1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

I'm Strictly Kev aka DJ Food, I've been DJing for over 30 years now and collecting vinyl for longer. I've no idea how many records I have but it's probably in the region of 10,000 7", 12" and LPs plus lots of other odd formats that I collect as well as just the music. It's housed in my studio in custom built shelves that include drawers for 45s, cassettes and CDs. There's a fairly extensive article with photos on the Dust & Grooves website with a special mix of my musical influences http://www.dustandgrooves.com/djfood/


2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.

I like that the songs are short and sweet, there's no chaff so the track says what it needs to and then it's done, which is essentially what a DJ needs in today's ADD society. I like the size and weight of them compared to 12"s and LPs because I've used digital means to DJ for 8 years now and, when I do go back and play vinyl, I don't want to break my back like I used to lugging a 30 kilo record box around. 

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

There's a lot of guitars, fuzz and distortion in this one, lots of solid drums too, I'm really digging a lot of the funkier side of rock and psyche in my 45 sets and this comes out here.  Some of it is where rock and electronica cross over though so you'll have DJ Shadow remixing John Spencer Blues Explosion, Brendan Lynch's dub mixes of Paul Weller or Graham Massey's Toolshed project. There's also straight up rock by The Zutons, The Go! Team or Primal Scream and more diggers delights like The Protein Bros, Chaps and Alan Copeland. I try and have a good mix of contemporary stuff in there too, the 45 format shouldn't always be about old, hard to find stuff from the 60s and 70s, there's plenty of great new music around, just as hard to find too.

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music? 

My Mixcloud is a good place to start https://www.mixcloud.com/strictlykev/ and I've also contributed to Coldcut's weekly Solid Steel radio show for over 20 years now, some of which are archived here on Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/ninja-tune/sets/dj-food

45/7 #20 ARTIST: STRICTLY KEV aka DJ FOOD

Bristol’s finest -The Allergies, are back with a phenomenal new double A-side with both cuts featuring the instantly recognisable vocal skills of Andy Cooper – one of the brains behind US undergound Hip Hop legends Ugly Duckling.

Rock Rock is the most tongue twisting lyrical showcase you’ve heard since Blackalicious penned Alphabet Aerobics. Andy Cooper’s audacious rap races through an impressive array of language without missing a beat. But his talent doesn't stop at MCing. He co-produced this track with the boys. 

Golden age Hip Hop is order of the day in the second track- Blast Off. With more vocal skills from Cooper, a bouncing groove and dope turntable cuts and samples taking you back to the early 90’s heyday of the genre.

Two future classic cuts in one awesome release that will be available on both 7inch and digital formats. Pre order your 7 inch now! 

Rock Rock feat. Andy Cooper
