A foundational architect of dubstep’s first global wave, Rusko helped turn a genre once rooted in London’s underground into a worldwide phenomenon — and he did it with a grin, a wobble, and absolutely no regard for the rules. Born in Leeds and raised on rave culture, Rusko emerged in the late 2000s as a singular force with the smash single “Cockney Thug,” igniting dance floors and solidifying the wobble bass as an international signature.
Teaming up with fellow innovator Caspa, Rusko co-piloted the iconic Fabriclive 37 mix in 2007 — a release now recognized as a defining moment in dance music history. With landmark tracks like “Woo Boost,” “Hold On” (featuring Amber Coffman), and the genre-blurring albums O.M.G.! and SONGS, he built a sound that was at once heavy and euphoric — rave music for the mischief-makers.
A true studio chameleon, Rusko’s production credits include the majority of M.I.A.’s third album MAYA, and official remixes for Lady Gaga, Kid Cudi, and Kid Sister. He was also the first dubstep artist to break onto U.S. radio with his single “Cali Anthem.”
From the world’s biggest festival stages — Coachella, Ultra, EDC, Lollapalooza, and beyond — to underground sweatboxes across four continents, Rusko has always brought an infectious energy that refuses to be boxed in. His ethos? Make music that hits hard, feels good, and flips expectations on their head.
More than a decade in, Rusko remains a genre-bending icon — as joyful as he is raw, as experimental as he is essential. Whether through seismic basslines, rave piano vamps, or reggae-laced grooves, Rusko continues to move bodies and blow minds with every beat.
