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.

Blending their own personal productions with material from the catalogs of Bwoy De Bhajan, Shapesift, Faelow, and other novel producers, this particular Rusted Rhythm is a prime vehicle for Entangled Mind and Metta's collaborative Friendz EP, as well as a number of unreleased Entangled Mind tracks just waiting to pulse out of speaker cones.
If you're looking for piping hot synthesis and top notch harmonic blends, look no further than Rusted Rhythms Vol. 35.
Rusted Rhythms Vol. 33 - COPYCATT
COPYCATT has been redefining production and engineering paradigms in bass music for the last four years and running. His obtuse, frequency-splitting textures and stylistic groove have been a constant inspiration for today’s incoming producers and audiophiles. For this edition of Rusted Rhythms, he’s graciously provided an exclusive mix of unreleased music from his growing stash.
COPYCATT has been redefining production and engineering paradigms in bass music for the last four years and running. His obtuse, frequency-splitting textures and stylistic groove have been a constant inspiration for today’s incoming producers and audiophiles. Through an abundance of online tutorials and streams, he’s made an indelible impact on the sound design and production processes favored by his contemporaries. On top of such a massive influence across the underground music spectrum, he’s in the prime of his life; at 22 years old, his music has travelled across continents and sound systems, spreading low-end gospel from sea to sea.
For this edition of Rusted Rhythms, he’s graciously provided an exclusive mix of unreleased music from his growing stash. It’s a brash, boisterous dive into potent bass lines and head-nod rhythms. Last week, we published an interview with COPYCATT as a companion piece to this Rusted Rhythms, talking about everything from perspective to writing processes. We encourage you to digest them in tandem, giving yourself an all encompassing dive into the COPYCATT experience.

For the 23rd installment of Rusted Rhythms, Sortof Vague and Vinja team up to present a hair-raising mix ripe with delicious vinyl cuts. Sam Whittingham (Sortof Vague), the man behind the decks, is a Colorado native with a keen ear for musical atmospheres. Vince Santora (Vinja), commanding the turntables, is a veteran rhythm curator. Together, their talents align into a mutagenic 45-minute melee. Weaving through drum and bass, half-time, and neuro formats, this mix is an appeal to the adrenaline junkie. The mixing itself is an art to behold. Each successive track and transition compliments not just the track it overtakes, but the sum of the extended musical journey. Honing in especially on bone-crushing bass lines, the tracklist features a brutal collaboration between Sortof Vague and Vinja, as well as cuts from NOISIA, DJ Madd, Metafloor, Detox Unit, and a host of other producers dug out from the deep wells of bass music. If you enjoy hearing cerebral soundmen slice sub-woofers in half, then you’ve surely found your next soundtrack with Rusted Rhythms Vol. 23.

Rusted Rhythms Vol. 19 - LOVEY
Rusted Rhythms is back with a well-blended collection of wild-eyed tunes from Israeli DJ LOVEY.
Rusted Rhythms is back with a well-blended collection of wild-eyed tunes from Israeli DJ LOVEY. This outlandish selection of tracks runs the gambit of emotions, at times manic and later soothing. The atmosphere is atypical, and the different textures and sounds would be difficult to juxtapose were it not for the creative mixing and selection of LOVEY. Dark and not altogether electronic vibes from the likes of Alon Mor and Fine Cut Bodies leer in the shadows, giving way only occasionally to more conventional beats. It's a great selection of sounds to safely lose your mind to, if only for an hour.
