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.
Rusted Rhythms Vol. 41 - Lousy Anna A/V Mix
Music and visual art go together like chunky peanut butter and strawberry preserves, filling in the gaps and accentuating the flavors on both ends of the spectrum. Contemporary A/V mixes have quickly become one of the most accessible and distributed methods for engaging this multifaceted medium.. Denver resident Ashton Suire is showing off his skills as a connoisseur of dusty, boom-bap breaks and tightly composed beats through his Lousy Anna project. With releases across Subciety, all:Lo Collective, and Feyk Collective, he’s carved out a space for his brand of urbanized psychedelia.
For Rusted Rhythms Vol. 41, we tapped Lousy Anna to provide the next installment of the Rusted Rhythms A/V series. The mix itself is a stellar session of jazz flair and head-nod appreciation, featuring a threaded web of original tracks and selections from artists like mono massive and Black Rain. The visual compilation is a collage of colorful designs with mindful cinema; Alfred Hitchcock, Lone Ranger, and other monochromatic films of that era. The chopped rhythms appear to morph with the faces and bodies as they rotoscope and materialize, reaching back to the days of late night, acid-washed VH1 videos. From start to finish, it’s a choice journey across a range of fluid musical territories that’s sure to keep you locked in for the duration of Rusted Rhythms Vol. 41, premiering tonight at 8pm EDT.

Clocking in at an hour and eight minutes, it’s a full course meal with dessert included, but we’d expect nothing less from one of the vanguard purveyors of sound system music and culture. Be it through extreme variance in vibe, or zeroing in on a specific spectrum, dela Moon’s indelible ability to portray evolving sonic stories is the permanent mark of her career as a precision selector and curator, and Rusted Rhythms Vol. 37 lives up to her every benchmark.
Rusted Rhythms Vol. 36 - Chalky

From his own sultry guitar lines, to Seppa's braying saxophone leads, to Alicia Kiah's violin harmonies, the journey plays out like an intentional composition from start to finish, showcasing every strength of the Chalky catalog with an equal hand.
Chalky has spent the last two years voraciously picking up steam, releasing multiple collaborative albums with Slug Wife's Seppa (including the recently released "Strange Changes"), choice selections of individual works, and contributing a smashing performance for Volume 3 of the Featherbed Sessions. His signature blend of jazz, neo-soul, hip-hop, and peculiar sound design has a way of capturing the attention in a vice-grip; there are few occasions where his music won't slide right into the vibe like a skeleton key, and it's that undeniable vibe interpolation that makes Chalky's music so strikingly sensuous.

As one of Rezinate's resident selectors, he's at the nexus of forward-thinking electronic music in the New England area, and the indelible impact it has left on him is channeled through a mosaic of system-ready music and a thirst for intellectual revolution.
Presenting his debut "Philosopher Set" from the winter of 2020, Dual Natured merges rhythms and melodies in a smooth, interpolative journey through the scope of sound system music. From lush, spirited jazz by Kenny Burrell, to emulsified sub-weight from the catalogs of B9, and Jafu, Boisvert's exploration of emotive sound becomes a palate of immersive textures. Whether you're looking to relax or energize your headspace, we encourage you to reprise the Philosopher's journey with us in Rusted Rhythms vol. 34.

Rusted Rhythms Vol. 31 - Kodiak Kid
Born from his passion for turntablism and the art of DJing, Kodiak Kid’s sophisticated mixing skills and bold track selection are impossible to miss for the discerning listener. He tosses any style of music into his mixes, from reggae and hip-hop to mid-tempo, glitch, drum and bass and downtempo. On Rusted Rhythms Vol. 31, he mostly favors hip-hop, halftime bass, and the hard-hitting intersection between these two styles. It’s full of raw and highly relatable bars from a number of international emcees which then segue into alien bass frequencies.
Rusted Rhythms Vol. 31 comes all the way from down under in Melbourne, Australia courtesy of Kodiak Kid, a well-traveled DJ who is set to release his debut EP Drifting Status May 10. Although he’s never released original music - besides “To the Point”, the first single from the upcoming EP - Kodiak Kid’s reputation in the worldwide bass community is strong and getting stronger. The reason for this is two-fold. First, after coming into contact with many of the world’s best bass producers through his festival plays (Burning Man, Rainbow Serpent, Earth Frequency) and his role managing the Melbourne-based events company Whomp Music, folks have nothing but good things to say about him. Second, he consistently releases his DJ sets from these festivals, treating online audiences to several journeys down the rabbit hole.

