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:http://www.negrophonic.com/words/

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?
― admrl, Sunday, 10 August 2008 02:41 (fifteen years ago) link
and i see from his blog that he has a new mix out which I promptly bought: http://www.turntablelab.com/cds/170/399/52098.html

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.
― Alex in SF, Sunday, 10 August 2008 20:34 (fifteen years ago) link
sweet thanks!
― admrl, Sunday, 10 August 2008 21:29 (fifteen years ago) link
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'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.

Yeah where the hell is this from? Would totally dig more stuff in this vein.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 14:54 (fifteen years ago) link
if you google it the only ref is the dang dj/rupture mix
― it's darn and ielle is hot (and what), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 15:03 (fifteen years ago) link
2004 post-election mix is the radalso I have way too much of this wfmu podcast to consume and it is mostly educational
― Snop Snitchin, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 15:07 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 15:23 (fifteen years ago) link
i didnt know it was split i just figured it was a collabo
― it's darn and ielle is hot (and what), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 15:27 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah /rupture's half ends with the Jungle Bros remix and Mutamassik starts with the Omani Army one.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 15:42 (fifteen years ago) link
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

i'd love to hear that. i listen to the wfmu podcast on the regular too.
― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 16:11 (fifteen years ago) link
Discogs is wrong. His half is first and Mutamassik is second.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 16:50 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah that seems right
anything else from mutamassik i should check for?
― it's darn and ielle is hot (and what), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 16:52 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 16:56 (fifteen years ago) link
mutamassik back end isn't any better than rupture up front. then again, no worse, and i've always kinda wondered why she dropped off the map, while he went on to not-fame and not-fortune. maybe she's just puts less stuff out? do look up war booty though.
― They don’t understand. And I eat a lot of matzo brie. (contenderizer), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 17:36 (fifteen years ago) link
Because she never had a mix as high-profile (or as good) as Gold Teeth Thief basically.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 17:39 (fifteen years ago) link
agree, but her half of the shotgun wedding collab suggests that she's got something going on. maybe just to me
― They don’t understand. And I eat a lot of matzo brie. (contenderizer), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 17:42 (fifteen years ago) link
I agree she does, it's just that like, as in many things, the world had room for one semi-famous globe trotting ethno-hip hop-dancehall-connecting dj and /rupture turned out to be it. To be fair to him though, he's really put the work in whereas she's had one released mix so far (split with him.)
