Shall we get the inevitable out of the way before we proceed, the who is DJ Food question After people thought it was one person and we told them that it wasn't - that it was a collective studio project - ironically it has boiled down to one person - Strictly Kev. You can see the Food project evolving in stages: The Jazz breaks series by Coldcut and PC from 90-95 was Mk 1, Recipe for Disaster through to Kaleidoscope was Mk 2 - PC and Kev and Mk 3 has been Kev since 2002. The last new music was the Quadraplex EP in 2001 give or take a few remixes and compilation tracks. So what has he been doing for those years then DJ'ing: He re-scored the Monkees cult psychedelic film Head as a live 3 deck DJ mix and toured it until 2004. Raiding the 20th Century, a history of the cut up that started off as a radio mix, blew up into a monster download on the web. Journalist, ex-Art of Noise schemer and all round cultural critic Paul Morley got involved, reading extracts from his Words and Music book over it too. Two official mix CDs with PC and DK in 2001 and 2007 and then a big 20 year anniversary archive retrieval of classic shows to celebrate 2 decades of the Broadest Beats in 2008. Regular mixes for the weekly Solid Steel show and residencies at club nights in London and Bristol as well as worldwide DJ tours. He spent most of 2008 learning about video alongside DK in order to roadtest Seratos new video plug in and the pair now have a 4 deck video turntablism DJ set under their belt, sharing bills with Hexstatic and Eclectic Method. Graphic design: For Ninja and others, from the Ninja logo you all know to sleeves for Amon Tobin, the Cinematic Orchestra and DJ Vadim. Posters, flyers, T-shirts, you name it, he's designed it. The fake KLF website with images supposedly from a forthcoming film with an embedded mix soundtrack. The KLFs Jimi Cauty was so impressed he wanted to use some of the images for his own project. Crate digging: He's had a bit of a thing for uncovering old unreleased material, first Ninja issued the Sesame Street classic Pinball Number Count (1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... 11, 12!) after Kev went digging through their archives. Then, a lost psyche surf pop album was unearthed after licensing a track from West Coast group the Dragons in the form of B.F.I. He also contributed to both installments of Otis Fodders 365 Days project, an year long daily blog of weird and wonderful musical oddities from the depth of selected DJs collections. In the eight years between records he's found so many new (and old) records it seems like everything has been heading towards this release as he slowly collects material.