Rusted Rhythms Vol. 30 - Mike Wallis
United Kingdom native Mike Wallis is best known as one half of Crunch with Tipper and one third of the rowdy, hip-hop heavy K.L.O project. During more than two-decades moving through the back streets of electronica, Wallis has released under “10 or 11” monikers. He also co-manages Colony Productions, an imprint that curates some of the world’s most prolific downtempo and glitch music. For this special thirtieth edition of Rusted Rhythms, Mike has prepared a “Colonization Mix”, one hour of selections from the Colony Productions catalog, spanning from 2001 to the present day.
United Kingdom native Mike Wallis is best known as one half of Crunch with Tipper and one third of the rowdy, hip-hop heavy K.L.O project, where he performs as Osmetic with Kursa & Lone Drum. During more than two-decades moving through the back streets of electronica, Wallis has released under “10 or 11” monikers and collaborated with dozens of producers. He also co-manages Colony Productions, an imprint that curates some of the world’s most prolific downtempo and glitch music from producers such as Vent, Kursa, Opiuo, Bogtrotter, and Dreamwalker.
Wallis began DJing at 15 years old and began producing at 18 in 1994. After releasing music as PSI SPY and Abstrakt Knights, a collaborative project with Sam Ashwell, he founded Colony Productions in 2001. Ashwell (a member of Vent) would join Mike in 2005 to co-manage the label. Primarily, Colony was created as a platform to release some of the first work from Crunch, a collaborative project with Mike’s childhood friend Dave Tipper. The minimal, textured and ambient Crunch sound served as a foundation for Colony. Over time, though the label came to embrace a broad spectrum of exploratory electronic music ranging from heavy and deranged to soft and blissful.
For this special thirtieth edition of Rusted Rhythms, this pioneer in broken beat electronica has prepared a “Colonization Mix”, one hour of selections from the Colony Productions catalog, spanning from 2001 to the present day. Colony has always been ahead of the curve, releasing work from Kursa and Duskky (now Seppa) in 2015, for example. From his lofty perch directing this label, and as a collaborator with some of electronic music’s most influential producers, Mike has been well-situated to witness the evolution of glitch-based music. By touring us through the Colony catalog in RR30, he enables listeners to bear witness to this evolution, too.
This mix also features a companion interview published in our Blog, where Mike discusses his musical journey and his first release as Osmetic, Lab Notes. This all comes ahead of Elements Lakewood Camping Festival on Memorial Day Weekend in Lakewood, Pennsylvania, where Mike Wallis will headline The Rust Music’s late night stage takeover (tickets).

Rusted Rhythms Vol. 29 - Gaddy
When Gaddy, pride of Houston, stepped to the decks for a Rusted Rhythm, he did something different; a one-hour all vinyl, all hip-hop mix featuring rare selections of wax from his personal collection. One could call this a refined historical tour, an ‘influences mix” for Gaddy. These rhythms and much of this drum work is foundational for his own bass-infused compositions.
Gaddy, pride of Houston, is taking a different approach to Rusted Rhythms and offering a one-hour all vinyl, all hip-hop mix featuring rare selections of wax from his personal collection. One could call this a historical musical tour or ‘influences mix” for Gaddy. These rhythms and this drum work is foundational for his own bass-infused compositions. Or one could simply call it some low down laid back G business. Both would be correct. Gaddy is a true archivist of hip-hop from generations past; G Funk, Erik Sermon, original chopped and screwed music, Lord Finesse, original west coast sound, Scarface. This mix has it all. Although it features mostly instrumentals, the mix concludes with some hard, insightful spoken word from Austin poet Poetic the Butcher. When you’re lost in the lean, grooving pockets Gaddy creates in this mix, just remember it’s all spun by hand on two turntables. Keep your eyes and ears on Gaddy, as one week from today on February 12th The Rust Music will have something special (and more current) to share from the foodtruck fugitive.

