Rusko’s new album is going to be called OMG. I know it should really be all about the tunes, but the name is awful. If he’s trying to be cute, he’s only succeeded in making me feel sick. He may as well fuck his music career, log on to 1998 msn and ask a 14 year old girl ‘”a/s/l?” Jesus, ‘Woo Boost’ is a bag of shit too, it sounds exactly like ‘Mr. Chips’, what’s happening mate? I hope he’s taking the piss and changes OMG to You Must Be Skanky to Ride This…umm…or something good.
At least the podcast he did for Mad Decent the other day was tolerable, there’s a few interesting morsels tucked in there somewhere. For example, the fact that the album isn’t going to be purely dubstep and that some of it will stray into disco territory, that’s pretty intriguing right? Regardless, Rusko is a talented musician even if he does have a penchant for mid-range wobbly shit at times, so I’m optimistic that there will be a few decent tunes knocking about when OMG drops. For now though, we just have to make do with ‘Mr. Chips V2′…
I would have posted this yesterday but I was predisposed, it’s pretty hard trying to update your blog and defeat circus crime at the same time you know.
Still, Mad Decent have dropped a free mixtape in the name of currently incarcerated rapper Gucci Mane and it’s dripping with talent. Comprising remixes from Gucci’s The Cold War Mixtapes, there are contributions from Diplo (obviously), Flying Lotus, Mumdance, DZ, Zomby and host of other impressive producers, it’s all very exciting.
What’s that? You don’t like Diplo? Think of this mixtape as a w(rap) of smack; even if you think you won’t like it, you’re probably going to end up loving it.*
Israeli bass heavyweight Kalbata has knocked together this promo mix to gain some exposure for his latest release, Oh Gosh, which is out now on Botanika Records (BALUT004). Headed up by a nasty, sub-heavy a-side, which rolls forward in sporadic jerks like an unreliable bulldozer, the release also features an equally hefty 8-bit laden b-side in ‘Karl Butter’. Both tracks bear more than a passing resemblance to a hunk of electro that’s been through a meat grinder with a few bones of dubstep. But whatever the recipe, it all makes for a rather pleasing, if a little bloody, result.
As mentioned by Sabbo, who posted this up on Mad Decent, the mix crosses several genres “from dubstep to garage, old skool hardcore to Miami bass and reggae”, so it’s a pretty varied ride. Tracklisting after the jump. Enjoy.
