Cypress Hill x Rusko "Roll It, Light It"

Great visuals, shame about the song.

Taken from the forthcoming Cypress X Rusko EP, which is due out in April.

DJ Cable & DJ Hotpoint Present: "UK Garage 2011"

It's been a while since DJ Hotpoint and I have collaborated on a mixtape, and since Garage music has recently made a strong return to UK dancefloors, we thought it'd be a great opportunity to fire up Serato and record a mix.

Having both grown up during the scene's peak (I'm from Essex; Hotpoint is from Croydon), we were there to appreciate UK Garage first time around; fast-forward to 2011, and the sound is still as fresh and exciting as it was back then.

The tracklisting below represents only a tiny selection of the ever-evolving scene. Whilst we wanted to dig deep into our digital record crates and pull out a whole bunch of great material from the likes of SBTRKT, Submerse, Burial, Sully, Falty DL, Whistla and more, we decided to go with a bunch of tunes that are not only accessible to the average clubber, but have also been staple tunes in both our sets.

DJ Cable - Rusko Video Mix

The video mixes continue...

This time, Rusko gets the visual treatment.

Rusko's thoughts on "Brostep"

Big up to Rusko for saying what a lot of people within the scene are thinking right now.

My opinion - If certain labels/DJs/journalists actually started exercising a lot more quality control, we wouldn't be having to deal with noisy crap. Don't get me wrong, my taste in Dubstep is really varied, and I love a lot of jump up tunes, but it really has gone too far.

Rant over; back to our regular programming.

Overall, a varied selection of different styles in this mix.

Feel free to forward to your friends, post on your Blogs/Twitter/Facebook profiles, etc. Let me know what you think!

P.S. The mix is now back on Usershare, as apparently some people don't understand how to "right click and save as". I dunno...

Rusko Feat. Amber Coffman "Hold On" (Music Video)

Well shot.

I prefer the Sub Focus remix to be honest, but this is still a pretty big tune. Definitely goes off at the student raves...

DJ Cable - May 2010 Podcast

I know it's a week late, but here's my monthly roundup for May 2010.

Once again, massive thanks to everyone who's been downloading the podcasts. I've decided to switch things up by not having a vocal introduction anymore...Now you can comfortably rock this on your iPod without having to hear my monotone voice, haha!

So...This month's mix has more of a Hip Hop/Electronica selection, although there is a nice slice of Dubstep & Grime towards the end, packed with new tunes from House Shoes, Busta Rhymes, Sean Price, T.I., Rusko, Noisia, Guilty Simpson, Rude Kid and Mark Instinct...plus some exclusive heat from Mz. Bratt, Dream McLean, Macca and I.D.

Chali 2na "Gadget Go Go"

Some of you will know the barritone-voiced Chali 2na from legendary Hip Hop outfit Jurassic 5, as well as the band Ozomatli. This is the first leak from his new album (due out later this year on Deacon), and I was pretty surprised to find out that this has been produced by the one and only Rusko

DOWNLOAD

The production is pretty much standard Dubstep club fodder as you'd expect from Rusko, however Chali rides the beat well, switching up his flow to match the LFO rate... Overall, worth checking out.

Rusko "Da Cali Anthem"

This has been tearing up dancefloors for a while now, luckily those kind folks at Mad Decent have put up Rusko's feel-good Dubstep anthem for free download...

DOWNLOAD

Rusko's debut album "O.M.G!" will be dropping in May 2010, with features from Amber Coffman, Rod Azlan, Redlight, Ben Westbeech, Crookers, and Gucci Mane...

BONUS! Here's the "Woo Boost" music video:

Caspa & Rusko @ Po Na Na tomorrow!

Another spot of shameless self-promo for you all...

I'll be supporting Dubstep dons Caspa & Rusko at Po Na Na (best club name ever?) in Norwich tomorrow night. Expect a little mish mash of UKG, Grime, Dubstep, B-more & D&B from yours truly...If you're in the area, pop down and say hello!

Mishka Presents: Keep Watch Vol. 12 - Rusko

The 12th installment of Mishka's "Keep Watch" mixtape series comes from the one like Rusko. Whether you're a fan or not (I know some purists like to have a rant!), you can't deny some of the heat that's featured in this mix...Definitely worth copping...

Caspa & Rusko "Power Shower"

Brand new bass-driven filth from two of the biggest players in the Dubstep scene...the drop on this is abosutely disgusting...

Don't sleep...

Props to Khal for the heads up.