Jazz-infused 140 bpm system music has been monopolizing our attention for some time now. Philadelphia-based producer/DJ backpack is obsessed with the music, too, and for the 28th installment of Rusted Rhythms he’s strung together a one-hour mix full of this emerging left field sound. He displays a discerning ear for selecting the sound and a strong hand for mixing it. Selections include tracks from Chord Marauders residents Jafu and Geode, as well as a buffet of selections from the innovative Smallprint Recordings imprint based in Brighton, UK. In addition to these top-of-class choices, Rusted Rhythms Vol. 28 offers perhaps the largest amount of original backpack music existing in one place to date. Each cut is weighty and impressive, including collaborations with other Philadelphia-based producers wiseyoungfool and 5AM which represents stylistic fusions. It’s not all system music, though. Stick around until the end to hear backpack round out the mix in style with tunes rooted in hip-hop, including one true classic.

Rusted Rhythms Vol. 27 - pheel.
More so than in past iterations of his music, pheel’s contribution to Rusted Rhythms finds him playing with and leveraging the force of sub-bass. It’s a subtle force, as these things usually are with pheel. It’s in the nuance, the detail, and even at times in the silence that this producer truly speaks. This mix consists of all original music, runs for approximately one hour, and builds ever so gradually from beginning to end.
pheel. walks the line between hip-hop and electronic music with uncommon grace. It’s a thin and blurry line, for sure, but the New York-bred and Denver-based producer walks it like a tightrope.

Rusted Rhythms encourages participants to experiment. For its 26th installment, The Rust Music itself is stepping outside our comfort zone with this collection of upper bpm music from Philadelphia native and seasoned house producer/DJ Patrick Richards. Just in time for Halloween, this mix dives into danceable spooky darkness. Patrick Richards, whose real name is Patrick Monahan, is known regionally for energizing crowds with classic, uplifting house. He pulls from soul, funk and pop, grounds everything in an irresistible dance step and mixes it flawlessly. As such, this mix - full of deep techno, dark synthesizers, a bit of spacious breaks, and more tasty surprises - is a stylistic departure for Patrick Richards as well. He pulls it off with grace. There are some mystifying drops here that would turn a dancefloor upside down, and some pocket spaces that allow the mind to wander while the body buzzes back and forth on nimble feet. Happy Halloween everyone, here’s to trying something new.

Rusted Rhythms Vol. 25 - Face Plant
For the 25th edition of Rusted Rhythms, The Rust Music's resident Face Plant is channeling his ghoulish musings through the veil of Halloween. Jason Shepherd, the man behind the alias, is already noted for his penchant for all things spooky and far out. Elaborating on that supernatural infatuation, the tracklist for this mix is the ideal soundscape for All Hallow's Eve.
For the 25th edition of Rusted Rhythms, The Rust Music's resident Face Plant is channeling his ghoulish musings through the veil of Halloween. Jason Shepherd, the man behind the alias, is already noted for his penchant for all things spooky and far out. Elaborating on that supernatural infatuation, the tracklist for this mix is the ideal soundscape for All Hallow's Eve. Anchored throughout the mix are a slew of unreleased Face Plant goodies, showcasing his palette of nuclear-charged synthesis and generative sound design. Fat wobbles don't go out of style; they simply adapt, evolve, and become fatter wobbles, and Shepherd lives by this platitude. Beyond the Face Plant originals, the mix is littered with selectors from some of the more prolific names in electronically produced music, most notably Mr. Bill, Alon Mor, Culprate, and Ion Driver. Tapping from the well of hip-hop and it's pervasive spin-offs, the likes of Gramatik, Tab & Anitek, and Rasp 5 find their homes in this edition of Rusted Rhythms as well, complimenting what is already a hip-hop rhythmic focus. If you're trying to get alchemical this Halloween, here's your soundtrack. The witch's brew is stirred properly, the moon is radiating it's lurid glow, and Halloween is finally upon us. Stay spooky.

Rusted Rhythms Vol. 24 - Dillard
Rusted Rhythms are all about showcasing the beat to one’s personal drum, and Dillard spares no expense in taking us on a ride through his world of omnidirectional system music. Summoning the power and versatility of the 140bpm kingdom, this rocky mountain bruiser locks in a 50-minute long sub-weight melee.

Summoning the power and versatility of the 140bpm kingdom, this rocky mountain bruiser locks in a 50-minute long sub-weight melee. The enclosed Dillard productions and collaborations are a testament to the myriad musical aesthetics that he finds inspiration in. Featured amongst the list of selectors are the likes of Jafu, Substrata, Geode, Atyya, and Prophet, honoring the magnanimity of similar low-end veterans. This is an homage to the dungeon dwellers and nightcrawlers amongst us. Do not turn off your sound system until you’ve properly rinsed Rusted Rhythms 24.
