BEATS
Along with the greats GRANDMASTER FLASH, STEINSKI and JAZZY JEFF, there is one DJ from North London commandeering the cut n paste fight – the irreplaceable, definitive hip hop protagonist, DJ Yoda.
His combined loves of quirky pop music and 90s hip hop became fused and intertwined on home-made demo mixtapes. They eventually caused such a stir on the underground hustle – by the year 2000, over 5,000 were being distributed around the country - that it caught the attention of ANTIDOTE RECORDS, through whom he released three consecutive volumes of an official mixtape series titled ‘How To Cut & Paste.’ Entertaining, sentimental, kitsch and musically unbound, the mixtape series brought an accessible sense of humour to what had essentially become the serious, elitist world of hip hop.
While Yoda continues to battle the constrictions of genres and tight-lipped conformists with his DJ sets around the world, he keeps busy with each finger in a different pie: producing, compiling A/V shows, writing, even more surprising mixtapes and, even projects as unexpected as classical music!
Yoda provides a fusion of old meets new, pulling together beats, bass and sounds from streets around the world – from London to Brazil to Jamaica to Baltimore. With New Jack Swing giving Baltimore house a twirl, MINNIE RIPPERTON grabbing drum’n’bass by the hand, SALT N PEPA getting down with Baile Funk and dubstep grinding up next to LORD KITCHENER, DJ Yoda brings it all together for some straight up fun times.
“This mix is unique for me. After all these years and all the mixes I’ve done, this is the first mix that’s actually representative of what I do in a club…” DJ YODA
