DJ Food & DK – That is the sound of ground being broken

For years I wondered who made the excellent drum and bass mix of The Beat’s Mirror in the Bathroom that Pete Juxtaposeur played in SF and on Radio Clash several times – might have been told ages ago but never tagged it, nor credited the people….finally found out who – it’s DJ Food & DK, originally done I think for a Solid Steel show, and their Solid Steel ‘Now Listen’ mix (must get a copy), but I found an excellent VJ mix they do live with Scratch-Live and Video-SL. Amazing stuff – and the mashup appears 35:43 in…it’s The Beat vs Mask – Square Off, and is the best Mirror in the Bathroom mashup ever, all other versions are pretenders. And is a total CHOON.

Wish there was a full longer version…I was going to create a video for this as I was surprised it’s not on YouTube but DJ Food and DK have done it already 😀

P.S. Interestingly the next bit – 2001 was a VJ standby of mine back in the day, and The Powers of Ten footage is interesting timing since it might be also used in a project I’m working on 😉 Also I’m looking at VJ softwares as possibly moving into that direction, so interesting to see what Scratch-Live can do – does it mix video live (ie. a video for BOTH sources, or just 1 vid per tune – so you have to premake your mashup vids? If it’s the former that’s more what I want to do, mix multiple sources).

Also having listened to the whole vid (I was at work so watching was a bit impossible) the other OMFG bit is at 23 mins in – Santogold – Say Aha (Tepr Remix) vs The Qemists Feat Wiley – Dem Na Like Me (accapella) – sheer DJ Food/DK brilliance. And I hate Wiley AND Santogold and they, along with TEPR made me care! I’d love a proper mixable long version of that, it’s brill.

And to see how DJ Food (is that just Strictly Kev now?) and DK does it live for this amazing vid from Videocrash in 2008…

    Now Listen is one of my favourite DJ mix CDs ever. I actually prefer it to Coldcut’s JDJ which is argued by many to be the greatest.
    The Beat section is obviously terrific, but there are other gems like Leonard Nimoy’s reading of Ray Bradbury over the Taking of Pelham 123. Just great and one of the biggest influences toward my podcasts.
