RUPTURE STUFF
New York Times love, followed by European tour dates.
first, NYT embraced my Frieze auto-tune essay as “Idea of the Day.”
[New York Times: Kyle Dean Reinford/Sonarsound]
And a few days later there appeared a very nice review & photo of my SONAR set. The event was a blast, thanks to everyone who came out (like Lou Reed!) and raved on a Tuesday night.
Jon Pareles’ SONAR review ended with:
“DJ/Rupture played strategically plotted but constantly surprising international mashups: a pitch-shifted “Standing in the Shadows of Love” vocal matched to a dancehall reggae bass line, cumbia accordions cascading over thumping electro beats, “Walk Like an Egyptian” with a sitar line tucked in. His music was plugged into ideas from around the globe; it also got people dancing.”
it was my last NYC gig for a minute — here’s info on my upcoming European tour:
May 29 – Berlin. The Bug w/ Flow Dan, Kid606, DJ Rupture, Sick Girls, Christoph de Babylon. big party!

Built the ‘hackintosh’ as well. For the same purpose, to learn Logic. Been a fun and frustrating adventure. Good luck in Europe. Love Andys work. Very talented guy!
