You Don't Know - Ninja Cuts
Ninja Tune
BEATS
You know Ninja Tune and everything about them and exactly the type of music they put out and why and it’s, y’know, cool and everything but… Well, you don’t. The latest ‘Ninja Cuts’ is number five in a series of classic compilations which have studded Ninja’s 18 years of existence.
Glancing back and looking forward this compilation highlights where the label has been and where it’s heading, across 3 massive CDs, ‘You Dont Know: Ninja Cuts’ features classic tracks from Mike Ladd, Bigg Jus, Roots Manuva to unreleased treats from the likes of Mr Scruff, Cinematic Orchestra and Coldcut. Forthcoming future classics appear here; John Matthias delivers the fragile, ethereal “Evermore”, Pop Levi drops the superb and princely “Dita Dimone” and Baltimore’s (via Australia) The Death Set make an appearance with their brand of electro-pop-punk brattish joyfulness delivered in the form of “Around The World”. And if that wasn’t enough there’s a heap of remixers and contributors that run from Modeselektor, DJ Shadow, Tiga, RJD2 to the mighty Switch that make the cut on ‘You Don’t Know’
It’s fair to say most of this compilation contains rare, alternate and brand new tracks. More than anything else, what ‘You Don’t Know’ shows is the breadth of Ninja’s releases, the sheer ambition and diversity of the music being put out through the imprints of Ninja Tune, Big Dada and Counter..So now you know.
