My journey discovering Rusky Rusk (Part 1)

My journey discovering Rusky Rusk (Part 1)
Ha ha, fellas! I'm back and have my laptop, so I can fix the problems I had from before! I went on a 24-day cross country trip and saw stuff like the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, Horseshoe Bend, and more... you probably get the point. But I'm back! How lovely! But enough of me; I'd like to tell my story about discovering the former Russian DJ Rusky Rusk. I was listening to TheRatNest June 2013 when I found interest in one of the featured tracks. I thought to myself that when I could, I would view what song it was on its tracklist. (Source: pesni.guru) 1. Diplo feat. Lazerdisk Party Sex - Set It Off (TheFatRat Remix) 2. Passion Pit - Carried Away (Dillon Francis Remix) 3. Martin Solveig & The Cataracs - Hey Now feat. Kyle 4. Cristian Marchi, Mac 'C - Let's F**k (Cristian Marchi Perfect Mix) 5. Nicky Romero, Nilson, John Christian - Still The Same Man 6. Wolfgang Gartner - Anaconda 7. Empire Of The Sun - Alive (Zedd Remix) 8. GeRich, Feltting, Jussendo - Heaven (Montee Remix) 9. Hypster, Niqi - Let The Beat Drop 10. Rusky Rusk - Sugar Free 11. Adam K, Savant - Damage 12. Black Tiger Sex Machine - Destroy It (Urban Contact Remix) 13. Wolfgang Gartner, Medina - Overdose 14. Mord Fustang - Magic Trooper (Jp.Moa Remix) 15. Stafford Borthers, Christina Milian - Hello (Will Sparks Remix) 16. Daft Punk - Digital Love (Panic City Remix) 17. Ugly Baby - Pronto 18. Living Your Life - Farleon 19. Singularity ft. Steffi Nguyen - The Tide (TheFatRat Remix) 20. Funkin Matt - We Are Electric There it was: It was called "Sugar Free", by Rusky Rusk. Great! Then I was going to hunt for this awesome song. All it takes is going to this artist's profile and song and hopefully being able to download it... or is that all it takes? I tried searching for a Rusky Rusk on Soundcloud; I didn't find their official profile. I tried searching for the song... and there was only one good result from Google. And it was a YouTube video from FractureBox. Great! If all was lost, I could listen to that video. After multiple hours (collectively from multiple sessions of searching) trying to find a legitimate download link for "Sugar Free", all I found were released songs like "Happy Pooh", "Fine Time", "Rukkola", "Coneboy", "Woo", "Chudo", and so much more... but alas, there was no "Sugar Free". The song was released some time during 2013; that's for sure. I found a Last.FM profile for his music. It had the song "Sugar Free" listed on there! (insert happy expression here), I found a reference to the song! And it had a download button! Lo and behold! It isn't on iTunes, eBay, or Amazon. Check Spotify! No "Sugar Free". Search "Rusky Rusk" "Topic" on YouTube! No "Sugar Free". I check the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine for any remnants of this man and there were some! Well, that's all for part 1. It has been an entire month since I've started this post (July 6, 2021) and I've been neglecting my good old blog section for a while and I'm sorry. I was so pressured to make this a complete story post, but perhaps that will come later. Adios, peeps. Signing off, Matthew // Ronture
