Jackson Whalan & Rasp 5 - Time Dilation [Premiere]

Banding together to craft a head-splitting verbal melee, Jackson Whalan and Rasp 5 present “Time Dilation” featuring the production and musical prowess of B-Riddimz and scratches from Robbie Dude. For the headnodders, wave riders, and beat seekers, “Time Dilation” is the answer.

Banding together to craft a head-splitting verbal melee, Jackson Whalan and Rasp 5 present “Time Dilation” featuring the production and musical prowess of B-Riddimz and scratches from Robbie Dude. This firebrand quartet brings hip-hop into a bold and somewhat virgin territory. From the ground up, the track is a mixing marvel that boasts a fidelity often reserved for the instrumental side of electronic production. While Whalan and Rasp 5 are lyricists of a high calibre in their own right, combined they’re venomous. The beat behind the bars is far more than just a simple backbone. It offers high-processed bass synthesis rocking the downbeat of each measure, and salacious vinyl cuts and resampled vocal chops to slice up the back end of the tune. For the headnodders, wave riders, and beat seekers, “Time Dilation” is the answer. You can purchase the track here.

Amongst the growing list of boundary-breaking and charismatic producers, Sandy Finlayson’s Seppa project has remained a tenured and potent force at the very helm of the international bass music movement. Returning to the active listening rotation amidst an explosive revival of live music across much of the world, The Rust is proud to host the premiere of “Boosted”, the first single of the upcoming dual release package Boosted/Forked. As a companion piece to the “Boosted” premiere, we felt compelled to have a succinct dialogue with Seppa about his experience across the pandemic, his developments as an artist and a label head, and his own self perception in the face of his hard-earned success.

The Canadian producer-duo Intersect has spent the last 15 years separately and combined developing a wide-reaching reputation as curators of pure groove. In order to flesh out a larger understanding of the Intersect project, The Rust took advantage of a rare opportunity to speak with one half of the operation, Rahj Levinson, and explore the meaning of the dancefloor, Intersect’s time at the world renowned Shambhala festival, and growing up submerged in musical counterculture.
