21+ / www.joesbar.comAssuming the throne of dubsteps most ruthless masked madman, FuntCase has been tearing up dance floors over the past decade. Since 2009, FuntCase has positioned himself at the forefront of dubstep and has maintained his notable presence through memorable releases, high-energy DJ sets, and unparalleled engagement with his community. As an original member of the Circus Records roster, FuntCases signature sound and incredible output have been instrumental in making the dubstep scene what it is today.Born and bred in the UK, James Hazell began his relationship with electronic music as a drum and bass producer and DJ before unveiling his new alias FuntCase officially stepped onto the scene at the height of dubsteps voyage across the pond. Recognized by his signature mask and merciless production style, FuntCase quickly became a fan-favorite for bass music enthusiasts around the world. With a slew of releases under his belt throughout the 2010s with his Circus Records crew, FuntCase transitioned from producer to industry trendsetter when he launched his own brand, DPMO. The brand has been synonymous with FuntCase and his top-tier curation for years under the Circus Records umbrella in 2020, FuntCase announced the launch of his own record label of the same name, ushering in a new era as a label founder.Beyond his belligerent dubstep cuts, FuntCase regularly reveals his unmasked self to interact with his dedicated community. When hes off the stage, FuntCase is an avid gamer with a fast-rising community on Twitch, sharing laughs with his viewers and swapping production tips with new producers. Often nestled at home with his cats and loved ones, its clear that FuntCase exhibits a split personality: the masked menace flailing about onstage to a crowd of thousands of headbangers versus the fun-loving gamer who values friendship and collaboration. Nearly a decade ago, Rusko demanded the world to wake the fuck up, and it did. Now hes back to push the envelope further and prove that the UK sound that made him iconic is, as powerful now as it was then.The UK-born DJ/Producer and graduate of the Leeds College of Music pioneered the rise of dubstep, transforming it from an underground genre in urban London to an international phenomenon stretching from the UK to the US and beyond. Ruskos gritty, genre-defining single Cockney Thug, as well as FabricLive.37, his debut collaboration album with fellow electronic heavyweight Caspa, is considered crucial to popularizing the iconic wobble of dubstep. His first solo album O.M.G.!, was largely produced on the road in 2010, with Rusko cutting tracks by day, and testing them on living, breathing dance floors by night.Rusko continues to be a unique buoy in a sea of generic, overly aggressive bass music which has largely abandoned its groove-based UK origins. Time and time again, his versatility shines through an expansive canon of music that includes definitive solo projects, collabs with legends like Cypress Hill, production for M.I.A and remixes for the likes of everyone from Lady Gaga to Kid Sister to Sub Focus.Rusko relentlessly maintains his grasp on the cutting edge of electronic music and proves to be an unstoppable force. And the world better stay the fuck awake for new things to come.
