Rustie - Hyperthrust

Glasgow's prodigal son Rustie is the sound of the underground before the underground has even had a chance to get out of bed. Having battered his way into our ears and minds under his Voltaic moniker with celebrated releases on Glasgow label Point. One Recordings, Rustie has recently come out all guns blazing.

'Jagz The Smack' was released on an unsuspecting public through fledgling label Stuff Records and quite literally sent shockwaves through the Electronic Music scene, with everyone from Modeselektor to Flying Lotus, Anthony Shake Shakir to Alex Smoke going absolutely crazy for it. Rustie marries the energy of hyphy with the low slung bass of Dubstep while straddling the stuttering swagger of European electronica with the greatest of ease.

2008 has already seen further critically acclaimed releases on Stuff & Kode 9's Hyperdub label and remixes for Jahcoozi and Alex Smoke, with a remix also coming up for the legendary Warp Records.
