After graduating from Leeds College of Music with a degree in Music Production, Rusko discovered the world of Dubstep through the Leeds club night Subdub and a debut appearance from the Digital Mystikz. Having spent the past 10 years making future dub alongside Leeds very own Iration Steppas, Rusko connected with the sound and moved down to London to further advance his musical opportunities with Sub Soldiers label mate Caspa.
Veering away from the dark, serious side of the sound Rusko brought a highly driven energy and fun approach to the dubstep massive and quickly coined his own take on the genre and turned the scene upside down. His sound appealed to many people outside of the dubstep world as his productions became more adventurous in formula, sound and energy. His huge hit Cockney Thug has been played by everyone from Pete Tong, Switch, Diplo and Santogold, and has been remixed by Buraka Som Sistema, Diplo, Caspa, Drop the Lime and the Scratch Perverts.
Now at 25, Rusko is only in first gear, with collaborations on the table with the likes of Switch, Diplo , Yo Majesty and Wiley, the future sure is looking bright. Already setting the radio airwaves alight with his own productions and remixes of artists like Adele and A-Trak featuring Kid Sister, Rusko is headed in the right directions. Onwards, upwards and far beyond what most producers can dream of. Rusko's debut album, O.M.G.! will be released May 4, 2010 on Mad Decent.
2) Rusko was punk band from Czechoslovakia (1992). Frontman Filip Venclík was murdered by neonazi-skinhead in 1993.

You keep me lonely on purpose, now my tears on the surface, after saying goodbye)
I'm alone but it's all right, cause you're not the one left alone
But it's all right cause you're not the one.
We're getting rid of the pressure, wo oh wow (x2)
We're getting rid of the pressure, it feels so right, dont need it no more.
How can it be I deserve this?
You keep me lonely on purpose, now my tears on the surface, after saying goodbye
But it's all right cause you're not the one.
We're getting rid of the pressure, wo oh wow (x2)
We're getting rid of the pressure, it feels so right, dont need it no more.
(Yeah) (x2)
We're getting rid of the pressure. (x2)
(SCANNING)
I'm alone (x2)
(Garbled)
We're getting rid of the pressure. (x4)
After saying goodbye
I'm alone but it''s all right, cause you're not the one left alone
But it's all right cause you're not the one.
We're getting rid of the pressure, wo oh wow (x2)
We're getting rid of the pressure, it feels so right, dont need it no more.
Rusko's song Pressure carries a deeply emotional and introspective tone as the lyrics touch upon themes such as loneliness, heartbreak, and overcoming emotional burden. The lyrics touch upon the singer's feelings of undeservingness as they question why they deserve to feel so lonely, leading them to become emotional and even cry as they come face to face with their pain. The lyrics also suggest that the person responsible for their pain may have purposefully kept them lonely before saying goodbye, indicating a betrayal of trust that has left the singer feeling lonely and isolated.
Despite these feelings of immense pain, the singer tries to reassure themselves that being alone is not so bad because the person they're missing is also not present. However, this declaration appears to be more for show than for actual resolve, as the lyrics suggest deeper emotional pain that still lingers. The chorus is a defiant declaration of breaking free from the pressure of loneliness and hurt, emphasizing the idea of letting go of pent up emotions and moving on from pain that was slowly suffocating.
All in all, the lyrics of Rusko's song Pressure are a poignant exploration of heartbreak, vulnerability, and the process of letting go of emotional baggage. Through introspection and reflection, the singer comes to understand that sometimes, the best way to overcome pain is to acknowledge it, let it out and move on, demonstrating a strong resilience and an optimistic outlook.
