    Timeblind Solar Life Raft Ingredients Label: theAgriculture Release date: 4th January 2010 Format: Digital Coltan and Cassiterite Timeblind The unmixed ingredients from Rupture and Shadetek's Solar Life Raft Including two tracks by me: Coltan and Cassiterite and Space Cadet (which came out on last year's 12" on Version). I've been waiting/yearning for Coltan and Cassiterite to come out for much of last year. I was about to release it myself just to relieve my own tension waiting for it. Anyway, its on a good home: The Agriculture and the reviews have been great so far. The title refers to two of the minerals that are mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo and are components in portable electronics like cel phones. Its one of the unfortunate driving forces behind continuing warfare among the militias in the Rwanda/DRC border area Avail at boomkat: http://➯.ws/⚥ SLR in 320kMP3 and Flac DJ /Rupture and Matt Shadetek Solar Life Raft Label: theAgriculture Release date: 10th November 2009 Catalog: AG-049 Format: CD Album , Digital Distribution: Revolver, Cargo Available at: juno coltan and cassiterite _ Timeblind Space Cadet - Timeblind With the release of Solar Life Raft, DJ /rupture and Matt Shadetek emerge from the shores of Brooklyn bearing gifts from the future. A rich blend of bass, beats, and space, rocked by a tropical wind out of the west, Solar Life Raft is an arresting testament to the fruit that grows at the margins, free from genre orthodoxy and pulsing with gentle mutant energy The liner notes allude to a strange future, where youthful optimism and solar panels survive alongside dolphins in a drowned New York Solar Life Raft features 25 tracks blended on three decks into a complete hypnotic and gripping narrative. Rupture's response to the recession was to stay local and work with nearby friends and collaborators He invited Shadetek to co-produce the mix CD. Shadetek's dubstep anthem "Strength in Numbers" is the first beat to drop on Solar Life Raft, and sums up their outlook. They reached out to fellow Brooklynites Gang Gang Dance, Telepathe, and Jahdan Blakkamoore, offering their skills as remixers. To these remixes they added a half-dozen original productions, and a fascinating selection of other tracks One of Rupture's several collaborations with poet Elizabeth Alexander, who spoke at Obama's Inauguration, finds a place here, as does entrancing multilingual poet Caroline Bergvall Ghostly voices from classical wunderkind Nico Muhly’s Mothertongue (another New Yorker) flow into an exclusive beat from London's leading female grime producer, Mizz Beats French musique concrete and avant-garde legend Luc Ferrari rubs up against the latest wave of U S dubstep. Indeed, while others focus on the UK sounds, Rupture & Shadetek make a convincing argument for the creativity and excitement of stateside dubstep and electronica Solar Life Raft was recorded over the course of two days at Rupture's home studio in Brooklyn, although the pair spent months before building tunes for it and crafting the remixes At times the narrative flow is delicately smooth, at others the duo use the first-take recordings to capture the energy and freshness of a live mix The inclusion of sounds and artists from outside of electronic dance music move Solar Life Raft into a territory all its own.

The unmixed ingredients from Rupture and Shadetek&8217;s Solar Life Raft. Including two tracks by me: Coltan and Cassiterite and Space Cadet (which came out on last year&8217;s 12&8221; on Version)

    With the release of Solar Life Raft, DJ /rupture and Matt Shadetek emerge from the shores of Brooklyn bearing gifts from the future. A rich blend of bass, beats, and space, rocked by a tropical wind out of the west, Solar Life Raft is an arresting testament to the fruit that grows at the margins, free from genre orthodoxy and pulsing with gentle mutant energy. The liner notes allude to a strange future, where youthful optimism and solar panels survive alongside dolphins in a drowned New York.

    Solar Life Raft features 25 tracks blended on three decks into a complete hypnotic and gripping narrative. Rupture&8217;s response to the recession was to stay local and work with nearby friends and collaborators. He invited Shadetek to co-produce the mix CD. Shadetek&8217;s dubstep anthem &8220;Strength in Numbers&8221; is the first beat to drop on Solar Life Raft, and sums up their outlook. They reached out to fellow Brooklynites Gang Gang Dance, Telepathe, and Jahdan Blakkamoore, offering their skills as remixers.

    To these remixes they added a half-dozen original productions, and a fascinating selection of other tracks. One of Rupture&8217;s several collaborations with poet Elizabeth Alexander, who spoke at Obama&8217;s Inauguration, finds a place here, as does entrancing multilingual poet Caroline Bergvall. Ghostly voices from classical wunderkind Nico Muhly’s Mothertongue (another New Yorker) flow into an exclusive beat from London&8217;s leading female grime producer, Mizz Beats. French musique concrete and avant-garde legend Luc Ferrari rubs up against the latest wave of U.S. dubstep.

    Indeed, while others focus on the U.K. sounds, Rupture & Shadetek make a convincing argument for the creativity and excitement of stateside dubstep and electronica. Solar Life Raft was recorded over the course of two days at Rupture&8217;s home studio in Brooklyn, although the pair spent months before building tunes for it and crafting the remixes.

    At times the narrative flow is delicately smooth, at others the duo use the first-take recordings to capture the energy and freshness of a live mix. The inclusion of sounds and artists from outside of electronic dance music move Solar Life Raft into a territory all its own. This is an album with lasting emotional resonance that can still make the car trunks rattle.

    A Mahout is a the long-term caretaker of an Elephant. I was going to call this mix Elephant Jockey, which means both &8220;guy who likes to fuck fat girls&8221; and is a racial epithet in certain parts of Africa. I decided not to use the name due to the latter.

    One night in southern India my very good friend Galya and I got off the bus in a state park. We were immediately surrounded by the rangers who told us we couldn&8217;t stay there due to the dangerous presence of Veerappan the Bandit (although he was never known to terrorize tourists). We caught a ride on top of a truck and there I met a Mahout who told me in typically fucked up English about his 30 years with his Elephant. Long term relationship, very deep. It was late and very dark and the truck barreled loudly under the Banyan trees. A few months later Veerappan, who was very vain about his majestic moustache, experienced health problems due to the toxic black die he colored it with. He tried to go into the city to seek help, but when the car opened its back doors he was assassinated by the police with a single shot to the head. It is believed that he had stashed millions of rupees deep in the forest in cash including ransom money and ornaments, in secret caves and holes in the forest.

    Its all true I swear !
