Biography

Strictly Kev
Another Ninja now stepping out of the shadows after
years of steady DJing with Coldcut on numerous club
gigs and their weekly radio show 'Solid Steel!' Kev
met Matt Black at the 'Telepathic Fish' ambient
parties of the early 90's, started designing artwork
for Ninja Tune and paired up with PC to form the
public 'face' of DJ Food on 4 decks in clubs around
the world. After working on various Food and Coldcut
related studio projects with PC (Recipe for Disaster,
Journeys by DJ, Coldkrush Cuts and the Blech mix
compilations for Warp) he is preparing for the next
course...

Jazz Brakes
Originally produced by Coldcut the DJ Food project
started in 1990 with the release of Jazz Brakes. Jazz
Brakes Volume 3 being the label's most successful
early album. Not only are they effective collections
of breaks, loops and samples ideal for mixing,
remixing and producing - but also fine collections of
funky jazz & hip hop tunes, that cut it just as well
on the discerning dancefloor as in the safety of your
own home... Since the growth of the abstract hip hop
scene recent years the Jazz Brakes albums have proved
to be ahead of their time Jazz Brakes Volumes 4 & 5,
co-created with DJ/producer PC, are collections of
finely crafted tunes that transcend the breakbeat
compilation format to stand as artist albums in their
own right. These latter DJ Food albums have developed
with shades of latin, dub, techno, ambient, tribal,
african and jungle flavouring the funk. The last Food
album in October '95 titled 'A Recipe For Disaster'
was a concious break from the 5 Jazz Brakes volumes to
form more of an identity as an artist, and a remix
album of tracks from all 6 LPs 'Refried Food' was
released Feb '96. A new Studio album is being prepared
by PC and Strictly Kev in various top secret kitchens
across London as you read this. They are collaborating
with various guests on this including Bundy K. Brown
(ex-Tortoise, Directions in Music, Pullman) and Ken
Nordine (60's word jazz poet).

Who is DJ Food?

who indeed? The most often asked question in
interviews and most widely misunderstood concept in
reality, which we will, here & now, try to clear up
once and for all. First off; DJ FOOD is a person,
wrong, DJ Food is many persons, of who we will come to
in a moment. DJ FOOD is best described as Food for
DJs, simple as that, just flip it around and it begins
to mean something entirely different.

But who makes this food then? Most of you will know
that Matt Black & Jonathan More (aka Coldcut) are
responsible for starting the DJ FOOD series of Jazz
Brakes back in the early 90's, along the way they met
Patrick Carpenter (PC) who was commonly misconstrued
as the computer that they made the tracks on for a
while. A loose collaborative team began to form as
more likeminded people arrived at the party; Paul
Brook, Paul Rabiger, Strictly Kev and Issac Elliston
to name a few. Whilst keeping their hand in as DJs,
Matt & Jon couldn't / didn't want to DJ twice in one
night under both aliases of Coldcut & Food so PC &
Strictly stepped up to represent the Food club-wise.
Over the years various combinations of people appeared
as 'Food' in public and in music magazines the world
over. Then everyone got confused.

So who is DJ FOOD now? For the purpose of this album,
and for the time being at least, we would like you to
think of it as PC & Strictly Kev as the band leaders /
conductors, in conjuction with guest performers,
producers & collaborations by the likes of Bundy K.
Brown, Ken Nordine, & J. Swinscoe. (Jon & Matt having
relinquished control to concentrate on Coldcut now
that contractual restraints don't forbid them to use
their original moniker)

We hope this has cleared up any confusion & anyone
asking the question referred to in the title of this
little diatribe in subsequent interviews will be told
to refer to this piece... thank you and bon appetit!
