I've been listening to Hard Sell by DJ Shadow and Cut chemist recently and it's inspired me to post.
Go buy this album now.
I saw them live at the Camden Roundhouse a couple of weeks ago and they were brilliant. The supporting act for the tour is Kid Koala who I've been listening to for a while now and he's always been superb.
The rules for the tour are pretty mind blowing for a DJ gig.
2 djs, 8 turntables, 4 mixers, 2 Guitar pedals and they only play original 7-inch records. No laptops, computers or anything else allowed to sully the mood.
The gig started out with a mellow build up from Kid Koala, finishing with a sublime remix of moon river. Unfortunately most of the crowd didn't arrive until after Kid Koala left the stage which I think is a crying shame.
Dj Shadow and Cut Chemist then took the stage. If you've not heard their sets before, just think of 2 jesters who have leaned to mix better than most people on the planet.
The video I've posted is of their Apache remix which has been kindly uploaded by leedowdall on youtube.
Tonto... Tonto, Tonto
