Podcast 170: DJ Food & DK vs. Coldcut

• Words: Shawn Reynaldo

XLR8R has been reveling in Ninja Tune's 20th anniversary all month long, and tonight the celebration steps up a notch with the Ninja Tune XX event in New York, to be followed this weekend by the equally enormous San Francisco and Los Angeles parties. To help ramp everyone up ahead of time, we're also sharing the final installment of our special Ninja Tune XX podcast series, and it's a doozy. Label founders Coldcut have teamed up with old-school Ninja Tune acts DJ Food and DK to assemble this massive mix which spans Ninja Tune's extensive discography. Over the course of 70-plus minutes and more than 40 tracks, the Solid Steel veterans touch on the many eras, sounds, and styles of the venerable label's diverse history.
