rusko // kapow ep

dubstep/bass/glitch artist extraordinaire rusko (christopher mercer) has a thing for turning out bangin’ music. you know, the kind of music that’ll make your trunk rattle off the hinges. with his latest release the ‘kapow ep’ rusko is creating a veritable feeding frenzy by giving it away as a free download. and although this is only a four-track release each song sounds much bigger and badder than the sum of their individual parts. (1. yeah 2. booyakasha 3. bring it back 4. like this) each one is a certified keeper. crank ’em loud and enjoy. peace. Continue reading “rusko // kapow ep”

chrome sparks // marijuana

I am always amazed by the skill of this up and coming creative force Jeremy Malvin better known in certain circles as Chrome Sparks. He’s a young loin from Ann Arbor, Michigan with talent galore. I’ve written about him before, and now with his latest, “Marijuana” prepare to be totally blissed-out with the unofficial video directed by the vigilante cinematographer David Burkhart. The song “Marijuana” is taken from the latest BRL MTN compilation AAURAL II. Peace. Continue reading “chrome sparks // marijuana”

chrome sparks | still sleeping | ft. steffaloo


 
According to Jeremy Malvin, bka as Chrome Sparks, life at the moment has its positives which include the following: His age, he’s barely into his 20’s. He’s a student, presently matriculating at the University of Michigan (Go Blue!). And lastly, his above average height, which I’m guessing is just over 6 foot (182.9 cm for those into metrics). Call it an unflagging modesty, but he failed to mention his ability to make astounding futurian-worthy music, seemingly out of thin air. For someone so young he is making quite a name for himself, both inside and outside of his Michigan, by way of Fort Duquesne environs (hidden history lesson). When he’s not deeply submerged in sub-space rearranging molecules into dreamy soundscapes, he’s moving crowds as DJ Professor Purple at local haunts like Necto. Also, he’s fresh from a Chicago date having shared the bill with Theophilus London. He’ll soon be sharing the limelight with Diplo protégé Rusko at Ann Arbors’ Necto. And for those lucky locals they’ll catch him with Nightlife and Alexis at Woodruff’s in Ypsilanti this Wednesday night! And be on the look see for Chrome Sparks forthcoming EP Surface Glows, no date as of yet, but rest assured I’ll keep you posted. Peace.

Rusko – Someone To Love (Video)

He may not part the crowds like Moses parted the Red Sea but he get’s ’em onto the dance floor and out of their seats. Not bad for a bloke from Leeds.

Dubstep agent provocateur and producer Christopher Mercer bka Rusko gives us something to groove to right where you stand. Check out the musical chaos theory of “Someone To Love.” This track is ready-made for a good time, even if you’re old enough to be an AARP member. Are you scratching your head? Don’t worry it’ll all make sense after you watch the video below. Peace. Continue reading “Rusko – Someone To Love (Video)”
