SMOG presents: Rustie @ SMOG Sundays 5/20/12 [Concert Review]

SMOG presents: Rustie [Warp Records] @ SMOG Sundays//Dim Mak Studios
Big ups and many thanks to Drew and everyone w/ the SMOG crew for their continued support + hospitality. By far some of the easiest + coolest cats to work with. We made the trek up to hollyhood on holiest of days, the Sabbath. For some it's a day of rest and for those like us it's a day to absorb and experience new music. We brought along our fellow alien artist travelers, Bass Commander + T'Challa Lee from the band Z, along with us so they too could experience this form of Bass music first hand...

If your in LA on Sunday May 20th, save that night for Smog Sunday because for one Rustie will be there and also Clicks & Whistles. Its so awesome to hear some Good North American dub music and not the same ole "wait for the drop kinda dub". There were two tracks that stood out for me in this podcast is "Lies" and "Secrets" (solid tunes).So that saying big ups to them and keep up the progress and be sure to check them out Sunday night and enjoy their podcast from Frite Nite.

Rustie - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix [Tour Dates + Upcoming Event]

Rustie : Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud : Purchase Glass Swords @ iTunes | Amazon | Bleep
Guess who's back? That's right. I am ;) To start this off we're going super crazy groovy bust your neck kind of beats with a melodic sense to sing your girlfriend to sleep. We've shared our great love for his music in the past and have shed some light on some of his favorite video game(s) [hint: Triforce]. If you've been sleeping under a rock in Hyrule it's time for you to wipe those eye boogers off your face and check out the one and only, Rustie. I can't believe I barely found out about his essential mix earlier tonight. I've been slacking on my Essential Mix game and it's because sometimes our personal RPGs take longer than planned to finish. His Essential Mix is that perfect blend of electronic dance music and what some may say is one of the current metamorphosis of hip hop. He lays down a thick layer of Rustie goodness and sprinkles in his favorite tracks from the likes of HudMo, Lone, Destinys Child, Dorian Concept, Bok Bok & L-vis 1990, Drake, and yes even some Danny Brown for good measure. It's a mix that will entertain the dance crazed 4 on the 4 floor crowd who's looking for bpms and rhythms that will excite. It'll even get those Dillaheads and Low End Theory kids boppin their heads. All in all it's the perfect edition for BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix and continues the tradition of dj mixes that raise the bar for djing, song selection, production, and just plain good fun music.

SMOG Sundays w/ UFO + Pablo Hassan + Dustmite + Hogwash + Kemst @ Dim Mak Studios [Upcoming Event + Future Dates]

 SMOG Sundays @ Dim Mak Studios | 21+ $5 w/ RSVP here
For the bass hungry look no further. SMOG has your Sundays covered. We here at Dank Radio are frequent attendees to SMOG's Dubtroit event down at The Observatory once a month and have yet to make the trek up to Dim Mak Studios for their SMOG Sunday events. Don't let this discourage your future decisions. The lower level frequencies at that venue will please any audiophile and their steady offering of BASS artists do not disappoint. And plus you can't beat a $5 show w/ RSVP.

Rustie - Sunburst EP

Rustie: Official | Facebook | Twitter | Purchase @ Juno | Beatport

G1ockz gave me the heads up about a week or so ago about this dude on Warp who sounds like HudMo but with more of an emphasis on crazy guitar solos and even crazier synth lines. I honestly didn't think it was possible. But then again, everything in this life cycle is possible.

So we pulled up his page on the Warp website and the first thing I see is this piece of album artwork that just jumps out at me. I thought it was something straight out of a Thundercats episode or some other cartoon tv show or video game from the 80s that G1ockz would of then proceeded to tell me about. If you're looking for groovy head bangin' hands in the air party with your good times until the sun rises and falls on repeat, get the EP. And if that's not enough to convince you Rustie still DJs w/ tables and he's even mixed his EP for your previewing pleasure...

Rustie - Sunburst EP Minimix (out 4/5 October on Warp Records) by Warp Records

And to further illustrate the awesomeness of this EP is the visual aid below staring Steve Martin and John Candy. I'm pretty sure this isn't the official video for Hyperthrust but they should use the same movie clips. Come to think of it that car spinning part reminds me of a crazy car crash story G1ockz told us about. And John Candy's dance moves look like something I did while i was watching Rusko at Abstract Fest last year.
