DJ Food: Raiding the 20th Century
DJ Food's Strictly Kev has always been one of the foremost proprietors of cut-up music, so who better to serve up a brief history of the tradition than the orignal chef himself. Today's post, which will only be up for a week due to the size of the download and the bandwith I am sure to eat up by mirroring this mix, is absolute historical record. It is the blood and sweat, passion and obsession, that Kev has always translated in his mixes and live sets, and surely represents the most complete record of cut-ups (mash ups, tape manipulation, turntable megamixes) that I have been priveleged to listen to. If that's not a compelling reason to listen, then check out the complete track listing which is sure to blow your mind whether you write for Wax Poetics or not. It is simply awesome, a record of old and new, released and unreleased tracks, that will vault this mix into the even more obscure pantheon of legendary mixes . The version currently available here, which differs from the original aired on his radio show, includes additional vocal passages from Paul Morley's recently publlished "Words and Music" as read by the author himself.
