Cockney thug-turned-LA superstar, Rusko is one of the first generation of uncompromising dubstep players who really capitalised the power of the swaggering halfstep and chest-rattling drop. Centre stage beckoned after his and Caspa’s Fabriclive 37 album set a blueprint for the scene and showcased his skank-packed, funk-flecked jams to the widest possible audience… Attracting various mainstream pop stars, who have since called upon him for production favours. Refusing to be pigeonholed, Rusko has explored myriad genre combinations via labels such as Mad Decent and, more recently, OWSLA.
