Release.Info :
On paper, the mixes made by the likes of internationally-minded DJs like Jace
æDJ /RuptureÆ Clayton and fellow Brooklynite Matt Shadetek look like they should
be a jarring listen, full of tempo confusion and stark stylistic shifts.
But much like the pairsÆ earlier offerings ûRuptureÆs game-changing 2001 CD mix
Gold Teeth Thief or Team ShadetekÆs grime/dancehall/crunk hybrids û this new
collaborative effort covers a lot of ground with ingenuity.
ThereÆs no muddled beat-matching or lazy mash-ups here: Solar Life Raft succeeds
in its global scope because Rupture and Shadetek have a talent for melting
borders, blending disparate sounds together with a subtle flourish that elevates
their mixes above petty border concerns.
Things commence on a dub foot, with the double-whammy of TimeblindÆs Space Cadet
and Matt ShadetekÆs own For the Souls, slow-skanking dubstep pitted with
echoed-out horns. Following is For the Souls, a Shadetek-produced cut of
world-weary reggae from Brooklyn vocalist Jahdan Blakkamore. But then, an
instrumental edit of Gang Gang DanceÆs quasi-Arabic dance tune Bebey takes a
left turn through a heaving bazaar, and a 30-second snippet of Finnish folk
collective Paavoharju seems placed just so you can catch your breath before the
bass drops again.
Plot all these maneuvers on a map and it looks bewildering, but itÆs really not;
once your ears accumulate, itÆs quickly clear that trainspotting the provenance
of the sounds is less important that simply locking into the duoÆs shared
mindset.
If there is a bedrock here, itÆs dub û dub, but more specifically the way that
dub and other Afro-Caribbean sounds have slowly leaked into all manner of global
urban musics. WhatÆs particularly appealing, though, is the way Solar Life Raft
happily is happy to lose its thread for strange and appealing diversions: take
Nico MuhlyÆs Mothertongue Pt 1, in which a female choir chants wordlessly,
voices babbling like a stream, or More Pets, which finds French-Norwegian poet
Caroline Bergvall talking cats, canaries and turtles over slow-building minimal
rhythms.
ItÆs a mix thatÆs never predictable, full of surprises, and engaging from start
to close.
