'''Big beat''' is a style of music that typically uses heavy [[breakbeat]]s and synthesizer-generated loops and patterns common to [[techno]] and [[acid house]]. The term has been used since the mid-1990s by the British music press to describe music by artists such as [[The Prodigy]], [[Cut La Roc]], [[Fatboy Slim]], [[The Chemical Brothers]], [[The Crystal Method]], and [[Propellerheads]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Miami Herald|url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=MH&s_site=miami&p_multi=MH&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=1050AF0CAA662FC6&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM | date=10 September 2004}}</ref>

== Style ==

Big beat tends to feature distorted, compressed breakbeats at [[tempos]] between 120 to 140 [[beats per minute]], [[acid house]]-style [[synthesizer]] lines, and heavy loops from 60s and 70s [[funk]], [[jazz]], [[Rock music|rock]], and [[pop music|pop]] songs. They are often punctuated with [[Punk rock|punk]]-style vocals and driven by intense, distorted [[bassline]]s with conventional pop and techno song structures. Big beat tracks have a sound that includes [[Dynamics (music)|crescendos]], builds, [[drop (music)|drops]], extended [[drum roll]]s and dramatic sound effects, such as explosions, air horns, or sirens. As with several other dance genres at the time, the use of effects such as [[Cutoff frequency|filters]], [[phasing]], and [[flanging]] was commonplace.

Celebrated instigators of the genre such as [[Fatboy Slim]] tend to feature heavily [[dynamic range compression (audio)|compressed]] loud breakbeats in their tracks, which are used to define the music as much as any melodic hooks and sampled sounds. Based on the primary use of loud, heavy breakbeats and basslines, big beat shares attributes with [[Oldschool jungle|jungle]] and [[drum and bass]], but has a significantly slower tempo.

== History ==

In 1989, Iain Williams from the [[London]], England-based electronic duo [[Big Bang (British band)|Big Bang]] coined the musical term "big beat" to describe the band's sound. He explained the band's concept during an interview with the French journalist Alex Gerry for an article in the London magazine ''Metropolitan'' (issue 132, page 9, 6 June 1989) under the heading, "BIG BANG IN CLUBLAND. Could BIG BEAT be the 1989 answer to ACID HOUSE?"<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Gerry|first1=Alex |date=9 June 1989 |title=Big Bang in Clubland: Could big beat be the 1989 answer to acid house? |journal=Metropolitan |issue=132 |page=9 |accessdate=25 September 2011}}</ref> The band were promoting their first record, an Arabic-inspired version of the [[B-side]] to the [[ABBA]]'s "[[Voulez-Vous (song)|Voulez-Vous]]" single, "Cold Nights in Cairo",<ref>https://myspace.com/big-bang-british-band/music/song/big-bang-cold-nights-in-cairo-94390618-105076711</ref> that had just been released on Swanyard Records. The single was produced by Big Bang and Steev Toth. Big Bang consists of Laurence Malice ([[Trade nightclub]] founder) and Iain Williams (writer). The band's sound consisted of various experimental musical elements, including heavy drum beats and synthesizer-generated loops as well as an added suggestion of European influences that at times had a [[trance music|trance]]-like quality. The band used session vocalists on all their recordings. The concept of the big beat sound was later picked up on and adapted by many club DJs and went on to become widely used by many successful musicians throughout the 1990s.

{{Quote box
|quote = The name came from our club, the Big Beat Boutique, which I'm tremendously proud of. I always thought the formula of big beat was the breakbeats of hip-hop, the energy of acid house, and the pop sensibilities of the Beatles, with a little bit of punk sensibility, all rolled into one. People like the Prodigy and the Chemical Brothers — we saw it as very similar to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, who grew up listening to soul records and blues records and then sold an English version of it back to America.

At the beginning of the 1990s, against the backdrop of several popular musical subcultures – including the [[rave]] scene, [[British hip hop]], [[chill-out music|chillout]] or [[Ambient music|ambient]], gestating subgenres such as [[trip hop]] and [[breakbeat]], plus the emerging [[Britpop]] movement – a process of hybridisation and a taste for eclecticism was developing within British dance music generally.<ref name="Allmusic">{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/explore/style/big-beat-d4546 |title=Big Beat |work=Allmusic |accessdate=26 September 2011}}</ref> Early purveyors of this approach include influential artists such as [[The Orb]], [[Jonathan Saul Kane|Depth Charge]], [[Meat Beat Manifesto]], Transglobal Underground, and [[Andrew Weatherall]]'s [[Sabres of Paradise]]. [[Sampling (music)|Sampling]] had become an integral part of dance music production and the fusion of genres appealed to DJs, producers, and fans keen on continued experimentalism within dance music. Record labels such as [[Junior Boy's Own]] and [[Heavenly Records]] demonstrated this broader-minded approach, releasing slower breakbeat-based music alongside [[house music|house]] and [[techno music|techno]] singles, introducing DJ-turned-artists such as [[The Chemical Brothers]] (known then as The Dust Brothers<ref name="NciMusic">{{Cite web |url=http://www.ncimusic.com/tutorial/history/electronica/bigbeat.html |title=Big Beat/Chemical Beats |work=NciMusic |accessdate=13 January 2014}}</ref>) and [[Monkey Mafia]] in 1994. [[Norman Cook]] and Damien Harris first became associated with the term "big beat" through Harris's label [[Skint Records]] and club night The Big Beat Boutique,<ref name="Allmusic"/> held on Fridays at [[Brighton]]'s Concorde club between 1995 and 2001. The Heavenly label's London club [[Heavenly Records#The Heavenly Social|The Sunday Social]] had adopted a similar philosophy with resident DJs The Chemical Brothers and their eclectic approach.<ref>{{cite news|title=Newsday|url=http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/newsday/doc/279113290.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Jul%2019,%201998&author=BY%20TONY%20FLETCHER.%20Tony%20Fletcher%20is%20a%20freelance%20writer.&pub=Newsday%20%28Combined%20editions%29&edition=&startpage=&desc=ON%20THE%20RECORD%20/%20Better%20Living%20Through%20Chemical%20Bros. | work=Newsday | date=19 July 1998}}</ref> The term caught on, and was subsequently applied to a wide variety of acts, including [[Bentley Rhythm Ace]], [[Lionrock]], [[The Crystal Method]], [[Lunatic Calm]], the [[Lo Fidelity Allstars]], [[Death in Vegas]], and the [[Propellerheads]] to name but a few.

Big beat later gained popularity and commercial success in the American market, largely due to the "rock-like" qualities and influences cited in the work of [[The Chemical Brothers]] and [[The Prodigy]], who were featuring loud and heavy guitar sounds more and more in their material at the time. [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]] introduced a live video performance by The Prodigy at the 1997 [[MTV Video Music Awards]], having signed the band to her [[Maverick Records]] label for the American release of their third album ''[[The Fat of the Land]]''. "[[Firestarter (The Prodigy song)|Firestarter]]" was The Prodigy and big beat's first number one single in the UK and became their biggest hit worldwide at the time. The band played several rock-oriented festivals, opening a gateway for other acts associated with big beat (including The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, and Death in Vegas) to follow suit. Other big beat singles that enjoyed varying degrees of success in the USA on account of the "[[Electronica]] invasion" include "[[Setting Sun]]" by The Chemical Brothers, "Battle Flag" by [[Lo Fidelity Allstars]], and "Ooh La La" by [[The Wiseguys]]. Meanwhile, by the end of 1997, several big beat tracks had peaked within the UK Top 40, with both The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers achieving two number one singles each. Fatboy Slim himself reached the top of the UK charts early in 1999 with "[[Praise You]]", becoming Norman Cook's fourth number one single, albeit under or involved with a different band on each of the three previous occasions.

The big beat scene had started to decline in popularity by 1999, due to the novelty of the genre's formula fading.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Damian Harris |date=9 April 2008 |title=Big beat: creating a dancefloor monster |journal=The Guardian |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2008/apr/09/bigbeat |accessdate=26 September 2011}}</ref> The genre's most successful acts would alter their sound further, with, for example, The Chemical Brothers releasing more material with direct techno and [[Trance music|trance]] characteristics (including "[[Four-on-the-floor (dance)|four to the floor]]" beats instead of syncopated breakbeats) inspired by the success of the [[Gatecrasher]] club and the trance movement, which would reach a commercial peak between 1999 and 2002. However, big beat had left an indelible mark on popular music as an indigenous progression from rave music, bridging a divide between clubbers and [[indie rock]] fans. Without this connection, some have reasoned that it would not have reached the heights that it did, or resonated with as many listeners as it did.<ref>{{cite book | last =Reynolds | first =Simon | title =Generation Ecstasy | publisher =Little, Brown and Company | year =1998 | page=384 |accessdate=26 September 2011}}</ref>

'''''Animal Shelf''''' is a children's model [[animation]] series that airs on the [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]] (ABC) in Australia, and Kidzone on [[TVNZ 6]] in New Zealand. It used to air on [[Playhouse Disney (UK & Ireland)]], now on CITV (Children's ITV) there. The concept for the program was initially taken from the book series written and illustrated by British writer [[Ivy Wallace]].
In the UK, it was released on videos in 1997-1999 from [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Disney Videos]] and in early 2000s by [[Carlton Television|Carlton Home Entertainment]] and [[Video Collection International|VCI]]. Animal Shelf is aimed at a pre-school audience.

The Animal Shelf was made by [[Cosgrove Hall Films]].

== Main Characters ==
*'''Timothy''' is a young boy who is the owner of the animals. He is never actually seen on-screen, just his shadow. This is the same with all of the human characters apart from the pet-shop owner.
*'''Gumpa''' is a [[bear]] who often acts as the leader of the group. He is quite lazy and enjoys sleeping.
*'''Woeful''' is a [[monkey]] who wears a red [[fez (hat)|fez]] and coat. He often tells jokes, which are often found rude by the other animals. He enjoys getting his own way, and is quite bossy, which sometimes annoys the other animals.
*'''Stripey''' is a woolen [[zebra]] and Getup's best friend. He seems to be quite wise, and it is revealed in the first episode, ''Stripey To The Rescue'', that he and Getup are Timothy's oldest animals.
*'''Getup''' is a [[giraffe]] who often falls over, and is close friends with Stripey. The material on her hooves is worn, which means that she often loses stuffing through them. She speaks with a broad English accent.
*'''Little Mutt''' is a [[west highland white terrier]] dog. He wears a pink bow, and often ends up getting into difficult situations. He seems to be close friends with Gumpa. Some children may often mistaken Little Mutt as a girl due to the colour of the bow and his shrill voice.

'''''Animal Shelf''''' is a children's model [[animation]] series that airs on the [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]] (ABC) in Australia, and Kidzone on [[TVNZ 6]] in New Zealand. It used to air on [[Playhouse Disney (UK & Ireland)]], now on CITV (Children's ITV) there. The concept for the program was initially taken from the book series written and illustrated by British writer [[Ivy Wallace]].
In the UK, it was released on videos in 1997-1999 from [[Walt Disney Home Video|Disney Videos]] and in early 2000s by [[Carlton Television|Carlton Home Entertainment]] and [[Video Collection International|VCI]]. Animal Shelf is aimed at a pre-school audience.

The Animal Shelf was made by [[Cosgrove Hall Films]].

== Main Characters ==
*'''Timothy''' is a young boy who is the owner of the animals. He is never actually seen on-screen, just his shadow. This is the same with all of the human characters apart from the pet-shop owner.
*'''Gumpa''' is a [[bear]] who often acts as the leader of the group. He is quite lazy and enjoys sleeping.
*'''Woeful''' is a [[monkey]] who wears a red [[fez (hat)|fez]] and coat. He often tells jokes, which are often found rude by the other animals. He enjoys getting his own way, and is quite bossy, which sometimes annoys the other animals.
*'''Stripey''' is a woolen [[zebra]] and Getup's best friend. He seems to be quite wise, and it is revealed in the first episode, ''Stripey To The Rescue'', that he and Getup are Timothy's oldest animals.
*'''Getup''' is a [[giraffe]] who often falls over, and is close friends with Stripey. The material on her hooves is worn, which means that she often loses stuffing through them. She speaks with a broad English accent.
*'''Little Mutt''' is a [[west highland white terrier]] dog. He wears a pink bow, and often ends up getting into difficult situations. He seems to be close friends with Gumpa. Some children may often mistaken Little Mutt as a girl due to the colour of the bow and his shrill voice.

'''James Lavelle''' (full name James Gabriel Leo Lavelle) is an English [[Electronic music|electronic]] musician and record label boss.

==Career==
In 1996 Mo' Wax released one of [[electronic music]]'s most celebrated albums, [[DJ Shadow|DJ Shadow's]] seminal ''[[Endtroducing.....]]''. Soon after this Lavelle started work on an album with DJ Shadow under the name [[UNKLE]]. The resulting release ''[[Psyence Fiction]]'' featured collaborations with [[Richard Ashcroft]], [[Mike D]], [[Badly Drawn Boy]] and [[Thom Yorke]]. (Wil Malone) In 2003, he released a follow-up to Psyence Fiction, titled ''[[Never, Never, Land]]'', though this album saw DJ Shadow replaced by [[Richard File]] as the second full time member of UNKLE. It featured collaborations with [[Robert Del Naja|3D]] of [[Massive Attack]] and [[Josh Homme]] of [[Queens of the Stone Age]] among others.<ref>[http://www.discogs.com/artist/James+Lavelle discogs]</ref>

He is a longtime resident at [[Fabric (club)|Fabric]] in London, mixing the inaugural [[Fabric Live Mix Albums|Fabric Live]] mix album.<ref>[http://www.fabriclondon.com/label/catalogue.php Fabric]</ref> He has also mixed three DJ mix albums for [[Global Underground]].

He has produced a number of film soundtracks, including ''[[Sexy Beast]]''. Also an in demand [[remix]]er, he has reworked tracks by [[Garbage (band)|Garbage]], [[The Verve]], [[Beck]] and [[Massive Attack]].<ref>[http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj_profiles.asp?ID=17 residentadvisor.net]</ref>

In an August 2006 interview with [[The Skinny (magazine)|The Skinny]], Lavelle revealed that he was working with [[Chris Goss (U.S.)|Chris Goss]] and [[Autolux]] on the follow-up to ''[[Never, Never, Land]]'', entitled ''[[War Stories (album)|War Stories]]''. Of the album's direction, he said “It’s rawer than '‘[[Psyence Fiction]]’' and ''[[Never, Never, Land]]'' although it’s more in the vein of the traditional [[singer/songwriter]]. If the first record was UNKLE does hiphop and the second record was UNKLE does electronic, then this one is like UNKLE does rock, but it’ll hopefully still have its continuity.”<ref>[http://www.theskinny.co.uk/article/44466-james-lavelle-what-became-of-the-man-from-unkle theskinny.co.uk]</ref>

==Quotes==
*''"I became a DJ because I couldn't breakdance and I was no good at graffiti."''
*''"I'm into a whole concept, it's a whole scene. I'm totally involved in it. We cover hip-hop fused music. We want to do this rock hip-hop thing. We are gonna launch a mad hip-hop/thrash fused band, a young Beastie Boys kind of thing. I'm into the total energy of the Beasties and that whole kind of skate thing. I want that energy and total madness surrounding the whole idea."''
*On Mo' Wax: ''"We put out 200 records in 4 or 5 years, I don’t think I’d ever be able to do that again. I don’t think I could ever work like that again, it was just insane."''<ref>[http://www.skinnymag.co.uk/content/view/2201/149/ skinnymag.co.uk]</ref>

'''Unkle''' (often stylised as '''U.N.K.L.E.''' or '''UNKLE''', occasionally known as '''UNKLE Sounds''') are a [[United Kingdom|British]] musical outfit founded in 1994 by school friends [[James Lavelle]] and [[Tim Goldsworthy]]. Originally categorized as [[trip hop]], the group once included producer [[DJ Shadow]] and have employed a variety of guest artists and producers.

