The world's a mess, it's in his mix.

We Say...
Barcelona-based DJ/rupture shows off his formidable turntable skills (and frighteningly deep record collection) with a three-deck mix that spans dancehall reggae, Middle Eastern drumming, underground London breakcore and Hot 97-ready a cappellas. As a festive soundtrack, Minesweeper Suite is better suited for squat parties than a chardonnay tasting, but /rupture's knack for drilling holes through genres (mashing up Aaliyah's "Resolution" with apocalyptic drum 'n' bass, screwing hip-hop into psychedelic glitch-folk) threads a groove that could spin any pair of hips out onto the dancefloor. The form (beat-oriented fusion) and the content (any sound you can imagine, never deracinated but instead radically re-contextualized) make the perfect icebreaker to get trainspotters talking politics, and vice versa.

They Say...
Armed with three turntables, DJ /rupture devours and recontextualizes the work of artists like Foxy Brown, Nina Simone, Shinehead, Aaliyah, Roberta Flack, DAT Politics, Mahmoud Fadi, Donna Summer, Kid 606, and Cex. This relentlessly danceable collection of beats, noise, and dub concrete, DJ /rupture's first full-length statement, isn't just a party mix -- like DJ Spooky, DJ /rupture is spelling out a political thesis. Whether mixing the Middle East-meets-Africa sounds of Nubian artist Mahmoud Fadi, appropriating a Foxy Brown lyric, or reworking Cex, Minesweeper Suite dissolves the boundaries between artistic genres and disrupts the legacy of colonialism by respectfully juxtaposing cultural differences that underlie various source material -- and in doing so, forces listeners to confront their notions of genre, culture, and ethnicity.
