With the release of 2009's 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, the album is an arresting testament to the fruit
that grows at the margins, free from genre orthodoxy and pulsing with
gentle mutant energy. The duo has a shared appreciation for streetwise
dance music as well as more experimental sounds, and Solar Life Raft
features tracks blended on three decks into a complete hypnotic and
gripping narrative. (via altsounds)