==History==

===First incarnation (1994–1996)===
Lavelle and Goldsworthy were joined by [[Masayuki Kudo]] and [[Toshio Nakanishi]] of the [[Japan]]ese [[hip hop]] crew Major Force (later Major Force West).

===Second incarnation (1997–1999)===
Lavelle drafted in [[DJ Shadow]] to work on the debut album, and essentially discarded all previously recorded material. Lavelle and Shadow released ''[[Psyence Fiction]]'' in 1998 to critical acclaim. The album included collaborations with an all-star lineup including [[Thom Yorke]] ([[Radiohead]]), [[Mike D (musician)|Mike D]] ([[Beastie Boys]]), [[Kool G. Rap]], [[Jason Newsted]] ([[Metallica]]), [[Badly Drawn Boy]] and [[Richard Ashcroft]] ([[The Verve]]). The album was mixed by Shadow's long-time collaborator, producer [[Jim Abbiss]].

Shadow left the group after touring ''Psyence Fiction'' and was replaced by [[turntablist]] group the Scratch Perverts, who deconstructed the album and performed it live on turntables in 1999. Also in 1999, former producer [[Rich File]] remixed the track "Unreal", adding vocals by [[Ian Brown]], and the resulting track was released as the single "Be There".

On 1 February 1999, Lavelle and the Scratch Perverts appeared on the Radio 1 program [[The Breezeblock]], utilising "5 turntables". The set was largely based on tracks from Psyence Fiction, with some of them reworked live by Lavelle for the live performance. The Scratch Perverts' contribution consisted of scratching over the top of the U.N.K.L.E. tracks, a deconstructed version of 'Be There', and some solo interludes.<ref>[http://www.mixesdb.com/db/index.php/1999-02-01_-_UNKLE_vs_Scratch_Perverts_-_Breezeblock_-_Headline_Set U.N.K.L.E. vs Scratch Perverts Breezeblock session tracklist]</ref>

===Third incarnation (2000–2007)===
In 2001, Lavelle and File resurfaced as Unklesounds, with a DJ mix created for Japanese radio entitled ''[[Do Androids Dream of Electric Beats?]]'' This highlighted a new, more electronic direction the group had taken, and featured a number of tracks from ''Psyence Fiction'', remixed in a techy [[breakbeat]] style.

Rich File co-produced, played and sang on the second album, ''[[Never, Never, Land]]'', released in 2003. The album again featured a number of high-profile contributors, including [[Ian Brown]], [[Josh Homme]] ([[Queens of the Stone Age]]), [[Robert Del Naja]] ([[Massive Attack]]) and [[Gary Mounfield|Mani]] ([[The Stone Roses]], [[Primal Scream]]) among others.

Lavelle and File continued releasing mixes as Unklesounds. The mix album ''[[Edit Music for a Film: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Reconstruction]]'', featuring movie [[sampling (music)|samples]] and tracks from film soundtracks, was created for the After Dark 2004 event at the [[Institute of Contemporary Arts|ICA London]]. A single [[CD]] version was handed out at the event, and it was released officially as an extended two disc set in 2005.

In September 2006, Global Underground released ''[[Self Defence: Never, Never, Land Reconstructed and Bonus Beats]]'', a 4-CD box set of remixes and bonus tracks from the ''Never, Never, Land'' sessions, including tracks previously only available on the original [[DVD]] release of the album. It also contained remixes of a track mooted for their next album, featuring [[Ian Astbury]] of [[The Cult]], titled "Burn My Shadow".

''[[War Stories (album)|War Stories]]'', the third album from Unkle, was released in summer 2007. The album again featured a number of guests including [[Josh Homme]], [[Clayhill|Gavin Clark]], [[Robert Del Naja]], [[Ian Astbury]], [[The Duke Spirit]], [[Autolux]] and [[Neil Davidge]]. Following the release of the single "Hold My Hand", [[Pablo Clements]] (of [[The Psychonauts]]) became an Unkle member.

===Fourth incarnation (2008–present)===
In January 2008 Unkle released ''More Stories'', containing a mix of [[B-side]]s, remixes, unreleased ''War Stories'' session tracks, and music composed for the film ''[[Odyssey In Rome (film)|Odyssey In Rome]]''. The same month, Rich File announced he was leaving Unkle after 10 years' collaboration to pursue work with his new band, We Fell to Earth.<ref>[http://www.noizemakesenemies.co.uk/2008/01/file-leaves-unkle-news.html Noize Makes Enemies.co.uk - File leaves Unkle]</ref>
In March the [[Lazarides Gallery]] in [[London]] showcased ''War Paint'', an exhibition of artworks inspired by the recent Unkle album ''War Stories'', with works from [[Robert Del Naja]], [[Warren du Preez]], [[Nick Thornton Jones]], [[Will Bankhead]] and [[Ben Drury]].<ref>[http://www.lazinc.com/content/images/exhibitions/war_paint/Press_release_-_War_Paint_at_Lazarides_Gallery.pdf War Paint at Lazarides Gallery]</ref>
Unkle began touring the UK with [[Zoot Woman]] and Sebastian and Mr. Flash from the French electro record [[Ed Banger Records]]. The concert, set across four acts, featured live performances from past Unkle contributors including [[Badly Drawn Boy]], Liela Moss from [[The Duke Spirit]], [[Clayhill|Gavin Clark]] and Joel Cadbury from [[South (U.K. band)|South]].

Unkle's fourth full album titled ''[[End Titles... Stories for Film]]'' was released in July 2008.<ref>[http://unkle.shop.musictoday.com/Dept.aspx?cp=1228_11285 UNKLE Store - End Titles ...Stories for Film]</ref> It includes collaborations from [[Chris Goss]], [[Black Mountain (band)|Black Mountain]], [[Philip Sheppard (musician)|Philip Sheppard]], [[Dave Bateman]], Joel Cadbury, and James Griffith ([[Lake Trout (band)|Lake Trout)]]. The album is described in the sleeve notes by Lavelle as "not a new album in the usual sense, but new music that has been inspired by the moving image." As such, it can be considered a companion piece both to War Stories but also to the earlier Unklesounds mix, ''Edit Music for a Film''.

15 December 2008, saw the release of "End Titles… Redux" (limited to 3000 CDs from official UNKLE stores and digitally from 14 December). This release features seven re-interpreted tracks from the album ‘End Titles… Stories For Film’ plus 2 never before released tracks "When Once It Was" and "A Perfect Storm". The exclusive package is a 6 panel soft-pack with a 12 page booklet with images by [[Robert Del Naja]].

Upon the release of the single [[Heavy Drug (Surrender Sounds Mix)]] in August 2009, Unkle disclosed they had already begun recording their next studio album, ''[[Where Did the Night Fall]]'', which was released in May 2010. This also included an all-star cast of performers including: [[Mark Lanegan]], [[Nick Cave]], [[The Black Angels (band)|The Black Angels]], [[Sleepy Sun]], and [[Katrina Ford]]. As well as ELLE J and Gavin Clark. The album is also available as a digital download from UNKLE's site.

It was announced on 18 April 2011 that Unkle would headline the Dance Stage at the [[Reading and Leeds Festivals]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://leedsfestival.com/2011/news/article/the_dance_stage_is_unveiled |title=Leeds Festival News | News and Announcements for 2012 |publisher=Leedsfestival.com |date=2012-04-24 |accessdate=2012-04-28}}</ref> They will be performing a world-exclusive audio-visual DJ set at the festivals, playing songs from their back catalogue alongside remixes of other artists' songs as well as Unkle's own material.

'''Unkle''' (often stylised as '''U.N.K.L.E.''' or '''UNKLE''', occasionally known as '''UNKLE Sounds''') are a [[United Kingdom|British]] musical outfit founded in 1994 by school friends [[James Lavelle]] and [[Tim Goldsworthy]]. Originally categorized as [[trip hop]], the group once included producer [[DJ Shadow]] and have employed a variety of guest artists and producers.

==History==

===First incarnation (1994–1996)===
Lavelle and Goldsworthy were joined by [[Masayuki Kudo]] and [[Toshio Nakanishi]] of the [[Japan]]ese [[hip hop]] crew Major Force (later Major Force West).

===Second incarnation (1997–1999)===
Lavelle drafted in [[DJ Shadow]] to work on the debut album, and essentially discarded all previously recorded material. Lavelle and Shadow released ''[[Psyence Fiction]]'' in 1998 to critical acclaim. The album included collaborations with an all-star lineup including [[Thom Yorke]] ([[Radiohead]]), [[Mike D (musician)|Mike D]] ([[Beastie Boys]]), [[Kool G. Rap]], [[Jason Newsted]] ([[Metallica]]), [[Badly Drawn Boy]] and [[Richard Ashcroft]] ([[The Verve]]). The album was mixed by Shadow's long-time collaborator, producer [[Jim Abbiss]].

Shadow left the group after touring ''Psyence Fiction'' and was replaced by [[turntablist]] group the Scratch Perverts, who deconstructed the album and performed it live on turntables in 1999. Also in 1999, former producer [[Rich File]] remixed the track "Unreal", adding vocals by [[Ian Brown]], and the resulting track was released as the single "Be There".

On 1 February 1999, Lavelle and the Scratch Perverts appeared on the Radio 1 program [[The Breezeblock]], utilising "5 turntables". The set was largely based on tracks from Psyence Fiction, with some of them reworked live by Lavelle for the live performance. The Scratch Perverts' contribution consisted of scratching over the top of the U.N.K.L.E. tracks, a deconstructed version of 'Be There', and some solo interludes.<ref>[http://www.mixesdb.com/db/index.php/1999-02-01_-_UNKLE_vs_Scratch_Perverts_-_Breezeblock_-_Headline_Set U.N.K.L.E. vs Scratch Perverts Breezeblock session tracklist]</ref>

===Third incarnation (2000–2007)===
In 2001, Lavelle and File resurfaced as Unklesounds, with a DJ mix created for Japanese radio entitled ''[[Do Androids Dream of Electric Beats?]]'' This highlighted a new, more electronic direction the group had taken, and featured a number of tracks from ''Psyence Fiction'', remixed in a techy [[breakbeat]] style.

Rich File co-produced, played and sang on the second album, ''[[Never, Never, Land]]'', released in 2003. The album again featured a number of high-profile contributors, including [[Ian Brown]], [[Josh Homme]] ([[Queens of the Stone Age]]), [[Robert Del Naja]] ([[Massive Attack]]) and [[Gary Mounfield|Mani]] ([[The Stone Roses]], [[Primal Scream]]) among others.

Lavelle and File continued releasing mixes as Unklesounds. The mix album ''[[Edit Music for a Film: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Reconstruction]]'', featuring movie [[sampling (music)|samples]] and tracks from film soundtracks, was created for the After Dark 2004 event at the [[Institute of Contemporary Arts|ICA London]]. A single [[CD]] version was handed out at the event, and it was released officially as an extended two disc set in 2005.

In September 2006, Global Underground released ''[[Self Defence: Never, Never, Land Reconstructed and Bonus Beats]]'', a 4-CD box set of remixes and bonus tracks from the ''Never, Never, Land'' sessions, including tracks previously only available on the original [[DVD]] release of the album. It also contained remixes of a track mooted for their next album, featuring [[Ian Astbury]] of [[The Cult]], titled "Burn My Shadow".

''[[War Stories (album)|War Stories]]'', the third album from Unkle, was released in summer 2007. The album again featured a number of guests including [[Josh Homme]], [[Clayhill|Gavin Clark]], [[Robert Del Naja]], [[Ian Astbury]], [[The Duke Spirit]], [[Autolux]] and [[Neil Davidge]]. Following the release of the single "Hold My Hand", [[Pablo Clements]] (of [[The Psychonauts]]) became an Unkle member.

===Fourth incarnation (2008–present)===
In January 2008 Unkle released ''More Stories'', containing a mix of [[B-side]]s, remixes, unreleased ''War Stories'' session tracks, and music composed for the film ''[[Odyssey In Rome (film)|Odyssey In Rome]]''. The same month, Rich File announced he was leaving Unkle after 10 years' collaboration to pursue work with his new band, We Fell to Earth.<ref>[http://www.noizemakesenemies.co.uk/2008/01/file-leaves-unkle-news.html Noize Makes Enemies.co.uk - File leaves Unkle]</ref>
In March the [[Lazarides Gallery]] in [[London]] showcased ''War Paint'', an exhibition of artworks inspired by the recent Unkle album ''War Stories'', with works from [[Robert Del Naja]], [[Warren du Preez]], [[Nick Thornton Jones]], [[Will Bankhead]] and [[Ben Drury]].<ref>[http://www.lazinc.com/content/images/exhibitions/war_paint/Press_release_-_War_Paint_at_Lazarides_Gallery.pdf War Paint at Lazarides Gallery]</ref>
Unkle began touring the UK with [[Zoot Woman]] and Sebastian and Mr. Flash from the French electro record [[Ed Banger Records]]. The concert, set across four acts, featured live performances from past Unkle contributors including [[Badly Drawn Boy]], Liela Moss from [[The Duke Spirit]], [[Clayhill|Gavin Clark]] and Joel Cadbury from [[South (U.K. band)|South]].

Unkle's fourth full album titled ''[[End Titles... Stories for Film]]'' was released in July 2008.<ref>[http://unkle.shop.musictoday.com/Dept.aspx?cp=1228_11285 UNKLE Store - End Titles ...Stories for Film]</ref> It includes collaborations from [[Chris Goss]], [[Black Mountain (band)|Black Mountain]], [[Philip Sheppard (musician)|Philip Sheppard]], [[Dave Bateman]], Joel Cadbury, and James Griffith ([[Lake Trout (band)|Lake Trout)]]. The album is described in the sleeve notes by Lavelle as "not a new album in the usual sense, but new music that has been inspired by the moving image." As such, it can be considered a companion piece both to War Stories but also to the earlier Unklesounds mix, ''Edit Music for a Film''.

15 December 2008, saw the release of "End Titles… Redux" (limited to 3000 CDs from official UNKLE stores and digitally from 14 December). This release features seven re-interpreted tracks from the album ‘End Titles… Stories For Film’ plus 2 never before released tracks "When Once It Was" and "A Perfect Storm". The exclusive package is a 6 panel soft-pack with a 12 page booklet with images by [[Robert Del Naja]].

Upon the release of the single [[Heavy Drug (Surrender Sounds Mix)]] in August 2009, Unkle disclosed they had already begun recording their next studio album, ''[[Where Did the Night Fall]]'', which was released in May 2010. This also included an all-star cast of performers including: [[Mark Lanegan]], [[Nick Cave]], [[The Black Angels (band)|The Black Angels]], [[Sleepy Sun]], and [[Katrina Ford]]. As well as ELLE J and Gavin Clark. The album is also available as a digital download from UNKLE's site.

