i think sometimes rupture is doing this; i don't find allowing a groove to roll to be inherently superior to setting one up only to fuck it up, or vice versa. to the first point, the first half of gold teeth thief seems to me to be completely danceable throughout, though you do have to shift the style a few times to keep up. i think on the larger level what rupture's better mixes are saying is that these extra-musical structures mirror the structure of dancing (or the dance-listener's activity) naturally; ie the crashy noisey jungly bits mirror when you hit a tune you can't help but keep turning up or the dj keeps amping things up at the crest of the night.
on the other hand i think rupture also knows and interacts with the fact that most people listening to his music are doing so while chained to their computers, driving around, sitting at home, etc; places where the implication of dance is pleasurable but the mind is also free to engage with the transitions, connections, and disconnections he creates.
that might be a bit of having it both ways but it's why i find him fascinating. the 'diaspora' stuff is a red herring, why shouldn't a dj reflect his own tastes?
on a musical note: that dabrye track is hot. it's a nice bite of dj quik's style with more bassy techno to it.

wow, is "mole in the ground" a cover (or - barf - an "interpolation") of the old folk song?

i really liked that last thing (the Rupture / Mutamussik split), but after a few listens, didn't like it anymore. i think it mostly had to do with the Mutamussik half?

I also wish these guys (Rhythm & Sound, /rupture, Bug) would just do whole albums with forgotten dancehall singers/deejays like Cornel Campbell, Cutty Ranks and Sister Nancy. It's a win-win people! These folks are way better than most of their vocal collaborators (excepting Rhythm & Sound who get pretty good talent all around) and I have no idea what Ranks and Nancy are doing these days, but I can't imagine they would chafe at the idea at making new fans (esp. since none of these folks has torn up the charts in Jamaica in years.)
