Dubstep legend Rusko made his much-anticipated return to release day with his first single in over two years, “Wassup,” which dropped via Monstercat on November 20. Despite the time between singles, Rusko has been anything but quiet. He’s spent the time lighting up stages worldwide, captivating fans with his high-energy antics and dance moves behind the decks.
This track arrives as the first single from his debut Monstercat EP, which is set to drop sometime next year. Nearly a decade ago, the UK-born DJ/producer kindly demanded the world wake the fuck up, and it did! Now he’s back to push even further and prove that the infamous UK sound that made him the icon he is today is still just as powerful.
Rusko shares, “‘Wassup’ was started last year on tour in Australia and ever since, has been a puzzle I couldn’t quite crack and get just right… but it’s always been stuck in my head. After adding ‘Wassup’ into my DJ sets, I had an earth-shattering break-through, and within the first couple of nights spinning the tune, it was finished!”
Renowned for pioneering a distinctive, unforgettable bass sound that’s influenced a wave of artists, “Wassup” delivers a fresh blend of his signature wonk fused with unstoppable drum and bass energy. He continues to be a unique buoy in a sea of generic bass music, as his versatility and personality continue to shine through.
Rusko is now preparing for an appearance at Zombie: Apocalypse in Los Angeles this Thanksgiving weekend and then another epic reunion with fellow bass icon Caspa at Mission Ballroom in Denver on the first Saturday of 2025. These two dubstep OGs will be keen to reunite after going b2b for the first time in eight years at Lost Lands this summer.
“Wassup” offers an exciting first look into his upcoming EP, promising to push his unique sound beyond. Listen to his new single from his upcoming album on streaming platforms today and be sure to follow his socials for all things Rusko!
