Notes
--------
The Bug & DJ /Rupture have declared turf war. In a volatile
face-off between two kinetically charged contemporary electronics
producers, this combination mash up, dancehall destruction, hip hop
malfunktion and structural deconstruction assures a suitably
intense future for soundclash battles. A thinly disguised audio
abattoir masquerading as a six-track EP, this explosive exchange
steals the tools of the dub and dancehall trade for maximum
disorientation. Weapons are set to stun, and artificial genre
divides are militantly blitzed.

"Imitator," a caustic collaboration by The Bug (aka Kevin Martin of
Techno Animal) with UK dub guru The Rootsman that triggers yardcore
chaos with hyper-ragga headrush, combines a relentless, military
snare roll worthy of the mighty Streetsweeper rhythm, power
electronics capable of drowning out Whitehouse, and an unfeasibly
elasticated bassline that would rival Mr. Oizo for booty-swinging
funk. It's got serrated, low-end punch and Daddy Freddy's homicidal
chants, while head-jamming special effects and ear-shredding sirens
amplify the panic attack. The stripped down "Version" illuminates
the dance floor directive while the Raw Meat mix of "Run The Place
Red" has Daddy Freddy at his most vicious and hardcore.

DJ /Rupture returns with three tracks as complex and compelling as
his jaw-dropping DJ sets. "Paloma Grease" is a high-speed
headbanger in his ruffneck reggae / R&B style. Electro sub-bass
weaves around his infectious, danceable drum programming, with
hip-hop breakdowns and light instrumentation rounding things. "Into
the Ohio River" and "Pitfall" feature poet Elizabeth Alexander, a
prominent young voice in black America's energetic literary scene,
whose topical, playful texts match the former track's slinky,
harmonic polyriddims and melodic IDM edits fused with Rupture's
otherworldly sampler arrangements. The latter draws on the
bass-heavy Jamaican minimalism of King Tubby's Firehouse-era
productions, catching Rupture in a relaxed but wary down-tempo
mood, perfect for fans of neo-dub such as Chain Reaction/Rhythm &
Sound. Alexander injects sexy wit with her poem loosely about the
M.O.V.E. incident in Philadelphia.
