New Rustie – “Boatsss”

At first, Rustie might come off as an odd choice of artist to contribute to a compilation benefitting children in southeast India. That being said, the Danny Brown collaborating, rave-loving Glaswegian producer recently contributed a track (with the help of Light of Love Children’s Choir) to the Everything Is New Campaign and his involvement suddenly makes a lot more sense. Without the social context, most would probably assume that “Boatsss” is just another massive Rustie cut (one that will inevitably be played into the ground), what with its churning snare rolls and brighter than thou layers of synth work. After all, music is universal and Rustie’s music is especially uplifting/undeniably bright. Maybe he’s just the perfect benefit concert artist for 2013.
