/Rupture, Shade, and Moor

DJ /Rupture has been becoming a legend in his own field in New York. His skills at sociopolitical commentary through DJ work has been staggering. His work speaks subtly and is rabidly unique. When a DJ develops a taste that just sits in your head for days after, that DJ has done something great. DJ /Rupture is just that.

If you're not familiar with DJ/Rupture, he is a quite the interesting DJ, having remixed country songs, poetry, and made amazing architecture with his music. His renown Special Gunpowder and Uproot albums were quite critically acclaimed. Work with Andy Moor, not the Brit DJ, has also lead to quite unique songs The Sheep Look Up. Now if it's not your cup of tea, that's quite alright, but you should learn to respect how unique DJ /Rupture is and how well he crafts his voice and ideas so subtly into his work, and his amazing ability to take you song to song and keep a single idea going. Tiesto really doesn't have much on him, but that's a whole other story.

If you're not familiar with Matt Shadetek, he is quite the good dance remixer, and is starting to gain lots of popularity. He too has quite a ability to logically flow songs together like threads in a blanket. Just have to check out only one of his mixes, (this one is one of my favs. I might add), Get Drunk and Loose Your Phone to become aware at how well he can craft flow.
The two combined create an amazing trip into the consciousness. That's what Solar Life Raft really does. The poetry and mix of it all create an other-worldly experience like no other! It's a cd that is continuous, and though some of the songs are great stand alone songs, you need to sit down for the full hour the cd takes, turn off the lights, and just go through the experience that this cd will take you.

DJ /Rupture's work with Andy Moor, as stated above NOT THE BRIT DJ, is just as powerful. Andy Moor has become a strong guitarist (from the band The Ex)and has an amazingly great musical sense about him, as can be heard in the collaboration album with /Rupture, Patches. It is quite it's own taste, but, again, if you can find a place for DJ /Rupture's style, you're really going to dig this album as well.
