Rupture Ldn Vinilo y CD

Review: He'll shake you, he'll stir you, he'll hurl you around the dancefloor with tunes you didn't know existed. It's David Double O, the co-founder of Rupture and one of the most stealth-like production ninjas the game has ever known. In operation for more years than you get for a multiple murder, he finally unleashes this debut LP and, to put things simply, it's a true lesson in foundational jungle craft. The space and rattles around the breaks on 'Testing Ground', the stark dark soul of 'Bad To Worse' and the absolute relentlessness of 'Riddim Yah' are three of many highlights. If you're a regular at Rupture you'll already have these deep in your psyche. Exemplary.

Review: Something classy and jazzy right now from the Rupture family as Rumbleton returns with a clutch of musical jungle explorations. Sitting somewhere between 4 Hero and Earl Grey, each cut rattles and sparkles with that cosmic, otherworldly feel. Tension and dynamics range vividly as 'Right Ingredients' unhurriedly sets the scene while 'Raw Deal' ups the energy with score-like momentum. Flip for a Good Looking adventure into the cosmos on 'Just A Dream' before 'Island Cream' wraps up proceedings with the heaviest, drum-focused track of the EP. Pure breakbeat funk with strong doses of jazz. Take a tumbleton for the Rumbleton.
