Rustie - Latitude 30, SXSW, Austin TX - March 15, 2013


[Scotland] I was happy to run across this because I was looking to shake up my tired old same old taste in music. A little thuggish looking hooligan in a sideways cap DJing and captivating the weird crowd – mainstream clubbers, nerdy musicheads... I totally didn’t get it. He’d keep it kind of low, pick things up, the crowd would nod along anticipating the payoff, and then applaud. And this exact pattern went on and on. I liked it – I just didn’t get the subculture. I’m pretty sure it was dubstep. There was variety in what he played, which I liked, but the way he strung it together didn’t totally make sense to me. He played a more rap-sounding loop and three guys by the bar cheered and jumped like it was their own track. I’m pretty sure I didn’t’ deserve to be at this show.
