In order to pack a proper punch for Rusted Rhythms Vol. 46, we felt compelled to team up with Phydra for a rambunctious hour of Drum and Bass anthems and rollers. Head of the @Danktronics record label, and having been previously featured through The Rust with his track "Exposure", the pairing could hardly be more natural, and Phydra's exquisite dive into the DnB spectrum hits the mark several times over.

Maneuvering from bass weight to melodic fluidity and back again, the mix is awash with rapid transitions, crushing breakdowns, and smooth-cruising liquid fundamentals. With clear control over mixability and a powerful and eclectic mix of tunes, Phydra's command of his DnB experience betrays the time and effort put into laying out a fluid mix with such demonstrable skill, and if it sent us into a tizzy, it's liable to send old fans and new ears into a full on frenzy. 

Tracklist:
Shadow - Cracks
Proxima - Similitude
Mistrust - Hooked
Phace & Nuunshin - Idle
Scepticz - Bad Juju
Trex  - Same Difference

Rusted Rhythms

Rusted Rhythms Vol. 46 - Phydra

@shapesiftsound

Wielding a fierce arsenal of studiously updated sound design, production tricks, and fresh songwriting fundamentals, Shapesift has gone to ground redeveloping his palette and approach to his own growing catalog of original music. Now, he's connected those fundamental elements and developments through an intricate, multifaceted hour-long mix for The Rust's 47th volume of Rusted Rhythms.

Shapesift's journey through his own artistic development is an involved drama that reaches new heights with each successive track. Diving into the mix is an assured mainlining of both his compositional philosophy and his wide command over numerous rhythmic disciplines. Ranging from traditional downtempo and IDM slices, to steady-beat dancefloor blends, all the way to the scintilla-laden drum & bass overtures, Rusted Rhythms Vol. 47 is both astounding in its own right and an undeniably fresh showcase of Shapesift's latest and greatest musical machinations.

Shapesift - Habitual Lag

@zonrasounds
@jacksonhalemusic

Subverting compositional and design tropes each step of the way, the Zonra project has maintained a striking consistency in its escape from the norms of conventional electronic music. Straddled somewhere between the dance-centric sound of contemporary bass music producers and the aural experimentation developed by IDM pioneers, Jackson Hale achieves a stable balance between groove and intrigue with each subsequent release, moving that needle closer to either end whenever the need arises. In time-tested fashion, his latest LP is a work of beauty from every angle, and as such, The Rust is incredibly excited to premiere Time Is A Tool as our 61st label release.

Previous Zonra records have featured an amalgam of shredded synthesis, mean breakdowns, and carefully threaded melodic elements. Unsurprisingly, Hale flipped the script entirely for Time Is A Tool; The LP’s opening moments involve smooth harmonies egressing into smooth cadence, and that relationship carries on throughout each track. Choice waves of tension and release, told through the intentional splaying of tones and textures into glitched-out symphonies, creates a permeable catharsis within each fold of the record, slowly churning the listener towards the album’s zenith. Opting for slow, caressing tempos and chord phrases reminiscent of serene lullabies, the traditional throaty bass lines and hyper-compressed downbeats are put out to pasture in favor of a record filled to the brim with particularly intentional and resoundingly magical moments of introspection and rest. For those keen on finding their next sonic journey amidst a crowd with a dancefloor focus, Time Is A Tool is assuredly the album you’ve been searching for.

A kick, snare and killer bassline is all Gaddy needs to get the bodies moving. The young man from Austin, Texas by way of Houston knows these fundamental musical elements like the back of his hand. On Mixtape Mentality, a seven-track release that straddles the line between EP and LP, they serve as the foundation for experiments in groove. The common denominator is a steady head nod, and the rest is up for interpretation. 

Many musicians blur the line between what is and isn’t electronic music. Gaddy was unaware the line existed. As a musician, he’s rooted in archetypal American sounds like hip-hop, rock, and soul. Instrumental samples from guitar and keys are leveraged as much as synthesizers or sound design. Both are given enough space on Mixtape Mentality to mingle and form strong bonds with one another. Tastefully tuned sub-bass generates enough weight to flex sound systems and ignite dance floors. At the same time, elusive pads and smoke-filled arrangements create a relaxing swing to keep the atmosphere activated after the party’s over. 

Gaddy’s released a string of EPs and singles before with labels relevant to the underground electronic sound. But now there’s no more messing about. His creative energy is focused singularly on expanding the groove. He’s in a mixtape mentality and everything is fair game as long as it starts with a sidewalk-stomping beat.
