DK, Point to C & Neotropic


Part 1 + 2 - DK

Part 3 + 4 - Point to C & Neotropic

Solid Steel in association with Serato (5th March) This week DK returns with a trawl through the digital inbox and catches up on some recent and upcoming releases. We kick off once again with the excellent Warrior One remix of 'Eyesdown' by Bonobo and continue in a leftfield uptempo groove with Martyn, Joy Orbison and Octa Push, before dropping the huge bomb that is the Nero mix of 'Sincere'. More bass heavy beats follow before dropping down with new material from the great Gil Scott-Heron, Jay Electronica and the original from Billy Stewart. It's a west London shuffle with 2000 black on the remix for Ty and Seiji mixing it with Jern Eye. Classics from Tom Tom Club and Donald Banks along with some Afrobeat flavours bring the first hour to a close.

Hour 2 starts with Point to C and their System Pulley mix and it’s his usual subtle brilliance, brimming with off kilter neck snappers and low slung rumblers, all mixed with typical surgical precision and attention to detail. Autechre, APC and Tortoise all line up in the mix.

To finish the show, we welcome back Neotropic. With a new album called 'Equestrienne' in the shops, we hear LP tracks alongside more of her own productions of beautiful electronic sound scapes.

DJ Food & DK present - Now, Look & Listen



DJ Food & DK showcase their AV mix that they perform live on 4 decks and 3 mixers. Using Serato's Video-SL plug-in for Scratch Live, they mix, scratch and blend the sound AND vision for each track they play.

Months were spent creating videos for each piece of music, either using the original source material or, in most cases sampling footage to create a new video entirely. Described as 'Video Turntablism', it has become a way for Food & DK to visualize their already legendary DJ sets.

As usual, it's the diverse mix of music that they love and are known for, taking in current club floor fillers, but also making room for classic tracks. You can now marvel not only at their musical tastes, but also the visual side as well.
