Oh Dark Knight!  Where have you been??? Oh for the good old days of resident SS DJs... you, Kev, Moneyshot et al.  Why do they insist on playing all these tedious pretenders when you clearly have the hottest, banginist record bag in the country.

And, what's more, all this shit is in the Zen family anyway.  Why doesn't SS go back to being a Ninja platform + special guests?  Enough with trying to be clever and inclusive and just give us what we want FFS.

Give us Moneyshot, give us Parker, give us Irk, DK, Kev, Coldcut (Coldcut FFS!!!!) and all the other Ninja artists we love and f@$* all these other boring artists you keep giving a platform to who don't deserve it and are boring the fuck out of us poor listeners.

One wednesday night in august 2012 I did a Ninja Tune retrospective at Faktorý Bar, RVK, playing some of my favorite tunes by my favorite label. 
Mixed on the fly with little thought going into what comes after the other, this is music to sip Indian Pale Ale to, and or porters. I also sprinkled a few tunes from friend-labels into the mix. 
Good scratches are made by the respective artists and credited dj's, shitty ones by me, and sorry about my newly-discovered delay button.

In Hour 2, DJ Food continues with the same decade, but takes proceedings overground and compiles an hour of unofficial remixes, re-edits and versions of classic pop songs from the 80's, remodelled by fans or studio engineers with access to the separate track stems. What emerges is a collection of pop classics seen through a distorted looking glass, culled from the darkest corners of Soundcloud or the hard drives of engineers with access to audio they shouldn't have and time on their hands.
Depeche Mode remixed by a Hip Hop engineer, Tears For Fears cut to ribbons by a tape edit king, Bow Wow Wow and The Human League streamlined into a steady disco groove. Grace Jones' 'Slave To The Rhythm' gets three radically different make overs and then she covers Tubeway Army!

Solid Steel Radio Show 16/5/2014 Part 3 + 4 - DJ Food

Solid Steel (16th May)This week the show has a distinct 80's feel about it starting with a mix from Cut Chemist featuring remixes and songs from 'Funk Off', a compilation of music by 1980's French post punk, industrial, minimal collective Vox Populi! and Pacific 231. Cut Chemist discovered their material in 2004 while on tour/record digging in Milan where he picked up a compilation featuring their track “Megamix”. Originally released in the 80s, the track was not rooted in disco, hip hop & DJ history but rather post punk and industrial influences. Music Concrete is what the collective would have perhaps described their approach at the time. “Wild Style on dust” was how Cut’s collaborator Tom Fitzgerald described it on hearing it 20 years later. Finding this record ultimately led to Cut Chemist tracking down the group, bonding over shared aesthetics and getting their blessing for this collection, which includes unreleased tracks, photographs and little-seen flyers and art from the group. The vinyl and CD are released in the UK on 9th June through A Stable Sound.
 
DK picks up the reigns in a similar vein, but starting with Illum Sphere's industrial edged Spectre Vex and then it's strictly 80's, including music from the UK that directly influenced Vox Populi, with tracks from Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire and A Certain Ratio. Music from New York also features with Liquid Liquid and Death Comet Crew featuring Rammellzee and Italy's version of Delia Derbyshire, synth wizard Doris Norton, plus the Francois Kevorkian produced collaboration between Jah Wobble and Holger Czukay.

90s Mix

The Gaslamp Killer - 90s Hip-Hop Mix

The Nextmen - Blunted in the Backroom - 192 kbps by Selecta Wayne - RSW

For this tenth and last episode of the CONNECT series we introduce the finest works by Arteforma and Nicolas Barnes.

Nicolas Barnes - Echo Rift

“Atmos Minimal – Second Wave” takes you deeper into the hypnotic world of minimal techno.  
This album blends rolling sub-bass, glitch textures, and atmospheric synth layers into immersive soundscapes designed for underground clubs, late-night drives, and focused listening.  

Each track carries its own pulse – from ghostly echoes to fractured signals, from static horizons to drifting subwaves. Together they form a cinematic journey through shadow and light, rhythm and silence.  

A continuation of the Atmos Minimal series, “Second Wave” delivers deep, meditative, and psychedelic techno energy for those who seek pure minimal sound.

Fuel The Fire

Fuel The Fire (Beau Wanzer Adjustment)

Hoj's EP on All Day I Dream has been a long time coming. After over 15 years as a DJ, this EP marks Hoj's official release. 

Telefade is a track that Hoj had been evolving for some time. After a final session with Modd, Hoj took the track to Burning Man where he played it for the first time. Lee Burridge heard it and signed the tune on the spot. Featuring haunting vocals from Amega.

The second track on the EP is called Leap Day, named for the day in 2016 that Hoj began it. Made for sunrises and sunsets, the tune weaves through lush melodies  with a bounce. Powel's delicate and refined touch brings a sophistication to Leap Day.

"Without a doubt the most technically-involved set I've ever been a part of.  Eight turntables, often all playing at once, with our feet controlling loop pedals.  We had toured versions of the set on and off for nearly two years, and by this point we were pretty much at our peak.  Cut and I have occasionally discussed doing another 45 set, but we always come back to the same conclusion: 'We'll never be able to top The Hard Sell!" - DJ Shadow

From The DJ Shadow Archives - DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist Live in Portland (July 2008)

Ninja Tune has established itself as one of the world’s leading independent record labels. Now a bonafide global music institution, synonymous with diverse, uncompromising releases and equally visionary artists—from breaking-through to GRAMMY-winning, internationally acclaimed acts—committed to pushing the boundaries of music.
