Rob Da Bank & Friends - RUSKO - top 40 dubstep tracks ever!!


Rob Da Bank & Friends - Rusko top40 dubstep tunes


THIS MIX IS A MUST FOR ANY DUBSTEP FAN AND AN ULTIMATE TOOL FOR CONVERTING YOUR FRIENDS TO DUBSTEP. TRUST MY WERD!

I have been drifting on an off dubstep recently, being a bit irritated and tired of formulaic patterns into which the genre seemed to be skidding (at least partially) or not very satisfied with techno/minimal oriented direction chosen by many new prodcuers. But this show just brought back lots of memories and restored the faith in sub-bass meditations and once again proved how diverse the thing broadly (probably now too broadly) called 'dubstep' was and still is! Especially, if you look at all thos sub-genres spining off from dubstep or quite successful mergers of dubstep with other bass-heavy styles (like glitch-hop, skwee or similar).

A history of 140 bpm bass music in a nutshell, in the form of 40 best dubstep tracks ever (with obvious omissions), is presented by none other than "hollywood man" Rusko. I'm not a big fan of his recent wobble remixes and productions, though some of them work quite well on the dancefloor and he definitely has good DJing skills. One thing is certain, he's a nice guy and a very good companion for conversations. Rob and Rusko do exactly this - they chat about music, producers, records, exposing some known or less known facts from well - who could have believed a few years ago - the HISTORY of dubstep. And you know what? They are quite entertaining and when merged with all these bass-heavy anthems they play - definitely one of the best shows I've heard in my life.

Ultimated tool for Dubstep 101 course and conversion of unfaithful souls.

I don't need to say anything about the actual contents of top-40.
