Sorry, I generally really like /rupture and his mixes, but that one struck me as being filled with pretty ho hum tracks.

Nicely sharing all of his major (minus the 58.46 one) mixes from 2001-2012:

This stuff still sounds fresh to my ears after all these years.

genuinely the most teeth rattling bass i've ever experienced was Rupture at Primavera a few years back. I was way too hungover to deal with it. Remember he played some Four Tops remix that was very sick

I think his remarks could withstand some more discussion. I don't see anyone saying it in this thread but I'm sure it's been said here before, if not by me then someone else. The LP is a format designed primarily for marketing purposes. It is a way to tack on extra value to a collection of singles, basically. It's also very limited by physical constraints.
Sure some artists manage to break out of the limitations of this format but increasingly few, I'd say 99.9% of albums contain a significant amount of filler. I guess I do have an issue with ADD because I find it really hard to take anymore. I'd rather hear 10 original songs with unique perspectives from 10 artists than 10 songs by 1 artist, with 8 of them being a watered-down rehash of the original concept. I've listened to a total of maybe 2 albums this year honestly. One would probably get some love from fans of /rupture -- Romanian Dan Habarnam's uniquely heavy and cosmic take on minimalist bass music, released on dBridge's exit records. And of course the other one was Jiaolong.
So...any recommendations on top mixes to check out from what /rupture is offering? Thanks for putting those up.

Gold Teeth Thief and Uproot are the "famous" ones. I like Minesweeper Suite and Porque Soy Sonidero Y Voy A Muchos Lugares a lot too.

...in honour of the original post, we should probably rank all the mixes...

Gold Teeth Thief was pretty formative for me, and later on I listened to Uproot & Solar Life Raft a bunch when they came out. Change the Mood is a dope 2012 club set, and has the most personal association for me (there's a great remix of one of my tracks on there for one). Looking forward to going through some of the ones I've missed.

Alright in order of personal preference:
Gold Teeth ThiefPorque Soy Sonidero Y Voy A Muchos LugaresMinesweeper Suite58.46 Mix (not available on the site because apparently Jace doesn't love it)Uproot2004 Post-Election Mix (also not on the site)Low Income TomorrowlandBidoun Sessions (Mutamussik mix on same CD just below Minesweeper Suite for me though)Secret Google Cheat CodesCumbia Mix for BBC1Solar Life Raft
Everything up to Secret Google Cheat Codes is excellent and got quite a bit of play. The 2011-12 mixes I don't much recall. I have some other things of his (a great hour long set from Maida Vale from 2002, a 90 minute one for Resonance FM from 2004, a live set from 2005 I think, 3 hours of ambient mixes he did for a WFMU giveaway) that are all worthwhile as while. And his WFMU radio show (despite me no longer having the time/energy to listen much to it) is generally great too.

#6 Problem number six: why start & stop at music? I want to see anybody's Top 10 Scary Pieces of Legislation Passed in 2004. Or the Top 10 Non-imaginary Threats to Healthy Democracies in 2004.
