dj /rupture's first big break came in 2001 with gold teeth thief, a mixtape which mixes hip-hop, ragga, breakcore and world music. his second mixtape minesweeper suite was an even greater success, with the uk music magazine the wire calling it one of the 10 best records of 2003. a year later he released special gunpowder, his most critically acclaimed album to date. in 2005 he performed with the cataluynan national symphonic orchestra at sonar festival in Barcelona, spain.
as his music would suggest DJ Rupture has a wide variety of influences. from japanese noise to the pixies and the ruins to dub reggae, classical avant-garde & musique concrete, hiphop, north african sounds, ragga, rai and moroccan shaabi his musical taste is eclectic to say the very least.
dj rupture's music often contains subtle political undertones. rupture captured the sound of oppression and strife musically evident in many folk traditions while covertly flavouring his mixes with his own geopolitical views. expect to hear a mash-up of all things fresh.
