DJ /rupture is the pseudonym of Jace Clayton, a New York-based breakcore producer and DJ. He used to play in the drum and bass collective Toneburst, and DJ'ed in Boston during the late 1990s. His standard setup involves three turntables, on which he creates complicated mixes?such as one with a cappella vocals, the second with a beats, and the third with ambient effects. DJ /rupture's first big break came in 2001 with Gold Teeth Thief, a mix which combines hip hop, ragga, breakcore, jungle, noise, modern classical and music from around the globe. His second mixtape Minesweeper Suite was an even greater success, with the UK music magazine The Wire calling it one of the 10 best records of 2002. A year later, /rupture produced Special Gunpowder, his most critically acclaimed album to date. He has appeared on John Peel's BBC radio show twice, in addition to playing on The Breezeblock. /rupture is also part
