"Look Out!" is a song by British dubstep producer and DJ Rusko. It was self-released on 26 January 2018.
Christopher William Mercer is a British electronic dubstep, drum and bass producer and DJ from York, England.
In May 2017, it was revealed that Rusko had been diagnosed with gastric lymphoma, a rare type of stomach cancer and that he would take time off from producing music to receive treatment. [1] [2] In October, he appeared in an interview with electronic music publication website Your EDM, announcing that his treatment was successful and that he had become cancer-free. [3] [4]
Primary gastric lymphoma is an uncommon condition, accounting for less than 15% of gastric malignancies and about 2% of all lymphomas. However, the stomach is a very common extranodal site for lymphomas. It is also the most common source of lymphomas in the gastrointestinal tract.
Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is a cancer that develops from the lining of the stomach. Early symptoms may include heartburn, upper abdominal pain, nausea and loss of appetite. Later signs and symptoms may include weight loss, yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, vomiting, difficulty swallowing and blood in the stool among others. The cancer may spread from the stomach to other parts of the body, particularly the liver, lungs, bones, lining of the abdomen and lymph nodes.
Electronic music is music that employs electronic musical instruments, digital instruments and circuitry-based music technology. In general, a distinction can be made between sound produced using electromechanical means, and that produced using electronics only. Electromechanical instruments include mechanical elements, such as strings, hammers, and so on, and electric elements, such as magnetic pickups, power amplifiers and loudspeakers. Examples of electromechanical sound producing devices include the telharmonium, Hammond organ, and the electric guitar, which are typically made loud enough for performers and audiences to hear with an instrument amplifier and speaker cabinet. Pure electronic instruments do not have vibrating strings, hammers, or other sound-producing mechanisms. Devices such as the theremin, synthesizer, and computer can produce electronic sounds.
The song was released on 26 January 2018 as a digital download and on music streaming services by Rusko. [5] The song was marked as Rusko's first release since his collaborative extended play EP 2 with dubstep producer Caspa, released in 2016. Overall, he went through eight months between the start of his treatment and the release of "Look Out!". [6] [1]
Gary McCann, known professionally as Caspa, is a dubstep music producer from West London.
"Look Out!" was well received by most critics. Sadye Auren of Nest HQ called the song Rusko's "victory anthem", noting the songs' reggae influence and wrote that the song unveiled "a dynamic design of reverberation." [1] Writing for Billboard , Jennica Abrams wrote that the song was as "fun and colourful as Rusko's ever been", nothing the songs' "old-school vibe" and describing it as one that fans would enjoy. [7] Your EDM's Matthew Meadow described the song as a true "ode to classic Rusko sounds, complete with super crisp snares and heavy kicks, plenty of wobbles, horns, and those telltale UK sound bytes." [6] Raz Ahmad of Earmilk stated that Rusko hadn't "lost a bit of his UK bass swagger", writing that he wasted "no time reminding us that there's no better dispenser of wobbly basslines married to buzzing synths, playful instrumentals, and wonky ambient vocal interjections than himself."
