Coldcut - 70 minutes of madness

This is an amalgam of two mixes I did for Solid Steel at the end of November, 2013. Both were 30 minutes and with a similar downbeat, electronic nature. It's the sort of thing I like to listen to late at night when I'm working on designs or writing. Both appeared on separate shows but were done around the same time so I wanted to present them in one piece like this.

A Little Night Music...

2013 Resident Mix of the Year goes to 'Coldcut meets The Orb - The Return Trip', which was the first show to properly kick off our 25th Anniversary year..............

Recorded on the anniversary of JFK's assassination and 21 years after their historic '92 New Year mix on Kiss 100 FM, Coldcut meets The Orb inna Uptown Youth House for the Return Trip. Matt Black and Jonathan More alongside studio accomplice Dor Wand got suitably enhanced with Dr LX Paterson and Youth for a multi-player late night jam session lasting over 3 hours. They then entrusted the multitracks of the set to DJ Food who heroically edited, condensed and massaged the sprawling swamp of sound into a tight - but also loose - 2 hour Solid Steel session.

Swimming through the mix are Lee Perry, Killing Joke, Sun Ra, William Burroughs, Teebs, Ry Cooder, Actress, Prince Jammy, Iggy Pop, Monty Python, Hank Williams and Hal 9000. Alongside unreleased dubs from the players themselves, remixes and versions of tunes old and new, the complete track listing for this marathon set may never be fullly disclosed. It's 2 hours, 10 minutes of sonic secrets to melt your mind, probably best listened to in headphones late at night with all suitable facilities for the full effect. Enjoy this trip.

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
You can find out where I'm playing by checking my dates on www.djfood.org

Mr Scruff DJ set, Manchester Band on the Wall, Saturday 3rd December 2016

I do these hour long mixes every year or so featuring cover versions, sample-heavy tracks or songs that obviously owe a debt to the Dusseldorf quartet. Each mix is laced with spoken word, interviews or info about Kraftwerk too. This one is from 14/12/07 and was originally aired on Solid Steel.
I had the idea several years ago and the more I dug, the more I found, the amount of material out there is mind boggling. Not so strange for such an influential band who rarely release new material I suppose, fans have to fill the gap somehow. 
I'll be uploading the previous 4 volumes in 2012, Volume 6 is already on here and I have vol.7 planned out and waiting for a gap in the schedule to put together

Kraftwerk Kover Kollection Vol.7

To coincide with the launch of the documentary celebrating the history of the legendary Mo' Wax Records, we asked one of our favourite Montreal DJs, Phil Larochelle, to dive into the back catalogue and record a session consisting of his all-time favourites. 

The imprint founded in 1992 by James Lavelle was home to the some of the forward-thinking genre-defying beats. From DJ Krush to DJ Shadow, Motorbass to Unkle, the label was a melting-pot of Jazz, Hip Hop, Breaks, Trip Hop, Electronica and whatever else artists felt like putting on a slice of wax.

Here we go, 80 minutes strictly for the HEADZ!

Strictly Kev aka DJ Food aka Openmind - Music producer, DJ and Graphic Designer. I've worked with and for Ninja Tune since 1993, designing covers, mixing radio shows and producing records as well as touring the world DJing. 

I am not a DJ. 
I am not a producer.
 I am not a musician. 
I am a just only listener.

The list is made for my own use.
Of course, it's good to get like and use it.
But my ideal is for you to make a list based on my list.
