s massive Has Made 5 More Songs EP on Circus Records, and more recently has culminated a few releases on Deadbeats including his EP MEGAGARAD. This time the UK dub legend gives us a more varied and intriguing side of Rusko with the Genghis Danger EP. This project touches on genres like drum and bass and even future bass, showing us that Rusko has no limits.
Beginning with ‘Go Up,’ the project sets the tone immediately as something different than what we’re accustomed to seeing from Rusko. Aside from the enticing vocals layered throughout the track, Rusko’s take on future bass is combined with his traditional impeccable sound design on the low-end while also toying with beautiful enchanting synths on the high-end. Moving onto ‘One Family’ which is packed with interesting drum-fills throughout the intro and breakdowns, while the drops are filled with grimy contrasting synths which play the melody. ‘oh my god’ is Rusko’s brilliant take on drum and bass, filled with interesting sounds and menacing lowsm this track adds a welcomed change in pace to the project. Finishing with ‘Bumbaclat’ this one is infused with elements of dancehall, giving it a distinct Rusko riddim sound. Check this out below!
