Мишка Presents Keep Watch Vol. XII: Rusko!
STP’s favorite label Мишка (read : mischka) is NYC based street-wear label located in Brooklyn.
The label has been releasing installments of its
Keep Watch mix series roughly every month since July 2008.
The 12th installment was mixed by U.K. dubstep artist DJ Rusko.
It incorporates live tracks from his previous U.S. tour and includes tracks by Excision, Redlight, Jakes, Mr. Hudson, Caspa, Markomen, Tempa T, and Jaded Heart; also in the grab bag are old-schoolers Prodigy and Dire Straits.
Rusko’s unique mix of dark yet upbeat production fits the keep watch series of Мишка perfectly.

Christopher Mercer, aka Rusko was born in Leeds to a musical family.
Whether it be his family’s pianos, guitars, banjos and saxophones…or the heavy reggae and dub sound systems of later years in Leeds, music has always been an integral part of Rusko’s life.
After graduating from Leeds university with a degree in musical performance, Rusko discovered the world of Dubstep through Sub Dub, where he connected with the sound and moved down to London to further explore his passion.
His sound appealed to many people outside of the dubstep world as his productions became more adventurous in formula, sound and energy.
His sound continues to develop with different BPM’s that lean to jungle, house, hip hop or electro, either way, whatever BPM or tempo, you can immediately tell a Rusko track.
Collabs with the likes of Diplo, Wiley and remixes for A-Trak & Adele, Rusko is one to keep an eye on.
Onwards, upwards and far beyond any producer could dream of. Rusko is like Dr Dre, Timbaland and Switch all rolled into one with a serious overdose of bass.
