The English dubstep producer and DJ Rusko is set to unleash his new EP, Kapow, on November 4th. One standout is the industrial glitch-hop track "Yeah," which served a template for the upbeat release. "It was the first song on the EP I wrote. I wanted to make a positive-sounding song that brings everyone together at the rave," Rusko tells Rolling Stone. 

The beat of "Yeah" rises and falls in intensity, making it well-suited for club floors. Rusko, who is currently on tour, adds, "I've been testing it out for awhile now and it's an awesome, hands-in-the-air moment every night."

“He Will Break Your Heart”

Jerry Butler | 1960

A lightly swinging Latin-influenced, almost cha-cha groove and close harmonies decorated Jerry Butler's early soul hit "He Will Break Your Heart," delivering a stately warning that his rival would never love his girl like he did. The melody came to Butler as he was driving on the highway from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Philadelphia with Curtis Mayfield, and as Butler told Rolling Stone, "I just sang the melody and Curtis put the chords to it." The song's premise, Butler added, "was something that I'd lived ...The lyric was an experience rather than a revelation. Whereas music is usually a revelation."
