Grant Phabao & Djouls - Ninja Tune - 20 Years of Remixes & Re-interpretations (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2010-08-10 Lots of stuff are happening for the celebration of the last 20 years of musical activism from the english label Ninja Tune. A huge boxset is on its way for september, with LOTS of new music. There are parties coming up everywhere, and french magazine Trax has just released a special (Ninja Tune 20 Ans...), for which I've been asked to write 3 articles.

The Cinematic Orchestra - All That You Give
(12"/CDS) Ninja Tune ZEN12103/ZENCDS103, 2002-04-22

In this time of spin, flim-flammery and hyperbole, where press releases constantly proclaim every tired re-tread a masterpiece and ‘originality' means wearing different clothes in your video, it's easy to get cynical. Sometimes it's necessary, even, otherwise you might expire in a frenzy of puff and hard sell. So you shut up in your shell and sneer at it all and that in its own way, feels pretty good. But every so often you see something, read something or hear something which lives up to or even exceeds all the bluster. And then, somehow, it feels even sweeter. "All That You Give," the first single from The Cinematic Orchestra's new album, "Everyday," is one of those moments - an instant classic, one of the most heartfelt and moving songs you'll hear - not just this week, month or year. Like Billie Holliday's "Lover Man" colliding with "Unfinished Sympathy," it's a piece of music that's both fantastically lush and searingly minimal. That - more than anything else - rings true.

Dj Food - Refried Food
(6x12"/CD) Ninja Tune ZEN21/ZENCD21, 1996-02-19

Classic Food cuts remixed by : The Angel, Autechre, Ashley Beedle, DJ Food, Dr. Rockit, Fila Brazilia, The Herbaliser, MLO, Skint, Squarepusher, Tongue & Groove, Wagon Christ.

Info :
Et puis après, on vous fait le coup du remix! Un album entier de remixes fait par des gens qui n'officient pas forcément chez Ninja Tune: en voilà une idée qu'elle est bonne! Que cela soit le "Scratch yer hed" bien jungle de Squarepusher ou bien "Mella" par The Herbaliser, les 14 titres présentés ici sont quatorzes raisons d'avoir cet album de remixes. Six années de Dj Food sont déformées dans tous les sens par des gens comme Autechre, Squarepusher, Matt Herbert, Luke Vibert, Damian Harris.... Passant par "Recipe For Disaster" et les anciens et un peu introuvables "Jazz Brakes Vol. 2, 4, et 5", ce "Refried Food" n'a justement pas un goût de réchauffé!
