FabricLive 39 - DJ Yoda
DJ Yoda has mixed the latest installment of the FabricLive series: FabricLive 39.
Hailing from North London, DJ Yoda became known through his acclaimed mixtape series titled ‘How To Cut & Paste’ on Antidote Records which brought an accessible sense of humour to what had essentially become the serious, elitist world of hip hop.
In 2001 he won a DMC DJ of the Year award in the Scratch DJ category and later on he worked with Biz Markie and the Jungle Brothers on his debut album entitled The Amazing Adventures of DJ Yoda, which was released on Antidote Records in 2006.
On FABRICLIVE 39, DJ Yoda manages to effortlessly bring everything and anything into the mix: from the most unpredictable to the stone cold classics. All concepts aside, this is straight from the club. Yoda provides a fusion of old meets new, pulling together beats, bass and sounds from streets around the world – from London to Brazil to Jamaica to Baltimore. With New Jack Swing giving Baltimore house a twirl, Minnie Ripperton grabbing drum’n’bass by the hand, Salt N Pepa getting down with Baile Funk and dubstep grinding up next to Lord Kitchener, DJ Yoda brings it all together for some straight up fun times.
“This mix is unique for me. After all these years and all the mixes I’ve done, this is the first mix that’s actually representative of what I do in a club. As much as the ‘How To Cut & Paste’ mixes represent my style, the fabric mix is the first time you’ll hear what I sound like in a club, as opposed to me sitting at home in my bedroom fiddling around with tiny pieces of music. It’s music you can dance to.”
