Rusko Announces North American Tour Dates For September and October

Dubstep trailblazer Rusko has announced a month-long tour starting September 18th in Dallas, Texas and ending October 30th at the HARD Haunted Mansion. The UK-bred DJ released his debut album earlier this year, O.M.G.! on Mad Decent, which features dirty-south staple Gucci Mane, Amber Coffman of the Dirty Projectors, Rod Azlan, and more. His live set mixes these eclectic singers and rappers seamlessly through bass heavy dubstep beats. Rusko keeps one hand on his ear while keeping the crowd thoroughly engaged with his ecstatic stage presence.

Rusko is said to use only original material for his live sets, which isn’t hard to believe considering the long list of artists he’s worked with in the past including Caspa, Diplo, Santigold, Hot Chip and, most recently, production work on M.I.A.’s latest album. Although some samples are mixed into his set, one should expect a very original mix.

MAD DECENT ANNOUNCES NEW SIGNINGS FOR 2010!

strikeMad Decent has had a paramount year with releases from Diplo & Switch’s dancehall collaborationMajor Lazer, Dominican by way of the Bronx cumbia songstress Maluca, a Buraka Som Sistemaremix EP and more.

Garnering the cover of the Fader Music Issue, alongside features in Paste, XLR8R, Billboard, URB, Big Shot and Anthem, Mad Decent is preparing for their most challenging and exciting year to come with the announcement of three new signings: Rusko, Bosco Delrey and Popo.

Mad Decent will jumpstart spring with the first full-length release from UK dubstep phenom, Rusko. The North American debut, “OMG“, follows massive singles like Mr. Chips and Cockney Thug plus recent remixes for Kid Cudi, Basement Jaxx, Little Boots, The Prodigy, Kid Sister and tons more. It is slated for a March 2010 release and features new productions alongside collaborations with Crookers, Chali 2una and more.

After strong reception from their first 7″ release, ‘Kill Tonight‘, everyone’s favorite gigantic Pakistani three-some, Popo, will release their debut full length this spring on Mad Decent. The three Philadelphia brothers blend reverb-drenched garage with a youthful punk spirit to make loud, melodic washes of noise and pop. Ariel Rechtshaid, producer of the most recent Cass McCombs and We Are Scientists albums, will be contributing to the production roles.

A relatively unknown songwriter, Bosco Delrey, is the newest member of the Mad Decent collective of artists.  His unique version of rockabilly, dub and electronic music make him a likely candidate to join the Mad Decent family.  His music was brought to the attention of Diplo via Paul Devro (resident Mad Decent DJ) and friend 77Klash.  Bosco’s interpretation of Chuck Berry’s “Round and Round”tipped the scales and lead to signing him for a full length, slated for release in 2010.

Mad Decent will also be embarking on an evolution of their on-line space.  Bringing on writers, editors, artists and the like to expose news, music, culture, art and so forth via their website.  The undertaking has taken months but is a very exciting venture for the Mad Decent team.  Expect columns by Jason Musson of Too Black For BET, Skerrit Bwoy At The Movies, zombie fights and more.

You can also expect a retrospective of the Hollertronix series, where Diplo cut his teeth at the now seminal Philadelphia party thru a cadre of white label edits and mix records.

All of this will be started with an early 2010 release of a Mad Decent label compilation, featuring a retrospective of past favorites, unreleased remixes and brand new material from the roster.

If you thought 2009 was Mad Decent’s finest, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
