No, not a thread on the diet of our fave music peeps but rather that Ninjatunes guy who p[layed here on Sunday night and reall led us down the garden pathn with some serious eclectic music.
In 3 hours he went from hiphop, funk, regge, groove, grime <- yep..he defo played some bootyliscious Grime, indie, bigbeat, breakbeat to techno. He built up an amazing set spanning totally different genres with litttle spinkles of familar riffs here and there - hendrix, james brwn etc.
He amazingly finished up on almost Hellfish-type gabba techno with a track called "pendulum" by i don't-know-who, that absolutely ripped the place apart. AWESOME. I hadn;'t dance that hard since...... for ages....
not exactly IDM but highly recomended....

The DJ Food duo (PC and Strickly Kev) has been using compooters to mix for years. Was he REALLY doing it live????

Food started as Coldcut's sideproject. Then over the years they took on two others & collaborated as a foursome on a couple of LPs.
Then Coldcut decided to stick with their own name for releases & handed the mantle on to their collaborators.
So it's 2 entirely different fellers now to when it started.

live..... vinyl. yes. he scrathed, FX'd, re-BPM'd and all the usually deck-foolery.
he held up that last record cover for evryone to see and all i could make out was "pendulum". its was a fucking banging track..... something AFX would play to get the crown frothed right up!

i saw coldcut at big chill 2003, was quite cool. they had a visual of a drum kit and other instruments, with everything animating when it played in the song. generally i found them a bit cheesy though.

yeah, it was a bit cheesy in places. but it entertained the crowd. and i think it's only cheesy because what they do has been lifted by so many others.
it's easy to forget that they were the first to do a lot of these things, in this country at least.
what they pioneered has been copied now by so many others it's virtually cliché.

I saw dj food at homelands last year, it was almost worth wondering amongst the dickheads to see him play.
Very eclectic indeed! Some guy stood next to me said "it's a bit retro" well he wasd playing like some 60's 70's funk and soul at the time so you know...
Fucking excellent though! He has the mixing skills.
