DJ Vadim featuring DJ Woody ‎– Lettuce Propelled Rockets (2005)

Back in the late 90's we were touring in N. America and Japan a lot and mixtapes were a small, cheap piece of merchandise to sell at shows so I put this collection together. Using scraps of turntable jams from Stealth, Solid Steel and various other gigs we'd been recording over the preceding years as well as answerphone messages and other miscellanea, this ramshackle collection resulted.
It's all live, virtually all improvised, there are mistakes, needle skips, sloppy scratches and bad sound quality (sound sources were from cassette or portable DAT generally). There were possibly around 500 copies made but I only had one myself. The audio for this rip was taken from the master DAT though and EQ'd and balanced in places to make it a nicer listen. The cover image of a John Coltrane painting was taken in Tortoise's kitchen in Chicago, one Sunday on a day off when PC and I were there with Bundy K Brown, hence the title.Sunday At Bundy's - DJ Food's Audio Scrapbook (side A.)

Tracklist:
1/ Starter  - (Liquid Rooms - Tokyo Nov '96) 
2/ Words I Manifest - (Liquid Rooms - Tokyo Nov '96)
3/ Here We Go, Are You Ready For Another? - (Stealth - Blue Note Dec '95)
4/ Ge' Down - (Krush & Food - Osaka Nov '96) 
5/ Don't Push Me! - (Koln '95)
6/ Give The D.J A Breakfast - (Liquid Rooms - Tokyo Nov '96)
7/ Electro Inferno - (Liquid Rooms - Tokyo Nov '96)
8/ Squarepusher vs. Strictly Pt.2 - (Solid Steel Dec '95)
9/ Crank This Mother - (Osaka Nov '96) 
10/ Idle Banter (Warwick '95)

DJ Food - Sunday at Bundy's (Side A.)

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.
