This week on Sound Advice, Coldcut’s Matt Black reflects on 35 years of the iconic Ninja Tune record label, home to artists like BICEP, Bonobo, Barry Can’t Swim, ODESZA, Floating Points and more. Ninja Tune was founded in 1990 by Coldcut: pioneering artists in turntablism and trip-hop who have influenced generations.

In this exclusive interview, we speak with co-founder Matt Black about how they’ve stayed independent without compromising the label’s foundational ethos. Black shares insights on technology and adaptability, creative freedom and his vision of building a sustainable future for music and the planet. Plus, hear Black’s invaluable advice for building community in today’s ever-evolving digital and cultural landscape.
