Rustie (born Russell Whyte) is a Scottish musician from Glasgow. He signed to Warp Records in 2010 and received widespread recognition for his 2011 debut album Glass Swords. He is often referred to as one of the pioneers of the Future Bass genre along with fellow Scot Hudson Mohawke.

In 2014, Rustie released his 2nd album Green Language featuring various rappers such as Danny Brown & D Double E on 26 August 2014 via Warp Records. Two tracks from the album, “Raptor” and “Attak (feat. Danny Brown)” received “best new track” awards by Pitchfork. Following the release, a second single, “Lost (feat. Redinho)”, was premiered by Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1.

At the beginning of November 2015, Rustie announced that his third album, EVENIFUDONTBELIEVE, would be released on November 5th. EVENIFUDONTBELIEVE was released via Warp Records, having made two of the singles taken from the album, “First Mythz” and “Peace Upzzz” available for stream just days prior to the release.

In the midst of EVENIFUDONTBELIEVE’s release cycle and tour, Whyte announced that he would be cancelling all concerts “due to addiction and mental health problems”.
