Carhartt WIP Radio August 2016: Ninja Tune - Radio Show by Carhartt Work in Progress published on 2016-07-31T16:14:41Z For more than 25 years Ninja Tune has celebrated music that reflects the circumstances of its time and avoids aligning to a specific genre. The foundation goes way back into the 1980s, when computer programmer Matt Black and ex-art teacher Jonathan More were working as part-time DJs on the rare groove scene of 1986. Their first collaboration together was the cut-up breakbeat EP “Say Kids What Time Is It?” that is regarded as the first UK record to be built entirely of samples. During that time around 1987 the duo adopted the name Coldcut, and set up their first record label called Ahead Of Our Time. In 1990, whilst on their first tour in Japan, both formed their second record label, Ninja Tune, as a self-titled 'technicoloured escape pod', and a way to avoid the creative control of major labels with which they had released several more Coldcut hit singles between 1987 and 1990. Ninja Tune enabled them to release music under different aliases (e.g. Bogus Order, DJ Food), which also helped them to avoid pigeonholing as producers. Beside releasing their own music, the label's success has grown also due to a constantly growing roster of very different sounding artists like Funki Porcini, DJ Vadim, Amon Tobin, Bonobo, Mr Scruff, The Cinematic Orchestra, Fink or Roots Manuva amongst others. Today Ninja Tune and its sub divisions like Big Dada Recordings, Counter or Werk Discs continue to release music without any stylistic blinkers, represented by contemporary artists like Max Graef, Dorian Concept, Actress, Helena Hauff or Seven Davis Jr. For Carhartt WIP Radio Ninja Tune have put together a show featuring music from across the label family: Ninja Tune, Big Dada, Brainfeeder and Technicolour.
