If DJ Shadow absolutely lost it and ran off to Africa to make music, it might sound like the crashing breakbeats and rootsy percussion of Nettle--who are Soot Records' DJ Rupture and Madridian painter DD.
Nettle (DJ Rupture + DD)
DJ /rupture founded Soot Records in 1999 as a strike against geography: diasporic breakbeats meet digital-audio sound research.
His past releases have included Minesweeper Suite and Gold Teeth Thief – his debut album as producer is out now on TigerBeat6 records: Special Gunpowder. DD is a painter and multimedia artist from Madrid.
