    He sure knokws what he's talking about....I'm impressed by his EQing skills and knowledge in general...really inspirational, You don't need a $50.000 studio if you want to make music, just the skills and the "I really wanna do this" attitude...
    I've never liked dubstep, but now...I think I like IT! =D

    Fat boy slim used a Amiga 500 to sequence samples from floppy disks right up untill resently. If your producing formula works for ya and your choonz sound good then that's all that matters. I really like how this guy works with what he's got. Shows you don't need billions of exspensive soft synths and plugins to make good rave music.

    I think it's third time I'm watching this video. Not because I want to learn some particular technique, but to keep myself in check, whenever I want to buy some new hardware or software.

    Guys like Rusko deserve to be on top! He's so talented and humble... There are some great guys in the industry like him, Skrilly, Hardwell, Nicky Romero who really deserve what they get. It's amazing seeing somebody producing on a CRT monitor, with Windows XP & stuff! Cause nowadays almost everybody has Macbooks, iMacs or very powerful computers with wide screens & stuff... This guy made it all on that little computer in his room. And Skrillex did that too. Rusko, you're a fuckin' great guy !!
