Living in California certainly has its perks. For Rusko, the once Leeds based producer, it means access to the world’s biggest music outlets and collaboration with famous vocalists and heads behind the buttons. Now being offered production duties for Britney Spears and playing Traktor sets to kids like this, the shaggy-headed man has certainly had to compromise for his success. Most recently, a free pack of 2005 Ruskizzlington beats came through the twitter pipeline much to my delight. This one is for those who’ve watched the above video and bigged-up Rusko way before he was in high-demand.

Rusko – Gully Flute

Rusko – The Lost Dubs Part 1 (Mediafire)

Giant remix of Rusko by Sub Focus. Not gonna say much more. This song is going to be on your recently played for a while. OMG drops Tuesday, I know I’ll be buying it.

Rusko – Hold On (feat. Amber Coffman) (Sub Focus Remix)

Rusko throwing down at HARD NYC 2009

I try not to be one of those people who freaks out every time an artist they like comes out with a new remix or song and like it simply because it’s something new, so when I first heard this song, I tried to be as unbiased as possible.  I, personally, still love Rusko.  But recently, over the last 6 months or so (or not so recently and I just had my head in the sand for a long time), his popularity has shifted to either loving him or hating him, it seems.  ”Hold On,” I’ll admit, wasn’t my favorite, but I haven’t forgotten how this man’s music can get me moving.  OMG, his debut album, is set for release on May 10 (last I checked, that is, these things change so much), and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t very excited.  I really enjoy this remix, and remember him playing it at UMF, and it got the place moving right along.  Definitely on a funkier/groovy tip, but he certainly adds a good dose of bass that gets me just right.  Check it out, probably a lot will hate it, and many will love it.

Subfocus – Splash ft. Coco (Rusko Remix)

Alternative ‘Woo Boost’ video. Huh?

Finally! Been waiting for this song for a minute and a half. Dubstep giant, Rusko just released his massive banger Da Cali Anthem on Mad decent for free. Ever since I heard this on Rusko’s keep watch mix for mishka, I’ve contemplated going John Mcclain on Motherfuckas to get it. This song truly is an anthem and I have no doubts in my mind that it’ll make it to my most played song in a few days. And for all of you guys out in Miami next week, you can catch this man (and many others) tearing it up at Ultra. I for one will be cheesing my balls off. Enjoy!

Rusko – Da Cali Anthem

I always hate when I hear a giant track in someone’s set only to realize that, more likely than not, I may never figure out just what it was. Rusko finished up his set at Hard NYC with a few giant dnb tracks that absolutely wrecked the joint. I was lucky enough to have found one of them thanks to dubjunks via Macgregor (thanks again to both of you). Check out this giant track from Simon Bassline Smith and Drumsound, it’s biiiigness.

Simon Bassline Smith and Drumsound – R U Ready (Original Mix)

This one has been played by all the major heavy dubstep guys for a few weeks, and I’m so happy it’s forthcoming Dub Police. God bless Rusko for playing this on his new monthly BBC1Xtra show, I know myself (,Brookah,) and Orpheus are feelin’ it. Thank you, Doctor P, for some true wig-out bizness.

(Thank you Orpheus for filming this)

Along with Orpheus and Macgregor I was just in New York, New York to witness a crazy ass show. In one night we saw Jack Beats along with Crookers, Major Lazer, Rusko, and Destructo at Hard NYC (what a fucking lineup, NYC holler). Shit was crazy, can’t even describe it. We’ll have a post coming up with our favorite tracks from the show but until then we’ve got some Jack Beats goodness to hold you over. Jack Beats just did a guest mix for Kissy Sell Out on Radio 1 and damn it is huge. It’s got a lot of their upcoming bangers as well as one of my most desired upcoming tracks, Lee Mortimer and Laidback Luke‘s ‘Blau’ (rip from a previous post). Check the mix out and see the bangers that Jack Beats has coming up for all of us (thanks trashcanpunch for the tip).  If you have any of these tracks besides the obvious ones hit us up with em, they’re all huge. Tracklist after the jump.

This song just blew out my iPod headphones. Lazy, lingering puffs of 808 bass introduce a hades-deep sub that will send you into a rage. Tempa T‘s violent lyrics, some of which include robbing children of their toys, won’t help preventing that either. Plastician is a dubstep legend basically, one of the most respected in the game, and that status is firmly cemented with work like this. Such a raw feel in this tune, reminds me something Dizzee would do from the days of Boy in da Corner (my fav album ever). If you caught it, this track was featured in Rusko‘s mix for excellent mix for Mishka. I’m also throwing up the instrumental to see if any MCs wanna jump on it and send us your verse, would love to hear it. You can catch Tempa‘s full length at any good download store, and if you’re from the UK you know the deal about Plastician live, check the space for dates.

Tempa T – Next Hype (Plastician Remix)

Tempa T – Next Hype (Plastician Instrumental)

Right, found these Skream track rips from Rusko’s essential mix and naturally became very excited.  Bad quality as they are definitely rips, but so huge all the same.  This inspired me to post an additional rip.  And for good measure a sweet track that will be released in proper 320 soon.  Here are the Skream tracks first.

Skream – Wonky (192 rip)

Skream – Meta-Lick (192 rip)

This next one is a huge track I’ve been lookin’ for since I heard his essential mix.  Rusko has an arsenal of tracks, and I’m begging for this one to get released proper.  Check it out

Rusko – Do U Wanna Have a Party? (192 rip)

And here is a sick tune from the one and only Cookie Monsta.

Cookie Monsta – Optimus Prime (192)

And now some proper quality excellence.  The first is a fresh submission from Tek-One, who has made some explosive songs of late.  The second is some more 16bit filth.  Not as abrasive as Chainsaw Caligraphy, but this’ll getcha.

Tek-One – Hate You (320)

Skism – The Blank (16Bit Remix) (320)

Funnily enough, these artists all reside in the UK.  Cool beans, enjoy.
