It’s no question dubstep has seen a resurgence of sorts in the last year. Leading this rise of popularity is English artist Rusko. The self-described “human bass tornado” has been making ridiculously huge songs influenced by the reggae and dub sounds of yore for awhile now. If you’re thinking a white kid from England making electronic-Jamaican-dub music is weird, then you probably don’t remember that that is exactly how Norman Cook (AKA Fatboy Slim) got his start.

His song “Jahovah” is the best example of what Rusko has to offer mixing the reggae sound with gigantic futuristic bass drops. If you’re in Toronto be sure to catch Rusko at Sound Academy on Jan 30th. Note: this isn’t your mother’s reggae.
