Rustie’s BBC1 Essential Mix

Rustie premiered his Essential Mix Fri Apr 6 on the BBC Radio 1 show, one and only Pete Tong. The mix features a selection of Rap, UK bass, R&B and Trap-style House which Rustie smartly intermingles around his own twitchy, organic funk sounds.

From Rick Ross, Big Sean and Destiny’s Child the heavy hitters show up in larger-than-life style supplemented by  unreleased work from trend-setters like Hudson Mohawke, Lunice cleverly marked by this Zelda sample.

***There's definitely offensive language here. Mom and Dad, you may want to think of letting your kids listen to something else, right now.
