John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

DJ Rupture first appeared on Peel show playlists in 2001, when the breakthrough “Gold Teeth Thief" mixtape was put out in Spain by Soot Records, and subsequent releases continued to receive airtime on late-night R1. Singles and albums by DJ Rupture appeared in the monthly Peel's Record Box selections for the BBC website in December 2001, September 2002 and August 2004.

According to Sheila Ravenscroft in Margrave Of The Marshes (hardback, pg372), DJ Rupture’s set at the BBC in October 2002 was among Peel’s favourite live Maida Vale sessions, alongside those of such illustrious names as Jeff Mills, Melt-Banana and the White Stripes. Earlier the same year, JP had broadcast DJ Rupture’s live set at the Sonar festival.

Peel also featured alongside the US artist, who deployed three turntables at live performances, on the lineup of the "Tryptych 04" event in Edinburgh.[2] In 2008, ahead of another UK tour, DJ Rupture wrote on his blog:

"People actually care about music in Britian, it’s crazy. I think it’s partly John Peel’s fault." [3]