It was announced on 18 April 2011 that Unkle would headline the Dance Stage at the [[Reading and Leeds Festivals]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://leedsfestival.com/2011/news/article/the_dance_stage_is_unveiled |title=Leeds Festival News | News and Announcements for 2012 |publisher=Leedsfestival.com |date=2012-04-24 |accessdate=2012-04-28}}</ref> They will be performing a world-exclusive audio-visual DJ set at the festivals, playing songs from their back catalogue alongside remixes of other artists' songs as well as Unkle's own material.

'''''Never, Never, Land''''' is the second album by the British [[electronic music]] act [[UNKLE]], released on {{start date|2003|9|22|df=y}}. On {{start date|2004|10|24|df=y}} an expanded edition entitled ''Never, Never, Land Revisited'' was released. The original album debuted at No. 71 in Australia. It was promoted by four singles: "[[Eye for an Eye]]", "In a State", "Reign" and released only as a 12" promo "Safe in Mind".

The tracks on the album contain audio samples from the movies ''[[The Prophecy]]'', ''[[Jacob's Ladder]]'', ''[[THX 1138]]'' and ''[[The Thin Red Line (1998 film)|The Thin Red Line]].'' "Panic Attack" samples the beat from [[She's Lost Control]] and "Inside" samples the beat from [[New Dawn Fades]], both original songs from UK band [[Joy Division]]. A prominent sample of the [[Black Sabbath]] song "Changes" (taken from the album ''[[Black Sabbath Vol. 4|Vol. 4]]'') appears only in early leaked versions of "Back & Forth."

{{refimprove|date = September 2011}}
'''''Emotional Technology''''' is the fourth [[album]] by [[electronica]] artist [[Brian Transeau|BT]]. Transitioning towards a poppier sound, the album features some of BT's well-known hits, including "[[Somnambulist (Simply Being Loved)|Somnambulist]]", "The Force of Gravity" and "Superfabulous". "Somnambulist", also known as "Simply Being Loved", holds the [[Guinness World Record]] for most vocal edits in a single track, with 6,178 in the album version.<ref>http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/2000/most-vocal-edits-on-a-single-recording</ref> The album features vocal performances by [[JC Chasez]], [[Rose McGowan]], and Transeau himself, among others.

==Style==

The album's intro consists of a backwards sample of "Satellite", the closing track of ''Movement'', followed by reversed samples of "Somnambulist" and "Dark Heart Dawning" from ''Emotional Technology''. Shortly after "Somnambulist", the album moves from its pop-oriented sound into a more experimental direction, containing introspective lyrics and song structures and samples not normally found in trance music at the time (the extended breakdown section of "P A R I S" features a galloping horse and a choir, while "Communicate"'s chorus drops the beat entirely.) ''Emotional Technology'' also found Transeau writing several epic rock songs in the vein of "Satellite". Several of these songs would later be replaced on the Special Collector's Edition release.{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}}

==Reception==
The album received mixed reactions from both fans and critics alike. People who liked the album praised BT for the highly personal and experimental nature of the album. Others disregarded it as "pop at its worst". They were also turned off by the less dance floor-friendly vibe of this album compared to his other releases.{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}}

==Remix Contest==
Prior to the album's release, BT and BPM Magazine held a remix contest for the album. Inside an issue of BPM Magazine would be an EP containing the individual parts for "Somnambulist", "Communicate", "The Great Escape" and "Superfabulous", as well as a new, unreleased track titled "Kimosabe".{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}} The 4 winners were announced in early 2004 and they won signed copies of ''Emotional Technology'' among other prizes. Two notable winners were Toksin for his remix of "Communicate" and Burufunk for their remix of "The Great Escape". Burufunk had previously remixed "Somnambulist" for when the song was released as a single in May 2003. They later worked with BT on his remix of [[The Doors]]' classic, "Break On Through (To the Other Side)". Toksin has since released remixes of "Superfabulous" and "The Great Escape" on his website. He has also remixed "Shame" in his live shows.{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}}

'''''Emotional Technology''''' is the fourth [[album]] by [[electronica]] artist [[Brian Transeau|BT]]. Transitioning towards a poppier sound, the album features some of BT's well-known hits, including "[[Somnambulist (Simply Being Loved)|Somnambulist]]", "The Force of Gravity" and "Superfabulous". "Somnambulist", also known as "Simply Being Loved", holds the [[Guinness World Record]] for most vocal edits in a single track, with 6,178 in the album version.<ref>http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/2000/most-vocal-edits-on-a-single-recording</ref> The album features vocal performances by [[JC Chasez]], [[Rose McGowan]], and Transeau himself, among others.

==Style==

The album's intro consists of a backwards sample of "Satellite", the closing track of ''Movement'', followed by reversed samples of "Somnambulist" and "Dark Heart Dawning" from ''Emotional Technology''. Shortly after "Somnambulist", the album moves from its pop-oriented sound into a more experimental direction, containing introspective lyrics and song structures and samples not normally found in trance music at the time (the extended breakdown section of "P A R I S" features a galloping horse and a choir, while "Communicate"'s chorus drops the beat entirely.) ''Emotional Technology'' also found Transeau writing several epic rock songs in the vein of "Satellite". Several of these songs would later be replaced on the Special Collector's Edition release.{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}}

==Reception==
The album received mixed reactions from both fans and critics alike. People who liked the album praised BT for the highly personal and experimental nature of the album. Others disregarded it as "pop at its worst". They were also turned off by the less dance floor-friendly vibe of this album compared to his other releases.{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}}

==Remix Contest==
Prior to the album's release, BT and BPM Magazine held a remix contest for the album. Inside an issue of BPM Magazine would be an EP containing the individual parts for "Somnambulist", "Communicate", "The Great Escape" and "Superfabulous", as well as a new, unreleased track titled "Kimosabe".{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}} The 4 winners were announced in early 2004 and they won signed copies of ''Emotional Technology'' among other prizes. Two notable winners were Toksin for his remix of "Communicate" and Burufunk for their remix of "The Great Escape". Burufunk had previously remixed "Somnambulist" for when the song was released as a single in May 2003. They later worked with BT on his remix of [[The Doors]]' classic, "Break On Through (To the Other Side)". Toksin has since released remixes of "Superfabulous" and "The Great Escape" on his website. He has also remixed "Shame" in his live shows.{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}}

"'''Somnambulist (Simply Being Loved)'''" is a song by Brian Transeau, better known as [[BT (musician)|BT]], that was released as a single on March 20, 2003. The track quickly became the most successful track from the album ''[[Emotional Technology]]'', and one of Transeau's biggest commercial hits. The album debuted at number one on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' Electronic Albums chart. The song features background vocals by [[JC Chasez]].

The song features BT's signature '[[stutter edit]]' technique prominently in his vocals, largely contributing to the song's inclusion in the ''[[Guinness Book of World Records]]'' in 2003 for the largest number of vocal edits in a song (6,178 [[BIAS Peak]] edits).

The unmixed version of the song was featured in the North American [[music video game]] ''[[Dance Dance Revolution Extreme (North America)|Dance Dance Revolution Extreme]]'' for the [[PlayStation 2]]. In the game the song was cut from its original version to roughly a minute and a half in length to fit the standard play length for songs in the DDR series. The main title of the song was displayed as "Simply Being Loved" with "Somnambulist" as the [[Subtitle (titling)|subtitle]].

==Music video==
The song's music video features BT sleepwalking, magically changing the background to a city before he was in a nightclub. It ends with it being played backwards very fast.

'''Brian Wayne Transeau''' (born October 4, 1971), better known by his [[stage name]], '''BT''', is an American [[record producer|music producer]], [[composer]], [[audio engineering|audio technician]], [[multi-instrumentalist]], [[singer]], and [[songwriter]]. He is an artist in the [[electronica]] genre – most often considered a composer of [[trance music]], but known to work within several other styles. BT has also produced and written for artists such as [[Paul Van Dyk|Paul van Dyk]], [[Peter Gabriel]], [['N Sync]], [[Sting (musician)|Sting]], [[Blake Lewis]], [[Tori Amos]], and [[Tiësto]]. As a film composer, he has worked on films such as ''[[The Fast and the Furious (2001 film)|The Fast and the Furious]]'' and ''[[Monster (2003 film)|Monster]]''.<ref>David Battino, Kelli Richards, ''The Art Of Digital Music'', Backbeat Books, 2005, p. 10</ref>

BT is known for pioneering a production technique he calls the [[stutter edit]]. This technique consists of taking a small fragment (or fragments) of sound and then repeating it rhythmically. BT was entered into the ''[[Guinness Book of World Records]]'' for his song "[[Somnambulist (Simply Being Loved)]]". This song was recognized as using the largest number of vocal edits in a song (6,178 edits).<ref name="Bias inc">[http://www.bias-inc.com/about/artistProfiles/bt.php BIAS Artist Profiles: BT]</ref> BT's work with stutter edit techniques led to the formation of software development company, Sonik Architects, and the development of the sound-processing software plug-in Stutter Edit. The company also released a music remix app for the [[iPhone]] called Sonifi.

In 2010, BT was nominated for a [[Grammy Award]] for his studio album ''[[These Hopeful Machines]]'' under the category "[[Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album|Best Electronic/Dance Album]]".<ref name="Grammy Nomination">{{cite web|url=http://www.grammy.com/nominees?year=2010&genre=49 |title=The Official Site of Music's Biggest Night |publisher=GRAMMY.com |accessdate=2013-02-20}}</ref>

==Early life and education==
BT was born in [[Rockville, Maryland]] on October 4, 1971. At an early age, he studied music and the [[Suzuki method]] at the Washington Conservatory of Music.<ref name="Berklee.edu">{{cite web|last=Small |first=Mark |url=http://www.Berklee.edu/bt/183/coverstory.html |title=BERKLEE | Berklee Today |publisher=Berklee.edu |accessdate=2012-05-02}}</ref> He went on to attend the [[Berklee College of Music]] in [[Boston, Massachusetts]].<ref name="MusicMonthly.com">[http://www.musicmonthly.com/archives/archive.cgi?id=20 ]{{dead link|date=February 2013}}</ref><ref>[http://www.keyboardmag.com/article/bt-wears-his-lab-coat-for-these-hopeful-machines/3343 "BT Wears His Lab Coat for These Hopeful Machines"], Keyboard Magazine, Feb 2010</ref>

==Career==
In the early 1990s, BT moved back to [[Maryland]] and began collaborating with friends Ali "[[Dubfire]]" and [[Sharam]] of [[Deep Dish (band)|Deep Dish]].<ref name="BT interview">{{cite web|url=http://music.hyperreal.org/library/publicity/bt/|title=Hyperreal.org}}</ref> BT's productions were not yet popular in the US, and he had no idea that he had become popular across the Atlantic, where UK DJs like [[Sasha (DJ)|Sasha]] and [[Paul Oakenfold]] were regularly spinning his music for crowds. Sasha bought BT a ticket to London, where BT witnessed his own success—several thousand clubbers responded enthusiastically when Sasha played his song.<ref name="bare_url">Chris Gill, [http://emusician.com/remixmag/artists_interviews/musicians/remix_bts_new_skool/index.html "BT's New Skool Breakbeat Science"], Remix, Mar 2000</ref> He was soon signed to [[Perfecto Records|Oakenfold's record label]], a subsidiary of [[Warner Brothers]].<ref name="Berklee">{{cite web|url=http://www.berklee.edu/bt/183/coverstory.html|title=Twenty-First-Century Prototype}}</ref> BT's songs "A Moment of Truth" and "Relativity" became hits in the UK, and it was during this time in which BT met [[Tori Amos]].<ref name="Berklee"/>

In the early years of BT's career (roughly 1995–2000), he became a pioneering artist in the trance genre, despite the fact that he is not truly a DJ, and does not claim to be one.<ref name="Boston.com Page 2">{{cite news| url=http://www.boston.com/ae/music/articles/2004/10/02/the_world_at_his_fingertips/?page=2 | work=The Boston Globe | title=The world at his fingertips | first=Christopher | last=Muther | date=2004-10-02}}</ref> BT has said of his musical background, "I'm not the traditional type of dance music artist. I'm not a DJ. I come from a classical music background. I attended the [[Berklee College of Music]], and I played in punk bands."<ref name="bare_url" />

In February 2014, BT partnered with EDM lifestyle brand [http://www.electricfamily.com Electric Family] to produce a [http://electricfamily.com/shop/artist-series/BT/ collaboration bracelet] for which 100% of the proceeds are donated to the [[Shark Trust]].

===''Ima''===
BT's 1995 debut album ''[[Ima (BT album)|Ima]]'' was a progressive house effort featuring collaborations with [[Vincent Covello]] & [[Tori Amos]], as well as the opening track, "Nocturnal Transmission", being featured in ''[[The Fast and the Furious (2001 film)|The Fast and the Furious]]''. The title, "Ima (今)", is the [[Japanese language|Japanese]] word for "now". However, BT also stated that it means many other things and that the intention of the album is to have a different effect for everyone.

===''ESCM''===
BT's second album ''[[ESCM]]'' (Electric Sky Church Music) released in 1997, features more complex melodies and more traditional harmonies along with a heavier use of vocals.<ref name="NewTimes">{{cite web|url=http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/2000-07-13/music/beatific/|title=''Miami New Times''}}</ref> The tone of the album is darker and less whimsical than ''[[Ima (Brian Transeau album)|Ima]]''. The album, as a whole, is much more diverse than BT's debut album.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}}

The biggest hit from ''ESCM'' was "Flaming June,"<ref name="NewTimes"/> a collaboration with German trance meister [[Paul van Dyk]]. Van Dyk and BT would collaborate on a number of works including "Namistai" (found on the later album ''[[Movement in Still Life]]'') as well as van Dyk's remix of BT's "Blue Skies" and "Remember". "Remember" featured [[Jan Johnston]] on vocals. BT and van Dyk also remixed the van Dyk classic "Forbidden Fruit" as well as [[Dina Carroll|Dina Carroll's]] "Run to You".

===''Movement in Still Life''===
[[File:Brian Transeau.jpg|right|thumb|BT playing an acoustic version of "Satellite" from his 1999 album, ''Movement in Still Life'', in 2006|200px]]
BT released his third album in the UK in 1999 (US Version 2000) ''[[Movement in Still Life]]'' and continued his previous experimentation outside of the trance genre. The album features a strong element of [[nu skool breaks]], a genre he helped define with the popular "Hip-Hop Phenomenon,"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lunarmagazine.com/features/bt.php|title=Lunar Magazine interview}}</ref> in collaboration with [[Tsunami One]] aka [[Adam Freeland]] & Kevin Beber.<ref name="contributors">{{cite web |url=http://www.discogs.com/BT-Movement-In-Still-Life/release/14798 |title=BT - Movement In Still Life (CD, Album) at Discogs |year=2011 |publisher=Discogs |accessdate=2011-01-09}}</ref> The album hits a spectrum of genre-work. "Smartbomb" is a mix of funky, heavy riffs from both synthesizers and guitars woven over a hip-hop break and includes a lyric sample from "Love on Haight Street". "Shame" and "Satellite" lean toward an alt-rock sound, while "Godspeed" and "Dreaming" fall into classic trance ranks. "Running Down the Way Up", a collaboration with fellow electronic act [[Hybrid (producers)|Hybrid]], features sultry vocals and acoustic guitars heavily edited into a progressive breakbeat track.

