dj /rupture

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)

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.

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.

Because she never had a mix as high-profile (or as good) as Gold Teeth Thief basically.

agree, but her half of the shotgun wedding collab suggests that she's got something going on. maybe just to me

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.)

yeah, i was gonna suggest "lack of dedication?" but that seemed mean. a lot of things boil down to just that though

she had a few years head start, had a night in NYC I went to a few times - when rup dropped I thought of him as a mutamassik that would drop in more handholds of familiarity.

there was a more recent shotgun wedding edition he split, with filastine I think... his stuff from that (notable for use of neko case acapella) better than the massik split I thought.

cannot process "use of neko case acapella" and "better" in the same sentence

Really? I think that half is his weakest mix (although it is better than the Filastine half.)

It's just a snippet of "Dirty Knife" IIRC.

oh, just that

Haha well I was meaning that it isn't some crazy blend. That said there is a tune on the same mix that uses a significant portion of a Joanna Newsome vocal.

ah so this is where the mutamassik talk is. her new free album is really awesome so far - http://www.roughamericana.com/publicfiles/MUTAMASSIKThatWhichDeathCannotDestroy___.zip

this is beautiful http://www.negrophonic.com/2010/rembetika-solace-hour/

Hah, has DJ /rupture been looking at this thread? He just mentioned the raptor child rave scene gif on twitter.

I think it's just one of his favorite gifs. The link above is from his site.

Excited about the Moor Rembetika show tonight.

Oh that right, it's on WFMU tonight. The Ex go Greek?

lex upped the new/recent mutamassik lp that which death cannot destroy a couple months back, but no one picked up on it. it's weird stuff, intriguing, though not likely to increase her profile much. fragmentary, dubbed-out sound collages built around middle eastern folk and dance music (as per usual). mostly low end throb and a few ragged surface repetitions, all shifting constantly, woozy, psychedelic. lots of hand percussion, "ethnic" instrumentation and turntablism drifting in and out. which is to say that it might have come out on wordsound in the early 00s, aka illbient. like a punk badawi maybe, or spooky gone bedouin vampire. zombie dance mix assembled by christian marclay from broken adrian sherwood records. something oddly gothic about it, too, in the understated menace and crepuscular spookshow vibe. it sounds like music not of the revolution, but of its smoldering aftermath. tent city shit, despairing techno primitivism. relentlessly anti-pop, no repurposed hits, rhythms all crippled and bent, intentionally (?) awkward sounds and transitions. i.e., art school political punk all the way, but charming for that. while i can't say it invites or commands attention, it easily holds my interest from beginning to end. recommended if you were ever interested in any of the above referenced.

"Oh that right, it's on WFMU tonight. The Ex go Greek?"

Not really. More like noisy rembitika.

"it's weird stuff, intriguing, though not likely to increase her profile much."

Especially since as far as I can tell she's only releasing as 160 mp3s for free on her website.

yeah, too bad about the sound quality. if you're gonna release it mp3 only, might as well give us decent files, right? and her myspace page bums me out. play counts range from 500 to like 2. :,,,(

Think I am going to buy this Andy Moor Rebitika thing. Sounds great.

does ilm still care for dj/rupture

my first thought was 'fairtrade diplo' but that feels unfair

lol

his wfmu show was so great.

i heard massive amounts of music from everywhere

I still care about /rupture. Early mixes are still among my favorites.
