Saturday: New Rusko

The funny thing about having been to several of these already is that I know he's gonna yell "D.C.! This is the new shit!". This time it really is a new thing - still dubstep obviously, but with more synth and a sweet vocal track over some old school trancey stuffs. I like it.



It's reviewed here by the good folks at RCRD LBL who are probably doing this as their for-real jobs, hence they know what they're talking about, or at least sound like it:

“Everyday” takes the chirping line from the original—“the sun is shining everyday”—as a jumping off point, then quickly veers off the path, sculpting what sounds like a whole new song, but one that is at least in line with Rusko’s sentiment (which is very much wrapped up in the idea of perennial sunshine). In recent interviews, Rusko has admitted he’s abandoned the dark mood and distorted bass characterizing so much of dubstep in favor of more technical songwriting (key changes, bright melodies). Netsky’s makeover of Rusko excavates these latent skills in the young DJ, and the result is joyful.

I'm not sure whether "joyful" is the word I was gonna use, but I'm wicked psyched for the show Saturday at the 930 club.
