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.
