dj /rupture

i really liked that last thing (the Rupture / Mutamussik split), but after a few listens, didn't like it anymore. i think it mostly had to do with the Mutamussik half?

I also wish these guys (Rhythm & Sound, /rupture, Bug) would just do whole albums with forgotten dancehall singers/deejays like Cornel Campbell, Cutty Ranks and Sister Nancy. It's a win-win people! These folks are way better than most of their vocal collaborators (excepting Rhythm & Sound who get pretty good talent all around) and I have no idea what Ranks and Nancy are doing these days, but I can't imagine they would chafe at the idea at making new fans (esp. since none of these folks has torn up the charts in Jamaica in years.)

Is there anyone else out there who really likes rupture's mixes?

The mole track on Special gunpowder is also a standout.

Check out his blog:

he is into sleep and doom metal now as well!

I'm pretty excited about the Maga Bo mixtape that's supposed to be out sometime this month. I saw him at the Rickshaw a couple of weeks ago and he did an amazing DJ set (total grime/senegalese hip hop/snap/baile funk mashup.) Apparently /rupture will be doing a set there next month as well (for the same night, some Six Degrees related thing.)

I forgot how fun those early mixes are! Hi Alex!

How is /rupture doing these days and who else is currently working in a similar tradition?

and i see from his blog that he has a new mix out which I promptly bought:

luv the internet sometimes. SOMETIMES

admrl, do you know Maga Bo? His podcast recalled dj/rupture.. it's on the link below, podcast 37

Maga Bo is pretty great. He has a mix out on Soot (/rupture's record label) and a new album out soon.

/rupture has a weekly radio show on WFMU which is good stuff.

sweet thanks!

That Turntable Lab mix is really great.

/rupture also has a new mix out on Agriculture which appears considerably mellower (and less pop) than most of his other stuff.

Urgh, this thing is really freaking me out...!

i'm digging on uproot (although the second half is more ambient and kinda boring)

i really like it.

he played here the other night. it was fun. i wore a tie.

I'm liking Uproot too, even the ambient stuff, but find myself wishing for at least a bit of the old short sharp shocking. Still listen to Gold Teeth, Minesweeper and that Mutamassik split on a regular basis, much more than the more subdued Special Gunpowder. Which makes me wonder how the new one will fare in the long run.

uproot is nice

I pulled out Minesweeper Suite the other week, still holds up nicely. Haven't heard the new one yet.

I've been leaving this new collaboration with Andy Moor on in the background at work.

been doin the same with that mutamassik live in dubai cd

Omani Revolutionary Army - A'aish El Shaab (Raggamuffin Mix)

Yeah where the hell is this from? Would totally dig more stuff in this vein.

if you google it the only ref is the dang dj/rupture mix

2004 post-election mix is the rad
also I have way too much of this wfmu podcast to consume and it is mostly educational

Anyway I actually like the Mutamassik half of that particular mix better than the /rupture half (although he's got plenty of mixes that I like better than both.) I kind of forgot about her until recently, but she has her own label and just released an EP.

i didnt know it was split i just figured it was a collabo

Yeah /rupture's half ends with the Jungle Bros remix and Mutamassik starts with the Omani Army one.

wow yeah my respect for rupture just dropped down 2 the floor all my fav shit is on the 2nd half

who is this mutamassik chick & why is she not making me eggs right now

hold up

i'd love to hear that. i listen to the wfmu podcast on the regular too.

Discogs is wrong. His half is first and Mutamassik is second.

yeah that seems right

anything else from mutamassik i should check for?

There is a comp on Sound!Ink that's really good. The War Booty EP on Soot is her best work, I think, but it's almost all on the Sound!Ink comp.
