Ninja Tune is an independent record label based in London, England. Established in 1990 by the duo known as Coldcut, Ninja Tune was created as a platform to release underground music free from the constraints of major labels. Inspired by a visit to Japan, Coldcut sought to pioneer the emerging hip-hop/electro scene of the eighties.

The label's success can be attributed to its constantly growing roster of diverse artists and their innovative approach to music and multimedia. With the combined expertise of Black and More, along with the graphic vision of Openmind and sound business practices, Ninja Tune has become known for producing quality music while providing unparalleled support to its artists.

Notable releases include DJ Food's 'Jazz Brakes' series, which showcased instrumental hip-hop cuts produced by Coldcut. Through their dedication to musical excellence and artist empowerment, Ninja Tune has solidified its position as a leading force in the independent music industry.

British DJ / producer and cofounder of the Manchester institution / club night / label Hoya:Hoya, Illum Sphere releases a new 12" via Ninja Tune. His first output since mid 2014's 'Spectre Vex' double 12", 'Second Sight' and 'Ritual' are reflective of a shift to a more machine-sounding approach. Lead track 'Second Sight' is a stark, paranoid banger lurking in menacing cold wave territory. On the flip, 'Ritual' layers minimal, mechanical percussion with gently arpeggiating synth lines. Two expertly crafted cuts from a producer at the top of his game, with more new music on the horizon.
