Hailed as one of the pioneers of Dubstep, Chris Mercer – aka Rusko – once again proves why he is regarded as one of the most influential artists in the world of electronic music today as he releases his ground-breaking new EP <b>“!”</b> – out now via Universal/FMLY Records.</span></div> <div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> </span></div> <div align="center"> <b><a href="http://t.ymlp244.net/eqywwakaubqhwadausbalauuuhw/click.php" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">STREAM: “!” EP</span></a></b></div> <div> <b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> </span></b></div> <div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Since dropping ‘Sunshower’ – the first single to be taken from the EP – at the beginning of the month, the bass boss has been gradually teasing tracks, garnering support from music authorities such as <b>Rolling Stone, Mixmag, This Song Is Sick</b> and <b>Dancing Astronaut</b> as he goes.</span></div> <div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> </span></div> <div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Talking about his new sound, Rusko told <b>UKF:</b></span></div> <div> <b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> </span></b></div> <div> <i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">“It’s the first time I’ve sat down to write music that isn’t to DJ or to send to other DJs. There are no remixes, there are no guest vocals, no radio tracks, no collaborations. It’s straight up music within tempos that I have never used before.”</span></i></div> <div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> </span></div> <div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">On “!” Rusko demonstrates the musical diversity that has seen him remain at the top of his game throughout his illustrious career, creating a five-track genre-less sound exploration that is set to turn the world of bass on its head. Whether it’s the tropical trap tinged ‘<b>Sunshower</b>’, filthy funk of Drum n Bass banger ‘<b>Like A Boss</b>’, future bass cut ‘<b>Happy Chords</b>’, the ass-grinding ‘<b>My Style</b>’ or embarking on a video-game inspired trip for finale ‘<b>Rusko’s Theme</b>’, with “!” the prolific producer has ensured an explosive homecoming.</span></div> <div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> </span></div> <div align="center"> <b><a href="http://t.ymlp244.net/eqywqaoaubqhwaaausbaoauuuhw/click.php" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">BUY ON ITUNES: RUSKO “!” EP</span></a></b></div> <div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> </span></div> <div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">With headline dates across Europe throughout the summer, the recent announcement of a massive North American tour as well as the promise that this is the beginning of a host of new material the dub don is preparing to unleash: brace yourself, Rusko is just getting warmed up.</span></div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div align="center"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><b><i>!</i></b> <b>EP Tracklisting:</b></span></div> <div align="center"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">1.

It’s not house or techno either – I tried to create five fun tracks that fit into no genre, or maybe a whole new genre altogether! … And be prepared, this is only Vol.  1!’</i></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Testament to his unwavering perfectionism and infinite talent in the studio, “!” is the result of a year of sound exploration and is the perfect introduction to the inner mind of a dance music genius. A departure from his previous productions, with “!” Rusko has created a genre-defying combination of sound that is sure to shake up the electronic music scene.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">The opening track sees the production mastermind seamlessly fold bass-heavy harmonies into a funky Drum & Bass beat ‘<b>Like A Boss.</b>’ What follows is a mind-blowing array of sound – everything from glitzy drum-work and soaring synths in ‘<b>Sunshower</b>’, to the ass-grinding ‘<b>My Style</b>.’ Chilling things out with the bass-wave-riding ‘<b>Happy Chords</b>’, he guarantees a blasting finale with the unhinged videogame inspired bass-tastic ‘<b>Rusko Theme</b>’.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Since its premiere just 24 hours ago ‘Sunshower’ has already set the blogosphere alight.
