DJ / rupture Collides with Planetarium
Posted by Alex_Pasternack on Tuesday, Nov 17, 2009
It was so right that DJ/rupture took over New York’s Museum of Natural History on Friday the 13th, part of the One Step Beyond series (not to be confused with the trippy ’60s TV show#). Rocking a crowd of eager, clean-soled hipsters beneath the hanging sphere of the Rose Planetarium wasn’t just a good look for the boundary-wrecking turntablist. His music is downright spacey! Get it? And not just spacey, but, along with his rainbow of co-conspirators that night, Matt Shadetek and Jahdan Blakkamoore, Maluca and Sonido Martines, universal. Ha! If we weren’t so into Rupture’s mix, we might have been more unsettled by the sight of beer bottles and bananas littered about those kid-friendly displays on the chemistry of the universe.
Before it was all over, we stumbled into the planetarium for the midnight show, just in time to watch the Moon being formed from the Earth’s geologic detritus, and enjoy the roar of the drunken audience’s cheers as Earth narrowly survived an astroid collision. Watching the universe unfold anew with a crowd of excited 20 and 30 somethings was just as magical as our first 3rd grade field trips, plus I had a Budweiser for a juice box.
Too bad we all had to file out at 1 AM. What was this, a museum or something?

Is all the juicebox talk in reference to the Friends episode where Ross rolls over one? I swear that's the only episode I've ever seen.

Sounds great but I despise those metal Bud bottles. They always sell them at ballgames and they just piss me off. I don't know why. I really think they taste different than glass.
