Description:
DJ Food is not, as many imagine, one obese bloke behind the decks. It's a collaboration between Matt Black and Jonathan Moore--aka Coldcut and their studio wizard Patrick Carpenter, a jazz/hip-hop DJ. It began in 1990 with a series of experimental jazz sample albums, but has naturally progressed into using these breaks, beats and loops to create a unique hybrid genre of their own--fierce turntablism, incorporating electronic lounge music, abstract hip-hop and acid jazz. Refried Food is a collection of remixes of their first six years' singles and of their debut artist album A Recipe For Disaster. Fila Brazillia, Autechre, Square
DJ Food is not, as many imagine, one obese bloke behind the decks. It's a collaboration between Matt Black and Jonathan Moore--aka Coldcut and their studio wizard Patrick Carpenter, a jazz/hip-hop DJ. It began in 1990 with a series of experimental jazz sample albums, but has naturally progressed into using these breaks, beats and loops to create a unique hybrid genre of their own--fierce turntablism, incorporating electronic lounge music, abstract hip-hop and acid jazz. Refried Food is a collection of remixes of their first six years' singles and of their debut artist album A Recipe For Disaster. Fila Brazillia, Autechre, Squarepusher, Vadim, The Herbaliser, Ashley Beedle and more are let loose. Each transform the tracks in their own distinctive style--Dr Rockit's mix of "Half Step" is given his nerdy garden shed treatment; Tongue and Groove transform "Spiral" into dense drum and bass. Occasionally, it seems a little soulless, a competition to out-mix each others technical tricks, but mostly it's excellent. --Sarah Champion
