So is Uproot totally unheard in the UK? It seems like it has done pretty well here in the states (or at least in SF and on the web).

It was funny to me because I thought the initial post was like a diatribe against boring artist top 10 lists and then he goes and does a boring artist top 10 list.
But I was wrong. Milton Parker pointed out to me that I just misread the initial post. And, btw "misread" is really "didn't really read"
I took back my LOL like two posts down.

just followed him on twitter. rupture's one of the most interesting, thoughtful artists around.

i saw him live & the girls i brought were bored \oO/ all the dudes were excited to hear joy orbison out tho

lol he played live here last month & totally killed it - even girls seemed to like it

the girls i brought preferred the opening dj who was playing more danceable ish like in this vein https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSgcOuh9j7Y

I find his live sets pretty hit or miss. His mixtapes are much more consistent--although Solar Life Raft was a bit draggy compared to his better ones.

Then there are the hardcore music fans with a reasonably well-paying day job, honorable folks who actually purchase CDs by artists they like. These same people probably vote regularly in local and national elections, and if their savings aren't tucked away in some sensible investment portfolio yet, they will be soon.
...spot on, unsurprisingly.

i saw him dj recently and thought he was really good - afraid i was too busy dancing to work out the gender breakdown of the rest of the dancefloor
― c sharp major, Thursday, 16 December 2010 16:00 (thirteen years ago) link
will try better next time
so eye-rolly when ppl act like im saying that NO ONE WAS DANCING -- IT WAS QUIET AS A STUDY HALL
obv music nerds who know who dj rupture is & are feeling the latest in dubstep tracks blended into reggaeton into night slugs or w/e are gonna be feeling it .... girls or guys ... just sayin, i invited some girls & was like "yeah the dj is a big deal / covered in nyer / travels all over the world" etc. & then they were having fun when the 1st guy was on playing some populist dance ish, then when rupture came on w/ his world music thing it just didnt feel like he was maintaining the vibe & he lost folks who werent already in it
i guess the gender thing is a BIT of a troll -- i mean, i thought his mix was 'interesting,' musically, but as a dancer it didnt really hold my attention either
― *plop*ism rules (deej), Thursday, 16 December 2010 16:38 (thirteen years ago) link
the ppl i invited werent 'music nerds' theyre, like, elementary school teachers who like going out to dance on weekends & if you cant see why rupture wouldnt appeal to ppl who dont really care about how many difft countries hes sampling then yr being intentionally obtuse imo
― *plop*ism rules (deej), Thursday, 16 December 2010 16:40 (thirteen years ago) link
it was the dubstep stuff that toally lost them -- that stuff is, like, hard work to dance to! you have to be invested in that kind of groove -- its alienating
― *plop*ism rules (deej), Thursday, 16 December 2010 16:41 (thirteen years ago) link
is funny that a lot of djs seem to think dubstep-based stuff is malleable enough to mix up with other stuff (i think in many cases it is) when as you say it can be as 'alienating' as angry dnb

well it raises the question of whether dude wants to be an "everybody fun time" dj or a guy who's being , i guess, a bit more didactic with his dj sets? i don't really have an opinion either way, i do hate it when djs ignore what the crowd clearly wants, but at the same time i can see that /rupture is on a bit of a different mission
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Thursday, 16 December 2010 16:45 (thirteen years ago) link
i mean thats the hard part about DJing! ppl venerate harvey partly because he'll spin a set where you know zero tracks but he sequences/selects so well that it doesnt matter ... thats incredibly hard to do
― *plop*ism rules (deej), Thursday, 16 December 2010 16:47 (thirteen years ago) link
fair point!
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Thursday, 16 December 2010 16:49 (thirteen years ago) link
i mean its fine if rupture wants to spin for rupture fans -- i just felt a lil sheepish inviting ppl who arent really into that kind of thing like "you guys will have a good time" & then they're all like :-/
― *plop*ism rules (deej), Thursday, 16 December 2010 16:49 (thirteen years ago) link
i'm not sure i'd take that sort of casual dancer to a dj rupture show?
also clowning dubstep for being ~DIFFICULT~ music that only BOY NERDS are into doesn't work when, y'know, we get top 10 dubstep hits these days

i think for my personal taste the combination of eclecticism w/out the sparks of a, like, common aesthetic net (like balaeric or quiet storm or...etc) with obscurity make his sets harder to dance to for extended periods ... if he stuck w/ obscurity but kept a common groove (an all-uk funky set or w/e), or if he was all over the place but was dropping in more cheese/pop remixes (& the occasional wu sample sorta has the opposite effect, i think), then it would feel more 'balanced' for the kind of set i like to go out & dance all nite to
but otoh i do think his sets are interesting/educational. damning w/ faint praise maybe, but im serious about not being bored -- just not really feeling compelled to dance

naw i felt kinda the same way when i saw him...

haa. id think the 'casual dancer' is the guy downloading dubstep shows & checking out rupture live at the empty bottle, not the teachers who go dancing at evil olive every weekend
but that jab aside i know what you mean & i realize that now -- i guess i just had been given a diff impression abt his sets
