DJ Yoda - Cut & Paste, Country & Western Edition

she aint sure if i really like her
or if im just single and the pain hurt
feel like i do but i just bout confused as you
wish you would come here so i dont have to long for you

i think about you and i think that you the one too
i done felt that way before so think it is true
and i like you but not main reason that i need you
cant be alone hold me first then get to know you


wakin up aint no fun 
when i feel i need a gun
just to kill the shit thats burdened on me
when will shit be done

even when theres nothing wrong
i would rather just be gone
i dont feel like a person when no substance brings the funk

thinkin like im having parties
dancing with the barbies
nah im just not full of dread
so i can sit and not be

feeling like my enemy
not twitch and feel nutty
shut the paranoia down relax
and just be funny


dont think they understand what this really mean
compared to me i say you are living the dream
i try to be without my needs and see if i can breathe
shit a year passed by and i aint even made a peep

so its back on that dope again
not fixed but im goin again
gotta make my moves i cant be waiting for no doctor man

none of this shit gonna work
future shows nothing but dirt
i aint going out just like the rest
its time to claim my worth


babygirl tell me will it be the same thing
talk for months act in love then you replace me
swear youre down for life but so did she and she and she
i dont wanna waste my time im getting old, its late

stash ready for the moment that its ending
happy while it lasts but brace before the landing
pupils tiny heart beat funny saving me from drowning
just to show up in life and not be alone and frowning

half - yeah its what i need to talk to you
i took to much and now i bother you

shit i guess thats how it all turns out
hits of the glue the last rescue so you dont hear me shoot

Turntablist Extraordinaire @dj-yoda-uk graced the Rabbit Hole's 'FUNKINGHAM PALACE' - performing a bespoke 'GET DOWN  DJ SET' filled with Funk / Hip-Hop and lots of samples!

"Here's a live recording of my set at Glastonbury 2017, keeping it pretty tightly themed to The Get Down - i.e. early 1980s NYC block party music! This was great fun - loved sticking to the theme, and by 20 minutes in it felt more like we were in the Bronx in 1984 by than a tent in a field in Somerset! Excuse some of the dodgy mixing moments, this was all live! Enjoy, and wear full adidas tracksuit to appreciate entirely  :) "

DJ YODA (THE GET DOWN DJ SET)- Live from The Rabbit Hole's 'Funkingham Palace' - June 2017

James Brown for me is the biggest influence in my career!
The first record I ever owned was A James Brown 7”  on People Records "Breakin Bread".

I started collecting all things James Brown related and simply became obsessed with the JB groove. He really was an incredible character but unfortunately passed away in 2006 on Christmas Day, so I felt this was the perfect time to pay tribute to the Godfather of Soul & Funk. This mix encompasses a mixture of James Brown and his Funky People: Fred Wesley, Marva Whitney, Lyn Collins, Hank Ballard, Maceo Parker, The JB’s and more. Without doubt the hardest working man in show business, he toured the world constantly with his band and dancers, performed to millions bringing the Funk to the masses. Who would think back in the 60’s & 70’s that his music would be sampled and be the backbone of Hip Hop,music. The influence his music has had on so many peoples lives is extraordinary and without James Brown and his Funky people I don’t think Hip Hop and even Dance music would be the same. Thank you James RIP the original Funk Soul Brother!

Turntablism: The art of manipulating the sounds on records to create new music.

In the early 90s Hip Hop DJs often found themselves taking a back seat while rappers had the spotlight, but behind the scenes they continued to push the boundaries. By the mid-90s scratching and beat juggling had been taken to a whole new level, enabling turntablist DJs to take centre stage - because what they were doing was completely mind blowing! The world DMC and ITF championships helped to give turntablism a global platform, so for any up and coming DJ learning to scratch, it was an inspirational time. During that period you could argue turntablism redefined the element of DJing as the corner stone of Hip Hop culture. Around 2002 digital DJ equipment like Traktor and Serato became very popular, and nowadays you rarely see turntablists rocking DJ battle sets on a pair of decks with real records. Thats not to say they can’t tear shit up, it’s just the equipment is different. In terms of the golden era of turntablism though, this mix represents where it’s at. Hope you enjoy. Peace.
