Despite suffering a slipped disc while on tour, UK producer Rusko has had one of the busiest years of his career. The man responsible for turning Dubstep, well... happier, released his debut album O.M.G.!' less than a year ago. And two of his new songs, "Everyday" and "Lick the Lizard," have our fullest backing.
On "Everyday," arpeggiated synths and laser effects form the bed upon which Rusko loops the only vocal on the track: the optimistic phrase "The sun is shining every day." How dark can you get with a phrase like that? It's tracks like this one that have made the producer the de facto ambassador to bring Dubstep into the mainstream.
On the flip side, we're really hoping "Lick the Lizard" is not some perverse sex act (we investigated, but all we came up with was Lizard Lick, North Carolina) but regardless, this one is way less poppy than its cheerful brother "Everyday." This is the kind of track you throw on late into a house party when you want half the guests you didn't even want there in the first place to leave and the other half to stay and keep dancing. As Rusko says in the track below, his goal was to make something "hard with horrible noises." Mission accomplished, brother.