===''Emotional Technology''===
BT's fourth studio album, released on August 5, 2003, featured more vocal tracks than BT's previous fare, including six with vocals by BT himself. ''[[Emotional Technology]]'' was BT's most experimental album to date, and many consider it the "poppiest" of all of his work. The biggest single from the album, "[[Somnambulist (Simply Being Loved)|Somnambulist]]", draws heavily from the breakbeats and [[new wave music|new wave]] dance of [[New Order]] and [[Depeche Mode]], whom BT has cited as major influences. The rest of the album fairly escapes genre labeling, from the dark guitar work of "Circles", to "The Only Constant is Change" which is reminiscent of "Satellite", the album blends genres and changes genres in mid-track. The single "Somnambulist" holds the [[Guinness World Record]] for most vocal edits in a single track, with 6,178 in the album version.<ref>[http://dancemusic.about.com/cs/features/a/Ron2k3Pick.htm Somnambulist]</ref>

===''This Binary Universe''===
BT's fifth studio album, ''[[This Binary Universe]]'', released on August 29, 2006, is his second album released in [[5.1]] surround sound, the first being the soundtrack to the 2003 film ''[[Monster (2003 film)|Monster]]''.

The album features a mix of many genres, including jazz, breakbeats, and classical music. Three songs feature a full 110-piece orchestra. Animated videos were created to accompany each song.<ref name="lastfm">{{cite web|url=http://www.last.fm/music/BT/+wiki|title=BTs' Last FM site}}</ref> The videos are included in a DVD packaged along with the CD.

Keyboard Magazine declared of the album, “In a hundred years, it could well be studied as the first major electronic work of the new millennium.”<ref name="The Mind Of BT">Stephen Fortner, [http://www.keyboardmag.com/article/the-mind-bt/Dec-05/16024 "The Mind Of BT"], Keyboard Magazine, Dec 2005</ref>

Unlike his previous two albums, which featured vocals on almost every track, this album contains none. The tracks also change genres constantly throughout. A good example is "The Antikythera Mechanism", which starts off almost lullaby-like, complete with a piano, acoustic guitars and reversed beats. Halfway through the track, the song explodes with a 110-piece orchestra, followed by a section of breakbeats and ending with the de-construction of the orchestra.

During November and December 2006, BT toured the album with [[Thomas Dolby]] opening. The concert featured a live slideshow of images from the online website [[DeviantArt]] as a backdrop.<ref name="dA">{{cite web|url=http://news.deviantart.com/article/23585/|title=DeviantArt Presents BT and Thomas Dolby}}</ref><ref>Images and accounts from the tour to date can be seen at dA Presents. [http://dapresents.deviantart.com/ dAPresents on deviantART]</ref>

===''These Hopeful Machines''===
BT's sixth studio album, ''[[These Hopeful Machines]]'', was released on February 2, 2010. The album featured guest vocalists/collaborators
[[Kirsty Hawkshaw]], [[Jes Brieden|JES]], [[Rob Dickinson]] of [[Catherine Wheel]] and [[Christian Burns]]. The album also features collaborations with Andrew Bayer ("The Emergency") and [[Ulrich Schnauss]] ("A Million Stars"). To date, this album contains the most singles released from any BT album, with 8 of the 12 tracks released as singles. Early official remixes were made by [[Armin van Buuren]] and [[Chicane (recording artist)|Chicane]]. These Hopeful Machines was nominated for a 2011 [[Grammy]] Award in the Best Electronic/Dance Album genre.<ref name="Grammy Nomination" /> A remix album, titled ''[[These Re-Imagined Machines]]'' was released in 2011. ''[[These Humble Machines]]'', an un-mixed album featuring shorter "radio edit" versions of the tracks (similar to the U.S. version of ''Movement in Still Life'') was also released in 2011.

===''If the Stars are Eternal So are You and I'' and ''Morceau Subrosa''===
BT announced plans to release two solo albums, ''[[If the Stars are Eternal So are You and I]]'', his seventh album, and ''[[Morceau Subrosa]]'', his eighth album.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.btmusic.com/brian-transeau/press/breaking-news/382-update-on-new-music-releases-part-1-of-2.html |title=Update on New Musical Releases (Part 1 of 2), BTMusic.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.btmusic.com/brian-transeau/press/breaking-news/382-update-on-new-music-releases-part-1-of-2.html |title=Update on New Musical Releases (Part 2 of 2), BTMusic.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/bt/posts/197720780336799 |title=Hello to All!

The album was finally released on June 19, along with ''Morceau Subrosa''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.facebook.com/bt/posts/235706849882145 |title=If the Stars are eternal so are You and I & Morceau Subrosa released, facebook.com}}</ref>

''If the Stars are Eternal So are You and I'', like ''This Binary Universe'' before it, is an about-face from BT's previous album ''These Hopeful Machines'', utilizing minimal beats, ambient soundscapes, and glitch music, as opposed to the electronic music style of ''These Hopeful Machines''. ''Morceau Subrosa'' is very different in style compared to most of BT's previous works, favoring ambient soundscapes and minimal beats.

==Software==
During the production of ''This Binary Universe'', Transeau wanted to program drums in surround sound, and found that software tools to accomplish this weren't readily available. He decided to develop his own, and formed his own software company, Sonik Architects, and his own drum surround software called BreakTweaker. BreakTweaker was originally intended for release in 2007, with later plans to release additional tools and plugins specifically aimed at musicians and DJs, including his signature [[stutter edit]].<ref name="progsnd">{{cite web|url=http://www.progressive-sounds.com/artists/BT/BT-interview-8-2006.asp|title=Progressive Sounds}}</ref>

In 2009, he launched his software company Sonik Architects with Sonifi, the company's first product for [[iPhone]] and [[iPod Touch]].<ref name="synthopia">[http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2009/06/18/bt-sonifi-iphone/ BT’s Sonifi For The iPhone]</ref>

'''Big beat''' is a style of music that typically uses heavy [[breakbeat]]s and synthesizer-generated loops and patterns common to [[techno]] and [[acid house]]. The term has been used since the mid-1990s by the British music press to describe music by artists such as [[The Prodigy]], [[Cut La Roc]], [[Fatboy Slim]], [[The Chemical Brothers]], [[The Crystal Method]], and [[Propellerheads]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Miami Herald|url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=MH&s_site=miami&p_multi=MH&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=1050AF0CAA662FC6&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM | date=10 September 2004}}</ref>

== Style ==

Big beat tends to feature distorted, compressed breakbeats at [[tempos]] between 120 to 140 [[beats per minute]], [[acid house]]-style [[synthesizer]] lines, and heavy loops from 60s and 70s [[funk]], [[jazz]], [[Rock music|rock]], and [[pop music|pop]] songs. They are often punctuated with [[Punk rock|punk]]-style vocals and driven by intense, distorted [[bassline]]s with conventional pop and techno song structures. Big beat tracks have a sound that includes [[Dynamics (music)|crescendos]], builds, [[drop (music)|drops]], extended [[drum roll]]s and dramatic sound effects, such as explosions, air horns, or sirens. As with several other dance genres at the time, the use of effects such as [[Cutoff frequency|filters]], [[phasing]], and [[flanging]] was commonplace.

Celebrated instigators of the genre such as [[Fatboy Slim]] tend to feature heavily [[dynamic range compression (audio)|compressed]] loud breakbeats in their tracks, which are used to define the music as much as any melodic hooks and sampled sounds. Based on the primary use of loud, heavy breakbeats and basslines, big beat shares attributes with [[Oldschool jungle|jungle]] and [[drum and bass]], but has a significantly slower tempo.

== History ==

In 1989, Iain Williams from the [[London]], England-based electronic duo [[Big Bang (British band)|Big Bang]] coined the musical term "big beat" to describe the band's sound. He explained the band's concept during an interview with the French journalist Alex Gerry for an article in the London magazine ''Metropolitan'' (issue 132, page 9, 6 June 1989) under the heading, "BIG BANG IN CLUBLAND. Could BIG BEAT be the 1989 answer to ACID HOUSE?"<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Gerry|first1=Alex |date=9 June 1989 |title=Big Bang in Clubland: Could big beat be the 1989 answer to acid house? |journal=Metropolitan |issue=132 |page=9 |accessdate=25 September 2011}}</ref> The band were promoting their first record, an Arabic-inspired version of the [[B-side]] to the [[ABBA]]'s "[[Voulez-Vous (song)|Voulez-Vous]]" single, "Cold Nights in Cairo",<ref>https://myspace.com/big-bang-british-band/music/song/big-bang-cold-nights-in-cairo-94390618-105076711</ref> that had just been released on Swanyard Records. The single was produced by Big Bang and Steev Toth. Big Bang consists of Laurence Malice ([[Trade nightclub]] founder) and Iain Williams (writer). The band's sound consisted of various experimental musical elements, including heavy drum beats and synthesizer-generated loops as well as an added suggestion of European influences that at times had a [[trance music|trance]]-like quality. The band used session vocalists on all their recordings. The concept of the big beat sound was later picked up on and adapted by many club DJs and went on to become widely used by many successful musicians throughout the 1990s.

{{Quote box
|quote = The name came from our club, the Big Beat Boutique, which I'm tremendously proud of. I always thought the formula of big beat was the breakbeats of hip-hop, the energy of acid house, and the pop sensibilities of the Beatles, with a little bit of punk sensibility, all rolled into one. People like the Prodigy and the Chemical Brothers — we saw it as very similar to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, who grew up listening to soul records and blues records and then sold an English version of it back to America.

At the beginning of the 1990s, against the backdrop of several popular musical subcultures – including the [[rave]] scene, [[British hip hop]], [[chill-out music|chillout]] or [[Ambient music|ambient]], gestating subgenres such as [[trip hop]] and [[breakbeat]], plus the emerging [[Britpop]] movement – a process of hybridisation and a taste for eclecticism was developing within British dance music generally.<ref name="Allmusic">{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/explore/style/big-beat-d4546 |title=Big Beat |work=Allmusic |accessdate=26 September 2011}}</ref> Early purveyors of this approach include influential artists such as [[The Orb]], [[Jonathan Saul Kane|Depth Charge]], [[Meat Beat Manifesto]], Transglobal Underground, and [[Andrew Weatherall]]'s [[Sabres of Paradise]]. [[Sampling (music)|Sampling]] had become an integral part of dance music production and the fusion of genres appealed to DJs, producers, and fans keen on continued experimentalism within dance music. Record labels such as [[Junior Boy's Own]] and [[Heavenly Records]] demonstrated this broader-minded approach, releasing slower breakbeat-based music alongside [[house music|house]] and [[techno music|techno]] singles, introducing DJ-turned-artists such as [[The Chemical Brothers]] (known then as The Dust Brothers<ref name="NciMusic">{{Cite web |url=http://www.ncimusic.com/tutorial/history/electronica/bigbeat.html |title=Big Beat/Chemical Beats |work=NciMusic |accessdate=13 January 2014}}</ref>) and [[Monkey Mafia]] in 1994. [[Norman Cook]] and Damien Harris first became associated with the term "big beat" through Harris's label [[Skint Records]] and club night The Big Beat Boutique,<ref name="Allmusic"/> held on Fridays at [[Brighton]]'s Concorde club between 1995 and 2001. The Heavenly label's London club [[Heavenly Records#The Heavenly Social|The Sunday Social]] had adopted a similar philosophy with resident DJs The Chemical Brothers and their eclectic approach.<ref>{{cite news|title=Newsday|url=http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/newsday/doc/279113290.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Jul%2019,%201998&author=BY%20TONY%20FLETCHER.%20Tony%20Fletcher%20is%20a%20freelance%20writer.&pub=Newsday%20%28Combined%20editions%29&edition=&startpage=&desc=ON%20THE%20RECORD%20/%20Better%20Living%20Through%20Chemical%20Bros. | work=Newsday | date=19 July 1998}}</ref> The term caught on, and was subsequently applied to a wide variety of acts, including [[Bentley Rhythm Ace]], [[Lionrock]], [[The Crystal Method]], [[Lunatic Calm]], the [[Lo Fidelity Allstars]], [[Death in Vegas]], and the [[Propellerheads]] to name but a few.

Big beat later gained popularity and commercial success in the American market, largely due to the "rock-like" qualities and influences cited in the work of [[The Chemical Brothers]] and [[The Prodigy]], who were featuring loud and heavy guitar sounds more and more in their material at the time. [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]] introduced a live video performance by The Prodigy at the 1997 [[MTV Video Music Awards]], having signed the band to her [[Maverick Records]] label for the American release of their third album ''[[The Fat of the Land]]''. "[[Firestarter (The Prodigy song)|Firestarter]]" was The Prodigy and big beat's first number one single in the UK and became their biggest hit worldwide at the time. The band played several rock-oriented festivals, opening a gateway for other acts associated with big beat (including The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, and Death in Vegas) to follow suit. Other big beat singles that enjoyed varying degrees of success in the USA on account of the "[[Electronica]] invasion" include "[[Setting Sun]]" by The Chemical Brothers, "Battle Flag" by [[Lo Fidelity Allstars]], and "Ooh La La" by [[The Wiseguys]]. Meanwhile, by the end of 1997, several big beat tracks had peaked within the UK Top 40, with both The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers achieving two number one singles each. Fatboy Slim himself reached the top of the UK charts early in 1999 with "[[Praise You]]", becoming Norman Cook's fourth number one single, albeit under or involved with a different band on each of the three previous occasions.

The big beat scene had started to decline in popularity by 1999, due to the novelty of the genre's formula fading.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Damian Harris |date=9 April 2008 |title=Big beat: creating a dancefloor monster |journal=The Guardian |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2008/apr/09/bigbeat |accessdate=26 September 2011}}</ref> The genre's most successful acts would alter their sound further, with, for example, The Chemical Brothers releasing more material with direct techno and [[Trance music|trance]] characteristics (including "[[Four-on-the-floor (dance)|four to the floor]]" beats instead of syncopated breakbeats) inspired by the success of the [[Gatecrasher]] club and the trance movement, which would reach a commercial peak between 1999 and 2002. However, big beat had left an indelible mark on popular music as an indigenous progression from rave music, bridging a divide between clubbers and [[indie rock]] fans. Without this connection, some have reasoned that it would not have reached the heights that it did, or resonated with as many listeners as it did.<ref>{{cite book | last =Reynolds | first =Simon | title =Generation Ecstasy | publisher =Little, Brown and Company | year =1998 | page=384 |accessdate=26 September 2011}}</ref>

'''Jori Hulkkonen''' (born 28 September 1973), is a [[Finland|Finnish]] [[DJ]] and a producer of [[house music]],<ref name="HardingBrewer2003">{{cite book|last1=Harding|first1=Paul|last2=Brewer|first2=Jennifer|title=Finland|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=ZY_XZW9AtYgC&pg=PA21|accessdate=17 August 2011|date=2003-04-17|publisher=Lonely Planet|isbn=978-1-74059-076-1|pages=21–}}</ref> originally from [[Kemi]], Finland. Hulkkonen started his career in the early 1990s when he worked with [[Jukka Hautamäki]], [[Tuomas Salmela]] and [[Ari Ruokamo]] for their own label [[Lumi Records]].

