Coldcut offer up a mix that is in a similar vein to their outstanding Journeys By DJ's mix. Flitting between chilled hip hop beats, mad experimental electronic, crazy jazz and funk, right up to blissed out intelligent drum and bass. A proper journey featuring all the big Ninja names. Its not so much the tracks themselves (since some can only get a minute or two to shine) but the way they're layered and mixed together in big Coldcut melting pot. Classy.
If thats not enough, you get Japanese master DJ Krush providing his take on the past of Ninja. You get quite alot of London Funk Allstars and DJ Vadim on his mix, but where Krush shines is that he manages to make the tracks sound like they have come from his own masterful touch. The little echoing scratchings, the deep dark mood of the entire mix, the vision of the sonic journey that he creates. Its hard to tell where the track ends and DJ Krush begins. Sign of a true master.
Don't just pass this by as 'just another Ninja compilation', it stands out in its own right as something special. All those who have like the JDJ mix or indeed fans of DJ Shadow and the Mo'Wax sound should give this a try. Top mix.
The Coldcut / DJ Food cd is a little more up beat but not much, again nice and smooth, a perfect sunday morning after a club but don't want to listen to bland 4/4 beats house music cos you're bored with it kind of cd.
Buy it and enjoy
