Rusko Marks His Return with First Solo EP in Two Years ‘1 Man Army’

After nearly two decades of redefining electronic music’s boundaries, bass music pioneer Rusko emerges with his most audacious work yet, 1 Man Army. The 5-track EP marks the UK-based DJ and producer’s first solo venture in two years, serving as both a testament to his enduring influence and a bold declaration of artistic independence. Within this carefully crafted collection, Rusko captures the raw energy that first established his legendary status while pushing his sound into thrilling new territory.

“Creating this ep was a mission that began with a simple desire to explore more areas of my love for drum and bass. Over the past 19 years, I’ve been experimenting with new sounds, genres, and emotions — and this collection is a reflection of the vibes and feelings of this past year as Rusko.

From the groovy basslines of ‘Rubix Cube’ and ‘1 Man Army’ to the wonky melodies of ‘Bout Your Love’, I tried to keep the element of fun and hype at the forefront, as it has been throughout my musical projects; a colorful burst of hyperactive energy and melody that is the truest representation of my feelings through the last 12 months.” – Rusko

Born from his lifelong passion for drum & bass and meticulously shaped over the past year, 1 Man Army opens an electrifying new chapter in Rusko’s sonic evolution. The EP’s title track sets the stage with an expertly crafted fusion of pulsating basslines and Rusko’s signature melodic mastery. The momentum builds through the previously released singles “Wassup” and “Rubix Cube”, two explosive anthems that have already become crowd favorites, showcasing Rusko’s unmatched ability to merge experimental sound design with pure dancefloor euphoria.

The journey continues with “Bout Your Love”, a drum & bass masterpiece that demonstrates Rusko’s commanding grasp of the genre he helped shape, while infusing it with his characteristic boundless energy. Rounding out the EP, “Ganjaman” delivers a triumphant finale that embodies the collection’s core mission: delivering innovative, joy-filled electronic music that pushes creative boundaries while never losing sight of the dancefloor.
