Step 1: Rusko always begins his tracks by creating a drum pattern, and Rat Track, the dirty dancefloor beast that we’re dissecting here, is no exception. The first element is a kick drum, sampled from a house track. This has been equalised using Acid Pro 6’s built-in EQ. The 79Hz region is boosted by 2.9dB to add punch, and a high shelf is used to give extra presence to the rhythm.
