Rusko to tour in support of new album

Rusko’s new album, SONGS (Mad Decent/Downtown Records), which was released just yesterday, has already planted itself firmly at #1 on the iTunes Electronic chart in the USA, UK, Canada, France, Ireland and Holland! The eagerly anticipated follow up to his debut has been getting rave reviews across the globe from Rolling Stone US to the Guardian. At the center of the adventurous and exciting sound of SONGS is Rusko’s virtuosic ability to tackle and re-imagine a variety of genres. Lead single, “Somebody to Love”, has all the makings of an anthem with its instantly memorable chorus and a shape-shifting rhythm that is more infectious by the second. “Skanker” rockets you from Kingston to outer space with its 21st century take on dub and roots. “Dirty Sexy” is a sultry R&B track sure to make speakers pop worldwide. “Thunder” propels Hi-NRG to the future with an exhilarating melody that will leave you rapturous.

His debut, O.M.G.!, replete with his signature bone-rattling bass and anthemic melodies, was a critical and commercial hit that cemented him as one of the most exciting artists in modern dance music. His stream of massive singles includes “Woo Boost”, “Everyday”, “Hold On” which featured Amber from The Dirty Projectors, “Got Da Groove” which features Gucci Mane and “ Da Cali Anthem” which was the first dubstep track played on US radio. His live shows have been drawing rapturous crowds of thousands across the globe.

SONGSis a collection of masterful pop songs that will reach far beyond the dance floors. Rusko has created a body of work that encapsulates all the best elements of bass heavy music and infuses them with sublime melodies and a euphoric spirit.
