This is one of the craziest, most eclectic mixes I've ever heard. DJ /rupture incorporates what seems like music from every corner of the globe, from Eastern Indian sitars, to '80s Euro Pop to contemporary European & American techno, to African hip-hop to English jungle to Caribbean dub & steel drums... Nina Simone's vocals are layered over electro, Indian vocals are layered over drum & bass, there's straight up rap, cracked out experimental... I think it would be easier to name the styles of music that don't have samples on this mix!

What makes this album truly amazing is that it works. I have no idea how. But it does, and that's /rupture's genius. If a good DJ mix is greater than the sum of its parts, this is an excellent DJ mix. Even if you don't particularly care for a lot of the tracks in the mix, you have to admire /rupture's ability to make these tracks work.

I've given this mix to many friends and their reactions are all the same, something along the lines of 'what the hell was that? and how did it actually sound good?'

I can't even imagine what his live DJ sets are like!