Internationally, Hulkkonen's most popular recording is the single ''[[Sunglasses at Night]]'', a version of [[Corey Hart (singer)|Corey Hart]]'s 1980s hit, created together with [[Canada|Canadian]] producer [[Tiga (musician)|Tiga]]. His most recent solo full-length ''Dualizm'', released in 2005, featured collaborations with [[John Foxx]], [[Nick Triani]], [[Tiga (musician)|Tiga]], [[Jerry Valuri]], and [[José González (singer)|José González]].

==Musical history==

===Formation and early years===
'''Big Bang''' were formed during the latter part of 1988.

Laurence and Iain had previously been in a band together called '''You You You''' along with the vocalist Karen O'Connor and backing vocalist Alice Shaw.<ref name=buzz1>''The BUZZ'' magazine, issue no.5, Spring 1987, page 87.

You You You gave their first concert at a secret location in Charing Cross Road in early January, 1987. So secret was the venue, members of the band have since forgotten what it was called. The show was arranged as an unannounced warm-up gig before their debut at the [[Camden Palace]] on 13 January.<ref name=buzz1/><ref>''Evening Standard'', ''Ad Lib'', page 10, 13 January 1987, You You You play live at Camden Palace tonight</ref> The band billed their first series of concerts as ‘Stage 1’ of their ‘World Domination’ Tour and enlisted the help of illustrator Mark Wardel to design their publicity.<ref>http://webmii.tw/Result.aspx/Mark/Wardel</ref>
Their appearance at [[Camden Palace]] attracted over 1,000 people on what the Met Office recorded as probably being England's coldest night of the 20th Century.<ref name=buzz1/><ref>You You You ticket for their concert at the Camden Palace http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m526/Beatrice211/You%20You%20You%20British%20Band%201987-1988/YouYouYoupublicityflyer1987.jpg</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/sw/print.html |title=Regional Climate: South West England |publisher=Met Office |date= |accessdate=2014-01-10}}</ref><ref>''Melody Maker'' LIVE! review, 24 January 1987, page 19, ''You You You, Camden Palace, London''.

You You You built up a strong following performing concerts on the club scene including three nights at the [[Hippodrome, London]] (23 January,<ref>You You You concert ticket for the Hippodrome, 23 January 1987, containing a Mark Wardel illustration of the band http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m526/Beatrice211/You%20You%20You%20British%20Band%201987-1988/08042001-3.jpg</ref> 9 February and 6 April),<ref>''Evening Standard'', ''Ad Lib'', 22 January 1987, page 27, ''Beauty and the Beast'', Karen and You You You with photograph of Karen</ref><ref>''City Limits'', 29 January 1987, ''JIVETALK'', music-nightclubs, page 53, Laurence Malice interview by Rose Christie, article contains a photograph of Laurence</ref><ref>''Melody Maker'', 7 February 1987, ''Blondes have more fun'' page 7, article about You You You, with a photograph of Karen and Laurence on stage performing at the Hippodrome</ref> a show at [[Le Palace]] in Paris, which the performance artist [[Leigh Bowery]] hosted,<ref>[[Leigh Bowery]] and You You You concert ticket for [[Le Palace]] http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m526/Beatrice211/You%20You%20You%20British%20Band%201987-1988/YouYouYouandLeighBoweryconcertticket1987Paris.jpg</ref> and performances at [[The Fridge]] in Brixton where they appeared on stage on a huge white staircase with a troupe of synchronised dancers (filmed for Japanese TV),<ref name=buzz1/><ref>''Time Out'', page 46, 25 March 1987, You You You, current faves on the club scene appear at the Fridge on Friday, 27 March - ‘special coaches to the venue will be laid on leaving Charing Cross at 10.30pm returning at 1.00am.’</ref> at Anarchy Club at [[London Astoria]], at [[The Zap]] Club in Brighton (as part of the event ‘Return of the Django goes to Brighton’ on 18 April),<ref>{{cite web|author=Zap Art |url=http://www.zaparchive.org/ |title=www.zaparchive.org |publisher=www.zaparchive.org |date= |accessdate=2014-01-10}}</ref><ref>''Time Out'', Night Life, Speakeasy, 18 April 1987 - Brighton - the outrageous You, You, You appear at the Zap Club in Brighton</ref> at Paradise Lost in Watford and at [[The Limelight]] <ref>You You You invitation for their concert at The Limelight, London, 1987 http://s1130.beta.photobucket.com/user/Beatrice211/media/You%20You%20You%20British%20Band%201987-1988/19092002-2_zps4897ab5d.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0</ref> to name but a few.<ref>''BIZ'' magazine, (''Mail on Sunday'') 21 June 1987, page 3, ''Shooting Stars'', You You You interview and a colour photograph - The audience in Watford didn't know what had hit them.'</ref><ref>''Daily Express'', ''Court In The Act'', 8 July 1987, page 23, Karen O’Connor from You You You sees herself as a sex-bomb in the Jayne Mansfield mould</ref> The band received an invitation to appear at ''The Party'' (a benefit concert held at [[Wembley Arena]] on 1 April for the first ever World AIDS Day).<ref name=buzz1/><ref>You You You - Buzz magazine article and a picture of the band http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m526/Beatrice211/You%20You%20You%20British%20Band%201987-1988/youyouyou1987Buzzmagazinearticle.jpg</ref> On the bill were some of the best known names in the music industry including [[Elton John]], [[George Michael]], [[Bob Geldof]], [[Meat Loaf]], [[Ben E. King]] and [[Kim Wilde]]. The show was televised to over 100 million viewers worldwide. Due to the volume of acts who performed at the event, You You You were allotted an appearance at the After-Party show held at a theatre in London’s West End. The band appeared on stage alongside several pop stars including [[George Michael]], members from the cast of TV’s [[Coronation Street]] and [[EastEnders]] and performers from several West End musicals including [[42nd Street (musical)]] and [[Nunsense]].<ref>[http://www.kathyszaksite.com/aidsday87.html (video details of ''The Party'' concert)]</ref>
On 12 July, You You You made a guest appearance on the [[Channel 4]] TV show [[Network 7]]. Their pop video for ''Head over Heels'' directed by Steven Chivers was premiered on the show and Karen was interviewed by presenter [[Magenta Devine]] inside a specially built caravan. On 17 December, You You You gave a special Christmas Show at the [[Hippodrome, London]] (their 4th appearance at the venue that year). It would become the band's last ever live performance.

In February 1988, You You You signed a deal with Orinoco to record a single for Major Productions under the guidance of Orinoco studios owner Tom Astor. The Lager Brothers - Ken Thomas and [[Zeke Manyika]] (from the band [[Orange Juice (band)|Orange Juice]] - produced two tracks with the band.<ref>''EQ Magazine'', April 1988, page 20, Studio Lockout Update, ‘You You You’ recording single at Orinoco http://s1130.beta.photobucket.com/user/Beatrice211/media/You%20You%20You%20British%20Band%201987-1988/19092012_zpsc3ca705a.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1</ref> In July, the project came to a halt after Karen quit the band to concentrate on her acting career. Soon after, Laurence and Iain created '''Big Bang''' as a duo using session vocalists for recordings and live performances. The single You You You recorded titled 'How Can This be Love' was never released.

'''Big Bang''' signed to Swanyard Records at the start of 1989. The label was founded by Margarita Hamilton owner of [[Walton Castle]] and Big Bang were the first artists to be signed to it. They released their first record on Swanyard Records (SYRTR 1)<ref>[http://www.vinylsearcher.com/Labels/Swanyard.aspx Swanyard Records catalogue]</ref> in June 1989, an Arabic inspired version of the [[ABBA]] classic "[[Voulez-Vous (song)|Voulez-Vous]]"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://myspace.com/big-bang-british-band/music/song/big-bang-voulez-vous-93432103-103936490 |title=Big Bang - Voulez-Vous by Big Bang | Song | Free Music, Listen Now on Myspace |publisher=Myspace.com |date= |accessdate=2014-01-10}}</ref> b-side "Cold Nights In Cairo".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://myspace.com/big-bang-british-band/music/song/big-bang-cold-nights-in-cairo-94390618-105076711 |title=Big Bang - Cold Nights in Cairo by Big Bang | Song | Free Music, Listen Now on Myspace |publisher=Myspace.com |date=2013-11-28 |accessdate=2014-01-10}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vinylsearcher.com/records/28582248/big-bang-7/voulez-vous.aspx |title=Big Bang - Voulez Vous?

Both 7” and 12” versions (plus an 'Imagine Mix' 12" extended version) were released. The band used session vocalists on all their recordings. Lead vocals on "Voulez-Vous" were shared by Jasmine Ventura and Teresa Revill, backing vocals were shared by Iain and Laurence. [[Duran Duran]] guitarist Andy Taylor played guitar on the track.

It was Iain Williams who coined the musical term [[big beat]] to describe the band's sound and explained the concept during an interview with the French journalist Alex Gerry for an article in the London magazine ''Metropolitan'' (issue 132, page 9, 6 June 1989) under the heading, 'BIG BANG IN CLUBLAND. Could BIG BEAT be the 1989 answer to ACID HOUSE?'.<ref>''Metropolitan'' magazine (issue 132, page 9, 6 June 1989)'BIG BANG IN CLUBLAND. Could BIG BEAT be the 1989 answer to ACID HOUSE?</ref> Big Bang's sound consisted of various experimental musical elements including heavy hard rock drum beats and synthesizer-generated loops as well as an added suggestion of European influences that at times had a trance-like quality. Their agent 10 x Better released a press release detailing their musical influences that included [[Dalida]], [[Warda Al-Jazairia]], [[ABBA]], [[Tamla Motown]] and 70s Euro disco.<ref>''Big Bang press release'', 1989, issued by the agency 10 x Better. The press release accompanied promotional copies of their single "Voulez-Vous". It lists Big Bang's musical influences and explains their Big Beat concept.</ref> Big Bang always stated "Cold Nights In Cairo" gave a better impression of the [[big beat]] sound they were aiming for than their recording of "[[Voulez-Vous (song)|Voulez-Vous]]" did. Club DJs picked up on this and both tracks became club floor-fillers. The concept of the [[big beat]] sound was later picked up on and adapted by many club DJs and went on to become widely used by many successful musicians throughout the 1990s.

==1989: Arabic Circus Tour==

During 1989, Big Bang performed several concerts to publicise the release of '[[Voulez-Vous (song)|Voulez-Vous]]' with their lavish Arabic Circus Tour that consisted of various circus acts including acrobats, one-wheel bicycle riders, fire-eaters, jugglers, flying trapeze artists and a belly-dancing troupe.<ref name=to200989>''Time Out'', 20 September 1989, page 5 & 93, Big Bang Arabic Circus Tour</ref> Big Bang were joined on stage by the vocalists Teresa Revill and Jasmine Ventura.

==1990 – 1991==
'''1990''': Throughout 1990 Big Bang concentrated on writing and recording new material with the intention of releasing an album. In October Laurence opened [[Trade nightclub]] at Turnmills in London. Trade was the first all-night after-hours nightclub in Britain and became legendary.<ref>{{cite web|author=Facebook |url=http://blogs.independent.co.uk/tag/laurence-malice/ |title=Laurence Malice Blog Posts | Topic Tags | Independent Blogs |publisher=Blogs.independent.co.uk |date=2011-10-24 |accessdate=2014-01-10}}</ref> On 16 November 1990, Big Bang accompanied by vocalist Jasmine Ventura were flown over to Ireland to represent the United Kingdom in the 13th International Song Festival where they performed their self-penned song "One More Chance." <ref>{{cite web|url=http://archive.is/oAXL |title=Photo of Big Bang 1990 Iain (centre) Laurence (right) with vocalist Jasmine Ventura-crop |publisher=Archive.is |date=2012-08-03 |accessdate=2014-01-10}}</ref> It was the first time the song had been heard in public. The festival, held in [[Cavan]], lasted for two days and was compered by the Irish commentators [[George Hamilton (commentator)]] and [[Larry Gogan]]. The Romanian singer Ricky Dandel gave a guest performance during the festival.<ref>{{cite web|author=Serpi Lucian |url=http://www.rickydandel.com/biographies.htm |title=Official Site - Biographies |publisher=Ricky Dandel |date= |accessdate=2014-01-10}}</ref>
The final was held on 17 November. Big Bang came No. 2 in the competition and No. 1 for performance. During their stay in Ireland Big Bang gave several radio, TV and newspaper interviews.

Upon their return to London, Big Bang parted company with Swanyard Records over musical differences. The band immediately secured interest from [[London Records]] who commissioned them to record a single at The Music Station in Fulham. With a new producer at the helm, Big Bang laid down the backing track to "One More Chance."

'''1991''': Although Big Bang never officially disbanded, in 1991 Laurence and Iain decided to concentrate on their careers away from the band. The new material they wrote and recorded for their intended album titled ''Theory'' was never released.

==2010==
Interest in the band has recently increased. In 2010, digitally remastered bootleg CDs of 'Voulez-Vous' & 'Cold Nights in Cairo' by Big Bang began to appear in America selling for as much as £45.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cdandlp.com/liste/index.cfm?fmt=0&categ_rech=0&seller=0&lng=2&search_mode=1&what=artiste&tete=big-bang&srt=4&page=8&filtre_rech=1&changeselect=0 |title=BIG BANG : vinyl, cd, maxi, lp, ep for sale on |publisher=Cdandlp.com |date=2009-11-02 |accessdate=2014-01-10}}</ref>

'''We Fell to Earth''' are an [[experimental rock]] band from [[London]], [[England]], consisting of [[Wendy Rae Fowler]] and [[Richard File]]. They performed their debut live show on 21 April 2009, at London's ICA to a sold out audience.<ref>[http://www.ica.org.uk/We%20Fell%20to%20Earth%20+19998.twl ICA music blog - We Fell to Earth]</ref> They are represented by [[William Morris Agency]].

==Biography==
Fowler and File met at Rancho de la Luna studios in [[Joshua Tree, California]]. File had joined [[U.N.K.L.E]] after [[DJ Shadow]]'s departure. The pair began writing and recording music soon after, when File met Fowler at her house in the [[San Fernando, California|San Fernando]] district of [[Los Angeles]]. According to Fowler, “We were hanging out talking and there are always a variety of instruments sitting around at my house, Rich picked up a guitar and started playing something I liked, so I picked up my bass and before you knew it we had a song, both singing together, free-flowing creativity. Fifteen minutes later we started another, then minutes after that another – the rest is history".{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}}

Dave Okumu and Leo Taylor of [[The Invisible (band)|The Invisible]] play drums and guitar on the debut album, released in the UK in 2009. Okumu also co-wrote the debut single "Lights Out".<ref>[http://www.discogs.com/We-Fell-To-Earth-We-Fell-To-Earth/release/1861938 Discogs album entry]</ref>

Tracks by the group have been featured in [[United States|US]] dramas:
*"The Double" in ''[[Gossip Girl (TV series)|Gossip Girl]]'' and ''[[CSI: NY]]'' and ''[[The Prisoner]]''
*"Lights Out" In ''[[Numb3rs]]''
*"Careful What You Wish For" in [[CSI: NY]]

In the winter of 2010, the group composed the theme song to [[AMC (TV channel)|AMC]]'s ''[[The Killing (U.S. TV series)|The Killing]]'' from writer, executive producer, and series showrunner, [[Veena Sud]].

