Main Stage - Live at Notting Hill Carnival 2009

Rusko

Tempa, Dub Police, London

Rusko loves Dub music. Growing up in Leeds, Dub was the sound of the streets. While London stepped it's two feet to Garage tunes, up norht it was still the bass-heavy and meditating Reggae groove that set the pace. During his visitis to the mighty Iration Steppas' record store, young Rusko was being teached the secrets of a proper Dub technique and going out the the even mightier "Sub Dub" nights, where he also experienced Digital Mystikz for the first time. soon after his Dub was followed by a "step" and while still being in love with the roots and also the Hip Hop side of things, Rusko made a move to London and a name for himself in this bubbling scene. Meeting Caspa and realising that both bwoys carry the same bag of records around, their mutual love of Dub, Reggae, Drum'n'Bass and Hip Hop, forged them together as a team. Since then the charming duo produced for a range of labels, including Skream's Tempa and Caspa's Dub Police. Always on the funny side of things, they lighten the load Dubstep sometimes carries on its own back. This is bass music!
