Straight out of Scotland, Rustie is a veritable hodgepodge of dozens of musical genres from over the past 30 or 40 years: at one minute, it’s a flurry of disco symphony samples, the next, a peppering of golden age jazz alto-sax, followed by a dollop of early 80′s electronica and one-hit-wonder pop sounds (remember Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam?). Picture the inbred child of Al Dimeola, Gloria Gaynor, Tiffany, ABBA, and Steely Dan, after they all had an orgy (and an ugly one at that)– and Rustie is your man, re-birthing some of the more irreverent musical moments of the last few decades. Here’s a peek at his Warp Records set at Red Bull Music Academy Radio. If it gets too cute, at least he segues between genres with gunshots.