==Influences==
We Fell To Earth profess a mutual appreciation of [[Krautrock]]. File said, “We have a mutual appreciation for bands like [[Can (band)|Can]] and [[Faust (band)|Faust]]. The rhythm sections particularly influenced us while making this record, where you have the repetition of dance music but retain the humanity of a rock record. It was the perfect backbone for our evolution. Most of the songs were built around Wendy and I jamming out the rhythm sections".{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}}

==Career==
In 1996 Mo' Wax released one of [[electronic music]]'s most celebrated albums, [[DJ Shadow|DJ Shadow's]] seminal ''[[Endtroducing.....]]''. Soon after this Lavelle started work on an album with DJ Shadow under the name [[UNKLE]]. The resulting release ''[[Psyence Fiction]]'' featured collaborations with [[Richard Ashcroft]], [[Mike D]], [[Badly Drawn Boy]] and [[Thom Yorke]]. (Wil Malone) In 2003, he released a follow-up to Psyence Fiction, titled ''[[Never, Never, Land]]'', though this album saw DJ Shadow replaced by [[Richard File]] as the second full time member of UNKLE. It featured collaborations with [[Robert Del Naja|3D]] of [[Massive Attack]] and [[Josh Homme]] of [[Queens of the Stone Age]] among others.<ref>[http://www.discogs.com/artist/James+Lavelle discogs]</ref>

He is a longtime resident at [[Fabric (club)|Fabric]] in London, mixing the inaugural [[Fabric Live Mix Albums|Fabric Live]] mix album.<ref>[http://www.fabriclondon.com/label/catalogue.php Fabric]</ref> He has also mixed three DJ mix albums for [[Global Underground]].

He has produced a number of film soundtracks, including ''[[Sexy Beast]]''. Also an in demand [[remix]]er, he has reworked tracks by [[Garbage (band)|Garbage]], [[The Verve]], [[Beck]] and [[Massive Attack]].<ref>[http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj_profiles.asp?ID=17 residentadvisor.net]</ref>

In an August 2006 interview with [[The Skinny (magazine)|The Skinny]], Lavelle revealed that he was working with [[Chris Goss (U.S.)|Chris Goss]] and [[Autolux]] on the follow-up to ''[[Never, Never, Land]]'', entitled ''[[War Stories (album)|War Stories]]''. Of the album's direction, he said “It’s rawer than '‘[[Psyence Fiction]]’' and ''[[Never, Never, Land]]'' although it’s more in the vein of the traditional [[singer/songwriter]]. If the first record was UNKLE does hiphop and the second record was UNKLE does electronic, then this one is like UNKLE does rock, but it’ll hopefully still have its continuity.”<ref>[http://www.theskinny.co.uk/article/44466-james-lavelle-what-became-of-the-man-from-unkle theskinny.co.uk]</ref>

He has produced a number of film soundtracks, including ''[[Sexy Beast]]''. Also an in demand [[remix]]er, he has reworked tracks by [[Garbage (band)|Garbage]], [[The Verve]], [[Beck]] and [[Massive Attack]].<ref>[http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj_profiles.asp?ID=17 residentadvisor.net]</ref>

In an August 2006 interview with [[The Skinny (magazine)|The Skinny]], Lavelle revealed that he was working with [[Chris Goss (U.S.)|Chris Goss]] and [[Autolux]] on the follow-up to ''[[Never, Never, Land]]'', entitled ''[[War Stories (album)|War Stories]]''. Of the album's direction, he said “It’s rawer than '‘[[Psyence Fiction]]’' and ''[[Never, Never, Land]]'' although it’s more in the vein of the traditional [[singer/songwriter]]. If the first record was UNKLE does hiphop and the second record was UNKLE does electronic, then this one is like UNKLE does rock, but it’ll hopefully still have its continuity.”<ref>[http://www.theskinny.co.uk/article/44466-james-lavelle-what-became-of-the-man-from-unkle theskinny.co.uk]</ref>

'''The Prodigy''' are an [[England|English]] [[electronic music]] group formed by [[Liam Howlett]] in 1990. The current members include Liam Howlett (keyboardist and composer), [[Keith Flint]] (dancer and vocalist), Leo Crabtree (drums), Rob Holliday (lead guitarist) and [[Maxim Reality|Maxim]] ([[Master of Ceremonies|MC]] and vocalist). [[Leeroy Thornhill]] (dancer and occasional live keyboardist) was a member of the band from 1990 to 2000, as was a female dancer and vocalist called Sharky who left the group during their early period.

Along with [[the Chemical Brothers]], [[Fatboy Slim]] and other acts, The Prodigy have been credited as pioneers of the [[big beat]] genre, which achieved mainstream popularity in the 1990s and 2000s.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/explore/style/big-beat-d4546 |title=Big Beat |work=Allmusic |accessdate=30 September 2011}}</ref> They have sold over 25 million records worldwide.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1906191174/ |title=The Prodigy: Electronic Punks 1988–1994 <nowiki>[Paperback]</nowiki> |work=[[Amazon.com]] |accessdate=30 September 2011}}</ref> The group has won numerous music awards throughout their career, including two [[Brit Awards]]—winning Best British Dance Act twice, three [[MTV Video Music Awards]], two [[Kerrang! Awards]], five [[MTV Europe Music Awards]], and have twice been nominated for [[Grammy Awards]].<ref>[http://www.brits.co.uk/artist/prodigy The Brit Awards: Prodigy] Brits.co.uk. Retrieved 12 February 2012</ref><ref>[http://www.rockonthenet.com/artists-p/prodigy_main.htm The Prodigy] Rock on The Net. Retrieved 12 February 2012</ref>

The group's brand of music makes use of various styles ranging from [[rave music|rave]], [[hardcore techno]], [[Electro-industrial|industrial]], and [[breakbeat]] in the early 1990s to big beat and [[electronic rock]] with [[punk rock|punk]] vocal elements in later times. The Prodigy first emerged on the underground rave scene in the early 1990s and have since achieved popularity and worldwide renown.

==History==

===Beginnings and first appearances (1990–1991)===

[[File:Moog Prodigy.jpg|thumb|left|Liam Howlett named the group after the [[Moog Prodigy]] synthesizer.]]

[[Liam Howlett]] created an initial 10-track demo, put together on a [[Roland W-30]] music workstation in [[Essex]], England. [[XL Recordings]] picked up the demo after Howlett played several tracks to XL boss [[Nick Halkes]] in a meeting, and an initial 12" pressing of "[[What Evil Lurks]]" was released in February 1991. The Prodigy's name was chosen by Liam as a tribute to his first [[Analog synthesizer|analogue synthesiser]], the [[Moog Prodigy]].<ref name="theprodigyname">{{cite book |author=James M |title=Prodigy |year=2002 |publisher=Sanctuary Publishing |page=44}}</ref>

{{Listen|filename=Prodigy G Force (Energy Flow) from Kaos Theory Volume 1.ogg|title=G Force (Energy Flow)|description=An excerpt of the song "G Force (Energy Flow)" from ''Kaos Theory Volume 1'' compilation.}}

The Prodigy's first public performance, with Howlett augmented by dancers [[Keith Flint]] and [[Leeroy Thornhill]], was at the Four Aces in [[Dalston]], London, then home to "Club Labyrinth".<ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2011/dec/09/10-classic-club-nights From the Dug Out and dreads to DMZ and dubstep: 10 classic club nights] The Guardian. Retrieved 20 April 2012</ref>

"[[Charly (song)|Charly]]", released six months later, became a huge hit in the rave scene at the time.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/prodigy-theirlaw |title=The Prodigy: Their Law: The Singles 1990–2005 |author=Mike Schiller |date=23 December 2005 |work=PopMatters |accessdate=30 September 2011 |quote=Songs like “Out of Space” and “Charly” turned into massive club hits}}</ref> The release reached number 3 in the [[UK Singles Chart]], catapulting the band into the wider public attention. The ''[[Kaos Theory]]'' compilation series featured "G Force (Energy Flow)", from their third single, "[[Everybody in the Place]]".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.theofficialcharts.com/artist/_/prodigy/ |title=PRODIGY |work=[[The Official Charts Company]] |accessdate=30 September 2011}}</ref>

After the release of the successful [[Single (music)|single]] "Charly", the charts included various "[[Hardcore techno|hardcore]]" rave tracks that contained cartoon samples, to which [[Amphetamine|speed]] and [[MDMA|ecstasy]]-fuelled clubbers would dance, but which did not appeal to reviewers from publications at the time.<ref name="A Short History of Drum and Bass (Global Darkness)">{{cite web |url=http://www.globaldarkness.com/articles/history%20of%20drum%20and%20bass%202.htm |title=A short history of Drum and Bass |author=Ben Gilman |work=globaldarkness.com |accessdate=13 October 2011}}</ref> Examples were tracks such as [[Urban Hype]]'s "[[A Trip to Trumpton]]" and [[Smart E's]] (as in [[Methylenedioxymethamphetamine|Ecstasy]]) "[[Sesame's Treet]]", instigating death-by-publicity to the underground "hardcore rave" scene, according to a number of critics associated with the scene.<ref name="A Short History of Drum and Bass (Global Darkness)"/> As a result, "Charly", amid being titled after a contemporary reference to [[cocaine]], with its memorable [[sampling (music)|sample]] of the "[[Charley Says]]" children's [[public information film]]s, saw The Prodigy briefly identified by critics as "kiddie rave" or "toytown techno". Critical reception to the single was generally mixed.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.stylusmagazine.com/reviews/the-prodigy/their-law-the-singles-1990-2005.htm |title=The Prodigy – Their Law: The Singles 1990–2005 |author=Thomas Inskeep |date=8 May 2006 |work=Stylus Magazine |accessdate=30 September 2011}}</ref>

=== Experience (1992–1993) ===

The band's first full length album, the critically acclaimed ''[[Experience (The Prodigy album)|Experience]]'', followed "Charly" as a landmark release in the history of British rave music. The album closes with a live version of "Death of the Prodigy Dancers", featuring Maxim on vocals. There were five singles spawned from the album: "Charly", "Everybody in the Place", "[[Fire/Jericho]]", "[[Out of Space (song)|Out of Space]]", and "[[Wind It Up (Rewound)]]"; the latter is a remix of "Wind It Up". The album was a commercial success in the UK, but failed to chart in other countries. Peaking at number 12, it was certified Platinum by the [[British Phonographic Industry]].<ref name="UK Charts">{{cite web | title = UK Top 40 Hit Database | work = everyHit.com | url =http://www.everyhit.com/ | accessdate = 2 October 2011}} Note: User must define search parameters as "Prodigy".</ref><ref name="BPI">{{cite web | url = http://www.bpi.co.uk/certifiedawards/search.aspx | title = Certified Awards Search | work = [[British Phonographic Industry]] | accessdate = 2 October 2011}} Note: Reader must type "Prodigy" into the Search box and hit Go.</ref>

After ''Experience'' and the run of singles that accompanied it, The Prodigy moved to distance themselves from the "kiddie rave" reputation that now dogged them. The rave scene was beginning to move on from its hardcore phase, with the [[Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994|Criminal Justice Act]]'s "anti-rave" legislation on the horizon, calling rave music "repetitive beats".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.theprodigy.info/reviews/jilted.shtml |title=Review: |author=Martin Bate |work=theprodigy.info |accessdate=13 October 2011}}</ref> The Prodigy responded to the bill by writing "Their Law".

=== ''Music for the Jilted Generation'' (1993–1995) ===

In 1993, Howlett released an anonymous [[white label]], bearing only the title "Earthbound I". Its hypnotic, hard-edged sound won wide underground approval. It was officially released as "One Love" later that year, and went on to chart at number 8 in the UK.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.theprodigy.info/discography/promos/onelove/index.shtml |title=Promo |work=theprodigy.info |accessdate=2 October 2011}}</ref> The following year, The Prodigy's second album, ''[[Music for the Jilted Generation]]'', debuted in the [[UK Albums Chart]] at number one, and jettisoned into positive reactions from album critics.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/music-for-the-jilted-generation-r203543 |title=Music for the Jilted Generation - The Prodigy |author=John Bush |work=Allmusic |accessdate=8 October 2011}}</ref> Adding elements of [[big beat]] and [[electro-industrial]] to the mix, the album expressed a wider spectrum of musical styles, with heavy breakbeat-based tracks complemented by the concept sequence ''The Narcotic Suite'' and a rock-oriented inclination, "Their Law", featuring [[Pop Will Eat Itself]].

The album was nominated for a [[Mercury Music Prize]], although Howlett had reaffirmed his dedication to making The Prodigy a 'hard dance band', commercially successful but without compromise.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://theprodigyfanboy.com/even-more/books/ |title=Books |date=31 August 2011 |work=theprodigyfanboy.com |accessdate=13 October 2011}}</ref> The band managed to continue to prevent over-exposure in the media by refusing to appear on ''[[Top of the Pops]]'' or other television shows in the UK.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2004/aug/20/popandrock.prodigy |title=Prodigal son |date=20 August 2004 |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |accessdate=13 October 2011}}</ref> To date, their only studio appearance on British television came when they appeared on the BBC2 series ''Dance Energy'' in 1991, performing "Everybody in the Place". In the ensuing years, their videos received a strong level of support by MTV Europe, which boosted their popularity across the continent. Keith Flint himself hosted an episode of the MTV show ''120 Minutes'' in 1995.

Following the international success of ''Music for the Jilted Generation'', the band augmented their line-up with guitarist [[Jim Davies (musician)|Jim Davies]] (a live band member who later joined the group [[Pitchshifter (band)|Pitchshifter]]) in 1995 for tracks such as "Their Law", "Break and Enter 95", and various live-only interludes and versions. He was soon to be replaced by Gizz Butt of the band Janus Stark, who remained with the band for the next three years.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gizzbutt.com/gb/site-bands.asp |title=Bands |work=gizzbutt.com |accessdate=2 October 2011}}</ref>

=== ''The Fat of the Land'' and controversies (1996–2002) ===

The release of "[[Firestarter (The Prodigy song)|Firestarter]]" in 1996, featuring vocals for the first time courtesy of a new-look Keith Flint, helped the band break into the U.S. and other overseas markets, and reached number one on the [[UK Singles Chart]].<ref name="Roberts">Roberts, David (2006).

