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."

“Let My Love Open the Door”

Pete Townshend | 1980

A peppy, hopeful love song, "Let My Love Open the Door" became a U. S. Top Ten hit for Pete Townshend in 1980, anchored by the kind of repeating synthesizer figures that he'd used in some of the Who's recordings in the previous decade. Although Townshend brushed the song off as "just a ditty" in Rolling Stone shortly after its release, in 1996 he revealed it was about love of the holiest sort. "It's supposed to be about the power of God's love," he remarked. "That when you're in difficulty, whether it's major or minor, God's love is always there for you."
