Rusted Rhythms Vol. 51 - Lusine [Submersion Edition]

With a decades-spanning career and carefully curated catalog of original compositions, Lusine has remained tapped into the center of eclectic electronic productions since the early adolescence of various contemporary styles. Brandishing a diligent focus on melody and syncopation, his works have been both influential to rising producers and composers, and infectious on-stage beneath the spotlight. In anticipation of his performance at the Submersion Festival this fall, The Rust and Submersion are incredibly excited to present an hour-long Lusine DJ mix as the 51st edition of our Rusted Rhythms mix series.

In classic Lusine fashion, there's no hard anchor to any rhythm, mode, or motif; weaving seamlessly through both broken and steady beat tracks, there's a clear upward slope to the gradual change in energy and pace. Starting from the ground floor, choice downtempo and trip-hop oriented offerings slowly ebb into faster, sleeker rhythms, dipping back and forth between organic and synthetic timbres. The entire mix is laden with goods from a slew of top-notch creatives, including Weval, Dorian Concept, Ole Beige, and Ross with Friends, bringing numerous disciplines of electronic music under one sumptuous roof. Whether you're looking to get acquainted with this soft-spoken veteran's domain of sound, or just keeping the anticipation growing for his first East Coast performance of 2022, look no further than Rusted Rhythms Vol. 51.

Rusted Rhythms Vol. 50 - Nestra [Live From The Brooklyn Mirage]

Soaring into Brooklyn at terminal velocity from the Mile High City of Denver, Nestra's performance at BK Mirage landed in the dead center of a 12 hour marathon cutting-edge dance floor music. Known as an impeccable selector and DJ in her home city, it's no surprise that she hit the decks with extreme prejudice. After being boots on the ground ourselves for the ensuing frenzy, we're incredibly excited to host Nestra's recorded set in posterity as the 50th edition of Rusted Rhythms.

Stepping squarely out of the boundaries of her contemporaries sharing the stage, Nestra's hour in the spotlight featured a whiplash cocktail of breakbeat, house, and a dash of psybient attitude. The frenetic rhythms and the driving low end featured throughout the mix come from a deep well of talent, including the likes of Nikki Nair, Guau, and Sam Binga, with each track burning serious rubber out of each successive transition. For beat freaks in the mood for a percussive hailstorm with moxie to boot, look no further than Rusted Rhythms Vol. 50.

Rusted Rhythms Vol. 42 - Okeh Bosque

Amidst the sea of contemporary platforms for eclectic electronic music, VALE and Forest Biz maintain a steady position at the forefront of the pack. Both entities have spent the last several years in service of especially fluid styles, showcasing a brazen form of creativity bereft of boundaries; everything from Garage to Neuro, Trip-hop to Glitch-hop, organic to synthesized, and every flavor and texture in between.

With such clear parallels between both labels, it should come as no surprise that a faceless concept act by the name of Okeh Bosque is a collaborative project between them, showcasing not just the novel individuality of each respective catalog, but going the distance to educate rhythm junkies on the complexities of high-powered, matrixed bass music mixes. In celebration of this newly minted bridge between contemporary operations, The Rust is excited to present Rusted Rhythms Vol. 42, curated by the Okeh Bosque duo. For fans of either label and appreciators of cutting-edge electronic music, this edition of Rusted Rhythms should be priority number one on your evolving listening list.
