20 for ‘15: Rusko
Everyone loves a good comeback. The best of the year came when Rusko and Caspa decided to sweep the cobwebs off their collab output and sideswipe the scene with their first joint jam in six painfully patient years. You can’t blame them, though, because a rebound of this magnitude should never be a rush job. “Blouse an Skirt” marked their big return, and has since left bassheads pulling at their hair in mind-blowing amazement.
It’s a reaction Rusko is probably used to by now, having built a legacy on putting floors into freak mode with his lower frequencies. While the dubstep don assures us there are more co-op burners with Caspa already in the can, we’re just going to have to keep this gem on rewind until they throw us another bone. In the meantime, let’s see how the year stacked up according to Rusko by diving into his 20 for ’15.
