DJ /rupture
is the pseudonym of Jace Clayton, a New York-based DJ and producer. He used to play in the drum and bass collective Toneburst, and DJ'ed in Boston during the late 1990s. His standard setup involves three turntables, on which he creates complicated mixes such as one with a cappella vocals, the second with breakbeats, and the third with ambient effects. DJ /rupture's first big break came in 2001 with Gold Teeth Thief, a mix which combines hip hop, ragga, breakcore, jungle, noise, modern classical and music from around the globe. 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 2002. A year later, /rupture produced Special Gunpowder, his most critically acclaimed album to date. He has appeared on John Peel's BBC radio show twice, in addition to playing on The Breezeblock. /rupture is also part of the musical group Nettle and runs his own label, Soot Records. In 2008, he co-founded a new label with Matt Shadetek, called Dutty Artz. His latest mix, Uproot, released in October 2008, is surely his most "listenable" mix to date, blended seamlessly with elements from UK dubstep and Brooklyn dancehall to Berlin abstraction. In addition to his music, /rupture is becoming a well-known voice on the blog scene with musical and non-musical posts on his website, "Mudd Up!". He also writes for other publications such as The Wire on a freelance basis. /rupture deejays a show also called "Mudd Up!" on Wednesdays, 7-8p.m. on WFMU.
Joker & MC Nomad
Bristol boy-wonder Joker came to the spotlight after the dubstep guru Pinch put out his Kapsize EP in early 2007. His strange synthesized grime / dubstep tempo music, involving computer game soundtracks and the 1970s jazz fusion, brings meanness and the prettiness to the same context, big stomping basslines together with glimmering little splices. This fresh combination soon conquered the world. Stuck In The System became an anthem at dubstep nights, as well as all the following releases. Chosen by Kode 9, Joker got featured on Mary Anne Hobbs Generation Bass show on BBC Radio 1 Experimental. He also featured her Bristol Rise Up show. Watch out for the releases on his own Kapsize label, and his forthcoming release on Kode 9s Hyperdub label. In Graz, Joker will present his sound accompanied by MC Nomad.
PDF
Der seit 2001 im Hip Hop-Bereich taetige Kuenstler PDF, auch bekannt als Phil da Funk, ist seit Anfang 2008 auf dem Dubstep-Sektor als Produzent und DJ aktiv. Beeinflusst von Hip Hop/ Soul und Funk kombiniert er seine alten Wurzeln mit elektronischen Klaengen und setzt damit noch eine weitere Moeglichkeit, die breitgefaecherte Musikrichtung zu repraesentieren. Dominierender Bestandteil der Kompositionen sind die Bassfrequenzen, untermalt mit zahlreichen Hall- und Echoeffekten, die eindeutig aus der Dub-Szene stammen.
Neurologic und Sub Scientist
sind Duck Pond. Vor ein bisschen mehr als einem Jahr entschlossen sich die beiden, nachdem sie schon einige Zeit ihrem Hobby, Auflegen froenten, ein Kollektiv zu gruenden. Obwohl beide auch eindeutig andere Musik wie D&B, Jungle, Tekkno, uvm. auflegen haben sie zusammen vorallem in Dubstep ihre Passion gefunden. Ihre Selection reicht ueber diverse Variationen von Dubstep, von chillig bis uebertrieben hart. Check it Out!
