On The Floor! - WARP/ED Session

Rustie

Warp, Glasgow

Glasgow's prodigal son Rustie has been creating some of the most mind boggling, genre straddling, electronic music of recent years. His tune "Jagz The Smack" was released on an unsuspecting public through fledgling Glasgow club Numbers' label Stuff Records and quite literally sent shockwaves through the electronic music scene, with everyone from Modeselektor to Flying Lotus, Anthony Shakir to Kode9 going absolutely crazy for it. Following that came his 'Spliff Dub' Remix of Zomby on Hyperdub - a dancefloor destroying bass machine - then 'Zig Zag' was released on Wireblock and was picked up as one of the fiercest, freshest tracks of 2008. Rustie marries the energy of hyphy and hip hop, with the low slung bass of dubstep while straddling the stuttering swagger of electronics and techno with the greatest of ease. The fact that he hails from the unlikely home of Glasgow along with his Numbers and Lucky Me counterparts and creates music often described as 'aquacrunk' only helps to add to the charm. With a slew of killer remixes in the pipeline and his new releases forthcoming on Warp Records, his future looks bright. This is an exclusive set Rustie put together for the WARP/ED session in Paris.