The long-awaited third Prodigy album, ''[[The Fat of the Land]]'', was released in 1997, just as the band headlined the [[Glastonbury Festival]] on its opening night.<ref name="Q 12 '97 The Prodigy"/> Featuring simplified melodies, sparser sampling, less rave music influences, and [[Punk rock|punk]]-like vocals supplied by a shockingly madeover Flint, the album nevertheless retained the bone-jarring breaks and buzzsaw synths so idiomatic of the band. The album cemented the band's position as one of the most internationally successful acts in the dance genre, entering the UK and US charts at number one.<ref name="Roberts"/><ref>{{cite journal |journal=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |year=1997 |accessdate=2 October 2011}}</ref>

The Prodigy were getting considerable airplay on [[rock music|rock]] stations with their controversial track "[[Smack My Bitch Up]]"—and also a negative backlash for the song. The [[National Organization for Women]] (NOW) criticized the song and its music video. The song's [[lyrics]] consist entirely of the repeated phrase "Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up", which NOW stated are a "dangerous and offensive message advocating violence against women".<ref name=latimes97>{{cite journal |author=Chuck Philips |date=4 December 1997 |title=Time Warner Again Faces the Music Over Song Lyrics |journal=[[LA Times]] |accessdate=2 October 2011}}</ref> Howlett responded to the criticism by stating that the meaning of the song and its lyrics were being misinterpreted, and the phrase meant "doing anything intensely, like being on stage – going for extreme manic energy".<ref name=latimes97 /> The band did not actually write the lyric, but rather, sampled it from the [[hip hop]] [[Ultramagnetic MCs]]' track "Give the Drummer Some"<ref>''The Fat of the Land'' liner notes.</ref> which also appears on the ''[[The Dirtchamber Sessions Volume One|Dirtchamber Sessions]]''; they had also sampled another Ultramagnetic MCs song "Critical Beatdown" on their earlier "[[Out of Space]]" single.<ref>Liner notes from "Out of Space" single and ''Experience'' album.</ref> The National Organization for Women also believed that the lyrics are in reference to administering [[heroin]] (smack) to another person.<ref name="Ottawa Citizen NOW Prodigy">{{cite news |title=Music group, Prodigy, causing controversy with its new song and video |newspaper=[[The Ottawa Citizen]] |date=12 September 1997 |accessdate=13 October 2011}}</ref> Several radio stations limited the song's airplay to nighttime hours.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Music: The Prodigy |journal=[[Metropolis (free magazine)|Metropolis]] |issue=409 |accessdate=2 October 2011}}</ref> In September 1997, The Prodigy performed "[[Breathe (The Prodigy song)|Breathe]]" at the [[1997 MTV Video Music Awards]], and won the [[MTV Video Music Award – Viewer's Choice|Viewer's Choice Award]].<ref>[http://www.mtv.com/ontv/vma/1997/ 1997 MTV Video Music Awards] MTV.com.

The [[music video]] for "Smack My Bitch Up", directed by [[Jonas Åkerlund]], featured a first-person point of view of someone going clubbing and indulging in large amounts of drugs and alcohol. Other content shown includes the protagonist getting into fist fights with men, abusing women, vomiting repeatedly, and picking up a [[lap dance]]r (played by British glamour model [[Teresa May]]) and having sex with her. Much of the aforementioned is depicted fairly explicitly. At the end of the video, the camera pans over to a mirror, revealing the subject to be a woman. [[MTV]] only aired the video between 1 and 5 a.m due to the controversial material.<ref>{{cite news|title=Prodigy Video To Air On MTV As Controversy Continues|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1433371/19971204/prodigy.jhtml|work=MTV News|date=4 December 1997|accessdate=2 October 2011}}</ref> After one week, the very same television network banned the music video at NOW's request.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1433366/mtv-explains-decision-pull-prodigy.jhtml |title=MTV Explains Decision To Pull Prodigy |date=22 December 1997 |work=MTV News |accessdate=2 October 2011}}</ref> The director got the inspiration for the contents of the video after a night of drinking and partying in [[Copenhagen]].<ref name="Ottawa Citizen NOW Prodigy"/>

During a performance at the [[Reading Festival]] on 29 August 1998, The Prodigy and the [[Beastie Boys]] had an onstage disagreement over the track, with the Beastie Boys requesting the song should be pulled from their set as it could be considered offensive to those who had suffered domestic abuse.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rockonthenet.com/artists-b/beastieboys_main.htm |title=Beastie Boys |work=rockonthenet.com |accessdate=2 October 2011}}</ref> Choosing to ignore the Beastie Boys plea, Maxim introduced "Smack My Bitch Up" with the declaration "They didn't want us to play this fucking tune.

[[Wal-Mart]] and [[Kmart]] later announced they would pull ''The Fat of the Land'' off their shelves. Despite the fact that the [[Gramophone record|LP]] had resided on their store shelves for over 20 weeks, and the fact that they had sold 150,000 copies of the album in total, the two stores found the marketing campaign for the new single release "offensive".<ref>{{cite news |title=The Prodigy and their prodigious talent |url=http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/the-prodigy-and-their-prodigious-talent-510801.html |newspaper=[[The Independent]] |date=14 October 2005 |accessdate=2 October 2011}}</ref> At the [[1998 MTV Video Music Awards]] in Los Angeles, "Smack My Bitch Up" won two awards; [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Dance Video|Best Dance Video]] and [[MTV Video Music Award - Breakthrough Video|Breakthrough Video]].<ref>[http://www.rockonthenet.com/archive/1998/mtvvmas.htm 1998 MTV Video Music Awards] Rock On The Net.

1999 saw the release of The Prodigy's ''[[The Dirtchamber Sessions Volume One]]'', a DJ mix album by Howlett, produced as an official record of a successful guest appearance on the British [[BBC Radio 1|Radio 1]].<ref>{{cite interview |subject=[[Liam Howlett]] |title=BBC Radio 1 Breezeblock |program=The Breezeblock |url=http://www.brainkiller.it/prodigy/news/breezeblock2aug.php |accessdate=13 October 2011}}</ref> In June of the same year, when the band had arguably reached their commercial peak, they parted company with guitarist Gizz Butt.

Following 1999, Thornhill departed from the group while he divorced [[Sara Cox]] due to the risk of nervous breakdown, resulting in the band's website being replaced with their logo and the words "We will be back..." set against a black background, which would remain until 2002.<ref>{{cite news |title=I quit the Prodigy and life fell apart; Leeroy Thornhill tells how his split with DJ Sara Cox edged him close to a nervous breakdown... |author=John Dingwall |url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-70996289.html |newspaper=Daily Record (Scotland) |date=2 March 2001 |accessdate=2 October 2011}}</ref> [[File:Theprodigywebsite1999.png|thumb|The band's website after Thornhill left in 1999.]]

=== Reunion (2002–2004) ===

In 2002, after a break from touring and recording, the single "[[Baby's Got a Temper]]" was released to critical disappointment. The song was written by Keith Flint's sideband, [[Flint (band)|Flint]], produced by Howlett, and also featured Jim Davies. Once again, the band courted controversy by including references to the so-called "[[date rape]]" drug [[Rohypnol]] in the song's lyrics.<ref>{{cite news | last = James | first = Martin | url = http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/liam-howlett-punk-and-disorderly-646664.html | title = Liam Howlett: Punk and disorderly | newspaper = [[The Independent]] |date=28 June 2002 | accessdate = 2 October 2011}}</ref> The song's music video was also controversial, which featured topless women milking cows in a suggestive fashion. The complete, unedited video was aired on [[MTV2]] in 2002 as part of a special countdown showing the most controversial videos ever to air on MTV. This countdown was only shown late at night because of the graphic imagery of "Smack My Bitch Up" and several other videos on the countdown, including [[Nine Inch Nails]]' 1994 hit "[[Closer (Nine Inch Nails song)|Closer]]". The "Smack My Bitch Up" video in particular was deemed the "Most Controversial Video" by MTV and showed at the number 1 spot on the countdown.<ref name="PopMatters Howlett"/> In the same year, however, ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]'' magazine named The Prodigy one of the "50 Bands to See Before You Die".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/qlistspage2.html#Die%E2%80%A6 |title=Q Magazine Lists |work=Rocklist.net |accessdate=2 October 2011}}</ref>

This year also saw the marriage of Howlett and [[All Saints (band)|All Saints]]' [[Natalie Appleton]] on 6 June.<ref name="IMDb Howlett">{{cite web |url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1126193/bio |title=Liam Howlett biography|accessdate=2 October 2011 |work=The Internet Movie Database}}</ref> Their son, Ace Billy, was born on 2 March 2004.

=== ''Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned'' (2004–2008) ===

[[File:Liam Howlett.jpg|thumb|The Prodigy band member and founder [[Liam Howlett]] live in August 2005.]]

The Prodigy's fourth studio album, ''[[Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned]]'', was released on 23 August 2004, and 14 September 2004 in the USA. A precursory and experimental single, "[[Girls/Memphis Bells|Memphis Bells]]", was released in very limited numbers, followed by the traditional release of the single "[[Girls (The Prodigy song)|Girls]]". The U.S. version of the studio album contained a bonus track; a remix of "Girls", entitled "More Girls". The album, which topped the [[UK Album Charts]] on its debut week,<ref name="UK Charts"/> was promoted by a 2-year-long tour.

5,000 digital copies of "Memphis Bells" were sold over the [[Internet]]. Each copy was a combination of customer-chosen instrumental, rhythmic, and melodic options, of which 39,600 choices were available. Five mixes were sold in three file formats, [[WAV]], two audio mixes in [[MP3]], and a 5.1 [[DTS Coherent Acoustics|DTS]] [[surround sound]] mix, and all were free of [[digital rights management]].<ref name="PopMatters Howlett"/>

In 2005, they released a compilation, ''[[Their Law: The Singles 1990-2005]]'', which spawned a [[Voodoo People (Pendulum Remix)/Out of Space (Audio Bullys Remix)|single containing new remixes]] of the songs "Out of Space" (the "Audio Bullys Remix") and "Voodoo People" (the "[[Pendulum (drum and bass group)|Pendulum]] Remix").

The two albums also featured expanded artwork in addition to the new musical content.

When asked about the idea, Howlett responded that they were getting ready to make a new album:

<blockquote>No, we're all done with that [those albums] now, all the old material. We didn't actually want to do the ''Greatest Hits'', we were ready to start our new record—until the record company pointed out that it was in the contract. But then we got into it, and tried to be creative with it as much as [we could]. And, you know, we ended up being really proud of it. You have to have a different brain when you're doing a record like that. It's more about [saying] "this is your achievement"; I could hold in one hand all the records we've released, so that was cool. We're moving on now, and getting on with the new record.<ref name="PopMatters Howlett">{{cite web | last = O'Neal

==Musical career==

===Joy Division (1976-1980)===
Sumner was a founder member of Joy Division, a [[post-punk]] band formed in 1976. The band are widely considered one of the most influential bands of the era. Primarily known as the band's lead guitarist (his main guitars were a [[Gibson SG]] and a Shergold Custom Masquerader), Sumner also played keyboards for [[Synthesizer|synth]] parts and made his first vocal appearance on record singing the chorus of "They Walked In Line" on the ''[[Warsaw (Joy Division album)|Warsaw]]'' album. In May 1980, the band's vocalist [[Ian Curtis]] committed suicide.

===New Order (1980-1993)===
Sumner and remaining bandmates [[Peter Hook]] and [[Stephen Paul David Morris|Stephen Morris]] started a new band named [[New Order]], joined by [[Gillian Gilbert]] in October 1980. Though Hook, Morris and Gilbert also contributed vocals on some early tracks, Sumner emerged as the band's permanent vocalist and lyricist, alongside playing [[guitar]] and [[Keyboard instrument|keyboards]]. The band released six studio albums before splitting in 1993.

===Electronic (1989-1999)===
In 1989, Sumner joined up with former [[The Smiths|Smiths]] guitarist [[Johnny Marr]] to form [[Electronic (band)|Electronic]]. The [[Pet Shop Boys]]' [[Neil Tennant]] collaborated on a number of tracks on their debut eponymous album, providing vocals. Sumner was vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist and lyricist.

===New Order reunion (1998-2007)===
In 1998, New Order reconvened and subsequently released another two studio albums. The band split up in 2007 after a disagreement between Hook and the remaining members. In 2009, Sumner was quoted as saying he no longer wished to make music as New Order.<ref name="Mojo09">Wilkinson, Roy (August 2009). "Sumner Speaks". ''[[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]]''. London: [[Bauer Media Group]]. p. 18.</ref>

Their debut LP, ''[[Never Cry Another Tear]],'' was released in October 2009. The band followed up with a tour of the United Kingdom.

===New Order second reunion (2011-Present)===
In October 2011, New Order (without Hook) returned with live dates in [[Brussels]] and [[Paris]]. A UK tour followed this through early 2012. The band announced in September 2012 that work on a new album would begin in 2013.

==Other musical projects==
In 1981, [[Pauline Murray And The Invisible Girls]] released their last single ''[[Searching For Heaven]]'', whose main song featured Sumner on guitar, although he was not credited in the sleeves of its 7" and 10" edition at the time.<ref>[http://www.discogs.com/Pauline-Murray-And-The-Invisible-Girls-Untitled/release/685055 Discogs.com]</ref>

In 1983 Sumner co-produced, with Donald Johnson, the band Foreign Press and 'The Great Divide'/'Love in a Strange Place'. Foreign Press (aka Emergency) had had a long history with Sumner through both Joy Division and New Order.

In 1990 he worked with former [[Factory Records]] labelmates [[A Certain Ratio]] remixing their song "Won't Stop Loving You". He has also recorded tracks with fellow Mancunians [[808 State]] and [[Sub Sub]]. Sumner appeared as guest vocalist and guitarist (alongside [[Primal Scream]]'s [[Bobby Gillespie]]) on [[The Chemical Brothers]]' 1999 album ''[[Surrender (The Chemical Brothers album)|Surrender]]'', on the track "[[Out of Control (The Chemical Brothers song)|Out of Control]]", and in the 2005 Chemical Brothers show at the [[Brixton Academy]], Sumner appeared live on stage as a special guest on this track. He recently lent vocals and guitar to a track ("Miracle Cure") on German trance outfit [[Blank & Jones]] 2008 release, "The Logic of Pleasure." Sumner also appeared on the Primal Scream track Shoot Speed Kill Light from their 2000 album [[XTRMNTR]].

He has also done several [[remix]]es, such as [[Technotronic]]'s "[[Rockin' Over the Beat]]" (which was featured in the ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III]]'' soundtrack) and served as a record producer for other [[Factory Records]] acts such as [[Happy Mondays]] (whose second single ''Freaky Dancin''' he produced in 1986). [[Shark Vegas]], [[Abecedarians (band)|Abecedarians]], [[52nd Street (band)|52nd Street]] and [[Section 25]]. It is said that he will be contributing a remix to [[Depeche Mode]]'s upcoming remix album.

==Personal life==
Sumner was married to Sue Barlow (born 1956) on 28 October 1978.<ref name=joydiv.org>[http://www.joydiv.org/members.htm Short bio at JoyDiv.org]</ref> They have a son James Christopher (born 1983). The couple divorced in 1989, just before the release of ''[[Technique (album)|Technique]]'', an experience reflected in the song "[[Round & Round (New Order song)|Round & Round]]." Sue is a relative of [[Gary Barlow]].

Sumner lives in [[Alderley Edge]], Cheshire with his second wife, Sarah Dalton. They have three children: Dylan Christian (born 1992), Tess Iona (born 1994) and Finley Emil (born 2003). He is a fan of [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]].<ref>[http://www.redcafe.net/f6/bernard-sumner-interview-72206/ Bernard Sumner interview - RedCafe.net]</ref>

He is commonly known by the nickname "Barney", although he is reportedly not fond of the name. An early Joy Division bootleg credited him as "[[Barney Rubble]]".

In the past, Sumner has also used the surnames Dicken and Albrecht. He has also been reluctant to discuss his family background until 2007 when it was revealed his mother had [[cerebral palsy]] and that he had been adopted by his stepfather John Dickin. "Sumner" was his mother's maiden name and is the name which appears on his birth certificate. The revelations about his past were made in a book about his life, ''Bernard Sumner: Confusion: Joy Division, Electronic and New Order Versus the World'' by [[David Nolan (British author)|David Nolan]], published in 2008 – on which Sumner co-operated. "Albrecht" is a stage name Sumner adopted in the Joy Division period, inspired by the manufacturer's name on an [[amplifier]] used by the band in their early days.

