Rusko Dubstep Hiatus Announced

Veteran UK dubstep producer Rusko is taking an indefinite break. First, he announced his hiatus from all music and touring. On July 17, he posted a very honest statement on his social media.

Therefore, fans will not see him on stage anytime soon. “It became clear I was having a breakdown mentally,” Rusko wrote. Furthermore, he admitted he ignored his brain and body for far too long.

The Brutal Music Industry

Rusko is facing a tough reality today. In reality, the electronic music industry pushes artists to their absolute breaking points. Constant touring and intense pressure can easily destroy a person’s health.

Rusko previously survived severe stomach cancer in 2017. However, the pressure to keep working never truly stopped. He even released a brand new collaborative track called “Professor X” this past March.

Ultimately, his mind and body forced him to stop. He canceled all of his upcoming shows. Next, he must focus entirely on his own healing.

Support From Fellow Producers

Other artists quickly offered their support online. For example, many famous bass producers flooded his comments with love and praise.

Here are some of the supportive messages from his peers:

• Ravenscoon called him an all-time great.

• Levity said Rusko inspired their entire music scene.

• LSDream thanked him for his massive cultural contributions.

  What Happens Next?

  Rusko hopes to return to music one day. Currently, he cannot make any strict promises to his fans. He simply called this a “see ya later, alligator” instead of a final goodbye.
