The new DJ Rupture/Matt Shadetek 12" is one hell of a dangerous record. As I was taking it from its sleeve I nearly sliced two of my fingers off (the cardboard in which the record came is amazingly dense). As for the actual music I can say that even though the sleeve nearly put an end to my flourishing FIFA 10 career, I didnt hold back on listening to it with an air of expectancy. It starts with a kind of dub style track then makes a hard segue into what you could call euro-dance territory. The transistion is actually not as jarring (Jahhh-ing) as you would think. The production is flawless and the artists have managed to create a really thick sounding record which, when added to the cardboard death sleeve makes something denser then 35 Wayne Rooneys....Dont let that put you off though. This is a dance/electro/dub record which is worthy of a purchase. I'm off to get my fingers stiched back on ....

DJ /Rupture and Matt Shadetek's three track EP ‘Shallows’ features their strongest dub-wise productions to-date. With two preview tracks from their upcoming new mix CD ‘Solar Life Raft’, and an exclusive vinyl-only cut, ‘Shallows’ is a storm surge from New York's building Tropical movement. Shadetek's ‘Strength In Numbers’ kicks things off right with its triumphant reggae horns and a heavy sine-wave bass. This tune has become an anthem at their Dutty Artz parties and Rupture has been wrecking dancefloors with it across the globe. Title track ‘Shallows’ brings a busy electronic R&B atmosphere with weird bleeps arranged with an ear for pop. ‘Underwater High Rise’ ft DJ Kiva ends the show, a deep-sea slow-burner for fans of Shackleton and Pinch. Rupture and Shadetek's effortlessly original productions showcase the finest in American dubstep. Tunes have DJ-friendly intros and are cut hot and heavy at 45 RPM. This is the first of a 12" series from the Agriculture, committed to pushing cosmopolitan bass sounds from Brooklyn rooftops to the world.
