rusowsky by Sergy Garcia
DEBUT ALBUM COMING SOON
VIA RUSIA-IDK / WARNER RECORDS
Madrid-based multi-instrumentalist and producer rusowsky shares his second offering of the year with the new song “ALTAGAMA.” Written and produced by rusowsky, his new single embodies the romance of crossing glances with your crush. The idea of “ALTAGAMA” speaks against the idea of glamorizing expensive or designer clothes as an indicator of taste, and instead embracing one’s own inherent charisma and personal style.
Alongside the single, rusowsky shares the video directed by Fomotrauma where we see rusowsky donning an ironically bombastic version of himself that represents that false reliance on luxury items as a character trait, traversing an underground nightclub with magicians, mermaids and surprises at every turn, personifying extreme luxury from a playful perspective. “ALTAGAMA” follows the recently shared “SOPHIA,” which arrived with a video co-directed by Fomotrauma and Roy Viceroy. rusowsky is gearing up to release his anticipated debut album via Rusia-IDK / Warner Records later this year.
Last year, rusowsky shared the collaborative singles “neo roneo” with Latin Mafia and “uwu^^” with BbTrickz, which Rolling Stone named one of the best Spanish-Language Songs of 2024, marking the first music released with Warner Records, who rusowsky signed with last year and partnered with his entire Rusia-IDK collective on a joint venture. Rusia-IDK also consists of avant-garde talents like Ralphie Choo (who closed the year collaborating with Rosalía on “Omega”), TRISTÁN!, drummie, and mori, who are all propelling music in the Spanish capital into exciting and unpredictable new places. Rusowsky will also embark on a series of live performances throughout the year, including a performance at Bahidora Festival in Mexico and more to be announced soon.
Born Ruslan Mediavilla, rusowsky took his stage name from a combination of his nickname, “rus,” and the character Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. Rusowsky is a prominent figure in Madrid’s genre-bending alternative music scene that has evolved from a local phenomenon into a sound resonating across the globe, recognized for his storytelling skills and production that plays with musical genres as if they’re childhood toys. Rusowsky began releasing music in 2019 and has since collaborated with a myriad of esteemed artists, including C. Tangana, Judeline, DELLAFUENTE, and fellow Rusia-IDK member Ralphie Choo. From electrifying performances at renowned festivals such as AXE Ceremonia, Sonar, and Lollapalooza South America to sold-out concerts across Mexico and Spain, rusowsky has established himself as a dynamic force in music.
