Timeboxed EP - Out Now on The Rust Music

Now That's What I Call GUNK - Out Now on The Rust

Epitome - The New Album, Out Soon

A collection of beats, ideas, feelings, and passing thoughts that I've accumulated over the past couple of years. Throw this on when you have some time to kill, or need a quick break. It's OK to get a little sidetracked every now and again.

With the new year comes a slew of new beginnings, and for Josh Kipersztok and David Westbom, that means unveiling the start of their new co-produced GUNK project. Josh is near and dear to us here at The Rust under his Smigonaut moniker, and David’s reputation precedes him as the mind behind Asteroids and Earthquakes, so it should come as no surprise that we’re incredibly excited to host the premier of their first minted EP for our 92nd release. Combining their creative talents to explore a frenetic new direction, the fruits of their efforts are bared full in Now That’s What I Call GUNK.

Brolic, energetic, and brackish where it counts, Now That’s What I Call GUNK is injection-molded for the dancefloor. Meaty bass lines meet dense, percussive breakdowns for a vibe that punches above its weight class. Searing synthesis takes the spotlight for the EP, with every track tearing through the mudpie of patches on the ingredient list. It’s an engaging and fresh take on upbeat Neuro Hop, bringing sound design back into vogue through bodacious groove and production finesse. Available wherever good tunes are found, Now That’s What I Call GUNK is sure to stay in rotation throughout 2025 and beyond.

Now That's What I Call Gunk

GUNK - Sewer Stomp

GUNK - Hoodie

I'm in a rut, and I know I'm not the
Only one
It's never enough, and it keeps on comin
It never stops

I'm on the run, and I don't even know what I'm
Running from, (or maybe I'm running towards)
Some new wave or new way to break through the Dark Age of Now
(And make amends with ourselves)


Take a look, it'll last for days
Memorize it till it slips away till its gone for good
Crack a smile, it'll be ok
Nothing to see if you look away but I never would

And I take a step away
From all the wreckage and I huddle by the warmth of the fire
By the warmth of your fire
And I know that times have changed
Doesn't mean we gotta turn away from the warmth of the fire
Our fire


Stop time, Don't mind if I do
Unwind, no other choice, otherwise we're doomed
So sigh, Don't mind if I do
Rewind, a foolish notion, if it ain't the truth


Left in the dust, and I know I'm not the
Only one
Try to adjust, but it keeps on comin
It never stops


And I take a step away
From all the wreckage and I huddle by the warmth of the fire
By the warmth of your fire
And I know that times have changed
Doesn't mean we gotta turn away from the warmth of the fire
Our fire

Stop time, Don't mind if I do
Unwind, no other choice, otherwise we're doomed
So sigh, Don't mind if I do
So slide, the only way around is through

Lyrics:

Slip inside this vibe for size, just give it a try 
Still dreaming
As I’m Twisting the skin of my arm
I started to get to know myself when my rhythm was off
i got Feelings involved, but those feelings evolved
I was cuttin for the bucket, had to give me a lob
I made a point, and an assist and the same damn time 
I made a hit, and threw a pitch to the same damn guy
I won’t tell you what to think, 
Ima let you decide
These Yes men, bobble heads, all fit in a box
I found me, that’s the key
I be Pickin the lock
With Smigonaut
Twistin nobs to a different notch
Permission or not
Commission or not
Consistently drop fire, it’s deliciously hot
I’m grab the mic and make it sizzle like I’m hittin a glob 
With this Position I got
Im everywhere, quantum superposition 
Through my vision I’m connecting the dots
Simultaneously existing in different spots
I’m defined my physics
With these rhymes I’m spittin 
Vibrating, as im
Timeline shifting 
They hatin while I just Mind my business
You decide your limit
As Im juggling the limes and the lemons life throws my way but I’m an alchemist 
From a higher dimension
Where time isn’t present (haha)
Welcome to your divine intervention

(Drop/chorus)

I’m back in it
I shattered the box I can’t fit in 
I’m dropping hooks like a tackle box, this cats fishin
Victory lappin before the victory happen 
They sit back and relax as I’m manifesting this planned vision 
That can’t finish 
Im dynamic 
As time passes, I fly past it 
Everyday is the climax of my passage way 
To the highest frequency I animate 
Can’t fathom where I’m headin, man,
I can’t wait
Done a few things that I can’t erase
Lost a few things that I can’t replace
Fuck It though now I have a more Expensive taste 
My intention and my quality they resonate
So.. everyday I gotta dedicate 
Take risks, Neva hesitate 
Make shit Generate (Ay)
Hope I answered some questions
Welcome to your divine intervention 

(Drop/chorus)
