Ahead Of Our Time

Ahead Of Our Time is an iconic music label that was originally established by Coldcut in 1987. Initially, they had collaborations with Big Life and other companies until they ventured into their own independent label, Ninja Tune. In 2016, Ahead Of Our Time underwent a remarkable revival with the release of a new *Bogus Order* 12" and fresh material from *Coldcut*.

DJ Food is an artist project that was started by Matt Black and Jonathan More, who are also known as Coldcut. They collaborated with Patrick Carpenter (aka PC) and Kevin Foakes (Strictly Kev) to create their unique sound. Although Coldcut later withdrew from the project, Carpenter and Foakes continued to mix tracks for Warp's Blech sampler. DJ Food's music can be described as a fusion of various genres including funk, hip-hop, and electronic music.

With influences ranging from London Funk Allstars to Amon Tobin, DJ Food has carved out their own distinct style in the music industry. Their tracks feature intricate beats, samples, and innovative production techniques that captivate listeners. Fans of artists such as Funki Porcini, Hexstatic, and Kid Koala will appreciate DJ Food's experimental approach to music.

Known for pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territories, DJ Food has become a respected name in the electronic music scene. Their collaborations with artists like DJ Vadim, Mr. Scruff, and Skalpel have further solidified their reputation as pioneers in the genre. Whether you're a fan of instrumental hip-hop or atmospheric electronica, DJ Food's discography offers something for everyone.

DJ Food Released in April 2000, Kaleidoscope marked a new era for the DJ Food alias first conceived by label founders Coldcut. Now under the expert control of fellow Ninjas Kevin Foakes, aka Strictly Kev, and Patrick Carpenter, aka PC, the album broke with the past by reflecting a possible future of beats and pieces. Twenty years later, amid the first national lockdown in England, Kev and PC decided to celebrate Kaleidoscope's 20th anniversary by digging through their personal archives for material from the original recording sessions. They found more than they bargained for, compiling versions, alternate mixes, and unreleased ideas into a series of mixes that have now been further refined into the Kaleidoscope Companion and presented alongside the original album on quadruple vinyl.
