If you're familiar with Jace Clayton, aka DJ /Rupture , then by now you're well aware of his incredible career. Truth be told, the guy gets around. When he's not DJing in the 30 or so countries he frequents, he's either "slumming" it in Barcelona, or working in radio (a la John Peel) and magazines ( The Wire ). To keep up his credit, and retain some creative energy (or is it endurance?), Clayton's shacked up with New York-based and internationally vibrant producer Matt Shadetek on his latest forthcoming release. The new record's called [...]
DJ/rupture is back in Brooklyn and teaming up with Matt Shadetek for a new release entitled Solar Life Raft . The new release will mix dance music with more experimental elements and is slated for a street date of November 11 on the Agriculture. While the album will be the duo's first extended project together, it appears as far as touring goes that DJ/rupture is going it alone. Dates from his Myspace page are after the jump. DJ/rupture tour dates: Aug 14 - ICA Boston - Boston, MA Aug [...]
As hubs go, Unit.One has made one of the most compelling efforts to unite the forces of underground heavy bass music in the U.S. and abroad. Arising out of Dallas with a strong UK Garage/2-step surge in early 2000, the Unit One family has grown to New York City where Unit One co-founder Thanyen Nguyen (TiNy) is one of the hardest working promoters on the island. Continuing the tradition of the UK Garage/Bassline MC and now behind the 1's and 2's, Tiny has put together a high-energy mix of Old Skool, Bassilne, and Dubstep that chronicles [...]
It must be a Dutty week here on Trash Menagerie.

Announced here earlier, Jahdan will be releasing his debut LP Buzzcock Warrior some time in September via the Dutty Artz label, with distribution through Gold Dust Media .

It's difficult to sift through the excitement going on through out the internets today, but luckily many of these stars align. One of these bright things is the dancehall singjay Jahdan Blakkamoore whose vocals not only grace the much-anticipated Major Lazer album on a cut called "Cash Flow," but will be featured on his own Dutty Artz released album "Buzzrock Warrior" coming out this summer via Gold Dust Media . At the production helm are Dutty Artz label co-owners Matt Shadetek and DJ/Rupture as well as powerhouse Modeselektor [...]
DOOM Screenshot This mix is the result of two things: 1) Some motherfucking cold-ass Budapest, Hungary weather and 2) Daydreaming of New York tropical Summer's and the parties that go along with them. And to no great surprise these parties are thrown by people like Taliesin and his Dutty Artz crew. Namely, at a party called, wait, " New York Tropical ": hosted by Dutty Artz family Matt Shadetek , Geko Jones , and Uproot Andy . Previous guests have included: DJ/Rupture , Bunny Rabbit , [...]
With the weather clearing up (in N.C.), March is starting to look like March, and what better way to celebrate being outside than to have great music tuning into your ears? Whether its while driving, going for a jog, or just straight illin'. These songs are amazing, especially the Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso track, it has an oldskool house beat and a sick acoustic session. Too good. But all in all, ALLL of these tracks and remixes are just great. I could go on all day explaining each and every one, but why would I want to ruin it [...]
