DJ /rupture

rupture_france.jpg
You won’t find another musician as agile and reckless as DJ /rupture. He’s performed in over 25 countries, released records on Soul Jazz & Tigerbeat6, DJ’ed in a band with Norah Jones, done two John Peel Sessions, and was turntable soloist with the 80-member Barcelona Symphony Orchestra. Rupture’s fans include Robert Plant and that hot person you saw on the street yesterday but were afraid to talk to.

What’s Rupture sound like? A border-crossing bass visionary. His dynamic live sets simultaneously partyrock and suggest complex political undertones. Download his highly-influential Gold Teeth Thief mix from 2001. A four-star review in VIBE Magazine praised it as a “stunning, globe-trotting, three-turntable mix” that “captures the spirit of the best bootleg mixes–bumping, brash, and without borders.” That, of course, was just the beginning…

Rupture also runs Soot Records, an independent label with impeccable curation, dedicated to international urban music. Rupture plays in a band called Nettle — violin, cello, electronics, banjo, guembri, voice. Rupture does duo performances with guitarist Andy Moor (The Ex). Both projects will release albums in 2007.