==Film portrayals==
Sumner has been portrayed on film twice. [[John Simm]] played him in the 2002 film ''[[24 Hour Party People]]'', which focused on [[Factory Records]]. In the Ian Curtis biopic, ''[[Control (2007 film)|Control]]'', he is played by [[James Pearson (actor)|James Anthony Pearson]].

'''Pukkelpop''' is an annual [[music festival]] that takes place near the city of [[Hasselt]], [[Belgium]] in mid-to-late August. It is held within a large enclosure of fields and woodland—between a dual carriageway called ''Kempische Steenweg''—in the village of [[Kiewit]], approximately 7 km north of Hasselt. It is the second largest music festival in the country after [[Rock Werchter]], with an attendance rate of 180,000 over the course of the event in 2009.<ref>{{cite web|author=John Gammon |url=http://www.pollstar.com/blogs/news/archive/2009/08/29/686600.aspx |title=Pukkelpop Smashes Records|publisher=Pollstar |date=2009-08-29 |accessdate=2011-08-22}}</ref>

The program is noted for its wide variety of alternative music, spanning styles such as rock, pop, electronic, dance, hip-hop, punk and heavy metal. The event's organizers aim the festival to be a "progressive and contemporary" musical event.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/entertainment/04/festivals/html/pukkelpop.stm |title=Festival Guide 2004|publisher=BBC News |date= |accessdate=2011-08-22}}</ref> Notable acts that have performed at previous editions include [[Sonic Youth]], [[The Mission (band)|The Mission]], [[Ramones]], [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]], [[The Sisters of Mercy]], [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]], [[The Smashing Pumpkins]], [[Foo Fighters]], [[Radiohead]], [[Metallica]], [[Green Day]], [[Blink-182]], [[Guns N' Roses]], [[Pixies]], [[Daft Punk]], [[The Prodigy]], [[Nine Inch Nails]], [[Iron Maiden]], [[Björk]], and [[The Stone Roses]]. The term "pukkel" is the Dutch word for "pimple".

The 2013 edition took place on August 15, 16 and 17, featuring headliners [[Nine Inch Nails]], [[The Prodigy]], [[Eminem]] and [[The xx]]. Another headliner, [[Neil Young|Neil Young & Crazy Horse]], canceled a week before his appearance and was replaced by [[Major Lazer]].<ref>http://www.nme.com/news/various-artists/69263</ref>

==History==

The festival was founded in 1985 by youth organisation Humanistic Youth of Leopoldsburg ({{lang-nl|Humanistische Jongeren van Leopoldsburg}}, or "Hujo"). It originated as a single day event, held on July 21—a national holiday in Belgium—in the village of [[Leopoldsburg]], located approximately 25 km north of the event's current home in Kiewit. The inaugural event in 1985 took place at the village football grounds of Complex Excelsior Heppen and featured seven acts, with English songwriter [[Anne Clark]] headlining. The first year was attended by 3,000 people.

In 1988, the festival moved to the village of [[Hechtel-Eksel]] where it was held at Sanicole Airfield. The festival was also moved to late August. In 1989, the festival was cancelled after the two headliners, [[The Pogues]] and [[The Sugarcubes]], cancelled their appearances a few weeks before the event. The festival returned in 1990, again taking place in Hechtel-Eksel, and reached a peak of 10,000 attendees. [[Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds]] headlined.

In 1991, the festival moved to its current home in Kiewit. In its first year, the event took place on the grounds of the children's petting farm (Dutch: ''Kinderboerderij'') located in the village. Ramones headlined on a bill which included Nirvana, who performed at the festival a month prior to the release of the group's breakthrough album ''[[Nevermind]]''. In 1992, the festival site was moved to the fields by the Kempische Steenweg motorway, where it has been held ever since.

In 1993, a new indoor stage called The Marquee was added, supplementing the outdoor Main Stage and almost doubling the amount of performers over the previous year. A second indoor stage, the Dance Hall, was added in 1994. In 1995, for the festival's tenth anniversary, the event became a two-day event for the first time, with Neil Young and The Smashing Pumpkins as the headlining acts. The festival also reached a peak in attendees at 60,000.

In 1996, two new stages were added: the outdoor Skate Stage, and a smaller-sized marquee called Club. Another marquee, named the Boiler Room, was added in 1997, bringing the total number of stages to six. From 1998 to 2001, the Skate Stage was renamed to the Hip-hop Stage for one of the two festival days, exclusively focused on rap and hip-hop artists such as [[Jurassic 5]] and [[The Pharcyde]]. In 1999, the dance event Creamfields was amalgamated into Pukkelpop on the first day of the event; as a result most of the existing stages exclusively showcased dance music under different names. 1999 also saw the debut of the Experimental Stage, renamed to ChateauXCrapule the following year, and shortened to Chateau from the 2004 edition.

In 2000, an exchange programme was announced with [[Oppikoppi]], an annual music festival held in [[South Africa]] near the city of [[Pretoria]]. In the same year, Eminem was forced to cancel his confirmed headline slot at the festival as he was barred from leaving the United States.

In 2001, the festival became a three-day event for the first time, reaching an attendance peak of 115,000, a 76% increase over the previous year. In 2004, an eighth stage was added, called Wablief? (Dutch word for "What?"). In 2005, the festival celebrated its 20th anniversary, featuring headliners Pixies, [[The Prodigy]] and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. The event also reached another attendance peak, totaling 137,000 festival-goers.

The festival returned in 2010 for its 25th anniversary, with Iron Maiden, [[Placebo (band)|Placebo]], [[Queens of the Stone Age]] and [[Snow Patrol]] among the headlining acts. The 2010 edition was notable as the first ever Pukkelpop to have sold out its entire allotment of tickets, approximately five weeks prior to the commencement of the festival.

==Incidents==
During the 2010 festival, two musicians died. [[Michael Been]], lead singer and guitarist of [[The Call (band)|The Call]], died on August 19 of a heart attack after performing duties as sound engineer for [[Black Rebel Motorcycle Club]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Morris |first=Christopher |url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118023117.html?categoryId=25&cs=1 |title=The Call front man Michael Been dies|publisher=Variety |date=2010-08-19 |accessdate=2011-08-22}}</ref> On August 20, [[Ou Est Le Swimming Pool]] singer Charles Haddon committed suicide by jumping from a telecommunications mast in the backstage parking area, shortly after the group's performance at the festival.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/aug/21/charles-haddon-belgium-pukkelpop-dead |title=Ou Est Le Swimming Pool singer Charles Haddon found dead in Belgium|publisher=Guardian |date= August 21, 2010|accessdate=2011-08-22 |location=London}}</ref> Haddon was reported to be upset about an injury sustained by a fan after stage-diving into the crowd.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/956703/pukkelpop-fest-responds-to-singers-death |title=Pukkelpop Fest Responds to Singer's Death |publisher=Billboard.com |date=2010-08-24 |accessdate=2011-08-22}}</ref>

The 2011 festival was affected by a severe thunderstorm during the evening of August 18, 2011, the opening day of the event. Torrential rain and strong winds toppled several concert tents, uprooted trees and knocked down festival light towers and video screens. The Chateau tent collapsed shortly after American rock band [[Smith Westerns]] began performing their set. Lead singer/guitarist Cullen Omori updated the band's [[Twitter]] account directly after the incident: "Stage collapsed max almost got crushed by trees, I hope pukkelpop has insurance bc all our shit is broke [sic].", however this message was later removed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/touring/stage-collapses-at-pukkelpop-festival-in-1005321472.story|title=Stage Collapses at Pukkelpop Festival in Belgium, At Least Three Dead, Scores Injured (Update)|publisher=Billboard.biz|date=2010-08-18 |accessdate=2011-08-22}}</ref> Five people were killed, and at least 140 were injured.<ref>{{cite web|title=Pukkelpop Festival Death Toll Rises To Five|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1669348/pukkelpop-music-festival-deaths.jhtml|publisher=MTV|accessdate=21 August 2011}}</ref><ref name="rollingstone1">{{cite web|title=Pukkelpop Death Toll Drops to Four| url=http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/pukkelpop-death-toll-drops-to-four-20110822|publisher=Rolling Stone|accessdate=21 August 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Vijfde dode na drama op Pukkelpop| url=http://www.deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws/drama%2Bop%2BPukkelpop/110824_PP_Vijfdeslachtoffer|publisher=deredactie.be|accessdate=24 August 2011}}</ref> The death toll was originally believed to be five, however this figure was later dropped to four; Belgian media have suggested that a man who died in a local hospital and did not attend the festival was erroneously counted as a reported death.<ref name="rollingstone1"/> Another victim died five days later in the hospital, which brought the death toll back to five.<ref>{{cite web|title=Zwaargewonde Pukkelpopganger overleden in ziekenhuis|url=http://www.standaard.be/artikel/detail.aspx?artikelid=DMF20110824_096|publisher=De Standaard|language=Dutch|date=August 24, 2011|accessdate=August 28, 2011}}</ref> Following the storm, officials of the event announced that all music performances for the remainder of the night would be cancelled and that the festival would be put on hold "until we understand the situation completely". On August 19, 2011, the organisers decided to cancel the entire event. A statement read:
{{cquote|Pukkelpop is in deep mourning. We truly sympathise with the families and friends of the victims. Words are not enough. We have struggled with the decision to continue the festival. Therefore we have decided to cancel Pukkelpop 2011. What has happened is very exceptional and could not have been predicted. We are deeply moved by all the spontaneous support the festival goers and the organisation have received.|}}

The closest [[anemometer]], in the town of [[Diepenbeek]], recorded gusts above 80 km/h (50 mph), with reports of large hail and the possibility of a tornado.<ref>{{cite news|title=Weatherwatch: Storms lead to collapsed stages and damage| url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/2011/aug/22/weatherwatch-storms-stage-damage|publisher=Guardian|accessdate=22 August 2011|location=London|first=Rachel|last=Vince|date=August 22, 2011}}</ref> However, research done by specialists after the event, showed that the actual wind speed at the festival site reached 170 km/h (106 mph).<ref>{{cite news|title=Pukkelpop kreeg windstoten van 170km/u over zich heen| url=http://www.hbvl.be/limburg/hasselt/pukkelpop-kreeg-windstoten-van-170-km-per-uur-over-zich-heen.aspx|date=September 4, 2011}}</ref>

The 2011 festival was to have featured Eminem, Foo Fighters, [[The Offspring]], [[Deus (band)|dEUS]] and [[Thirty Seconds to Mars]] among the headlining acts. The incident came just five days after the [[Indiana State Fair stage collapse]] in the United States, which killed seven people, and sparked debate about regulations in outdoor concert events.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/1042268--why-are-outdoor-musical-stages-collapsing |title=World News: Why are outdoor musical stages collapsing? |publisher=thestar.com |date= August 19, 2011|accessdate=2011-08-23 |location=Toronto |first=Debra |last=Black}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/24/arts/music/after-accidents-a-call-for-regulation.html?_r=1|title=After Accidents, a Call for Regulation |publisher=The New York Times |date= August 23, 2011|accessdate=2011-08-26 |first=James C. |last=McKinley Jr}}</ref>

==Camping and transport facilities==

Pukkelpop provides free camping facilities to attendees. The camping site lies on one side of ''Kempische Steenweg''—with the main event grounds located directly on the other—and is opened on the day prior to the commencement of the event. Traffic guards are implemented in order to direct traffic and attendees during the festival period. To incentivise use of public transport, an outward return trip within Belgium to Hasselt or Kiewit on the [[National Railway Company of Belgium|NMBS/SNCB]] train network or on the [[De Lijn]] bus network is included with all ticket types. A free shuttle bus, which runs regularly during the festival period, is also provided to-and-from Hasselt train station and the festival site in Kiewit. There are two ticket types available: day tickets, which provide access to one of the three days of the event, and "combi" tickets, which provide access to all three days of the festival.

'''''Brand New Machine''''' is the third studio album by British bass music production duo [[Chase & Status]]. It was released on 7 October 2013 by [[MTA Records]] under exclusive license to [[Mercury Records]]. The album features vocal contributions from a new wave of British talent, including [[Louis M^ttrs]], [[Moko (singer)|Moko]], [[Jacob Banks (musician)|Jacob Banks]] and Elli Ingram, as well as contributions from [[Major Lazer]], [[Nile Rodgers]] and rapper [[Pusha T]].<ref>http://www.chaseandstatus.co.uk/news.php?id=372</ref> The duo toured the album with an arena tour beginning on 31 October 2013.<ref>http://www.chaseandstatus.co.uk/news.php?id=367</ref> They also headlined [[BBC Radio 1Xtra|1Xtra Live]] at the [[Bournemouth International Centre]] on the same day as the release of the album.

==Background and release==
The promotional single "[[Big Man (Chase & Status song)|Big Man]]" featuring [[Liam Bailey]] was released through online retailers on 16 October 2012, although a free download was offered through their official website. The song features as a bonus track on the American edition of the album. "[[Lost & Not Found]]", the lead single, was the first standard album track to be premiered almost a year after "Big Man". It was followed by "[[Count on Me (Chase & Status song)|Count on Me]]", the album's second single. "[[Machine Gun (Chase & Status song)|Machine Gun]]" was uploaded to their [[SoundCloud]] and sent to radio stations in August 2013 as a precursor to the album. On 28 September, the duo appeared on [[MistaJam]]'s [[BBC Radio 1Xtra]] show for a guest mix, in which they premiered several album tracks including "International" and "Gangsta Boogie".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03bmd1n|title=BBC Radio 1Xtra - MistaJam, Chase and Status Guest Mix|publisher=[[BBC Radio 1Xtra]]|date=2013-09-28}}</ref> Will, better known as Status, appeared once again on MistaJam's show on 2 October 2013 to talk about the album track-by-track. Several more album tracks were premiered on the show: "[[Alive (Chase & Status song)|Alive]]", "Breathing" and "Pressure". The following day, short previews of each standard edition album track were uploaded to Chase & Status' official [[YouTube]] channel.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQkUwxLqK2GVAXDdsIYnEGlplIU1xTZc8|title='Brand New Machine' Previews|publisher=YouTube|date=2013-10-03}}</ref>

==Musical concept and songs==
The duo created a [[Spotify]] playlist consisting of some songs that influenced the creation of the album. They cite [[Massive Attack]], [[M. J. Cole|MJ Cole]], [[Ben Westbeech|Breach]], [[Soul II Soul]], [[Snap!]] and [[Nas]] among others as key influences for the album.<ref name="spotify">{{cite web|url=https://play.spotify.com/user/chaseandstatusofficial/playlist/6Xd0YeIXhLzjPqlG8Wu8ct|title='Brand New Machine' Influences by ChaseAndStatusOfficial|publisher=[[Spotify]]|accessdate=2013-10-24}}</ref> You can hear the MJ Cole influence in "[[Blk & Blu]]", as well as the Nas influence in "Gangsta Boogie". Other tracks, such as "Breathing" and "[[Alive (Chase & Status song)|Alive]]", are drum and bass songs, adopting their original style that helped the duo rise to fame. The duo were also influenced by [[Pusha T]], who they managed to get to vocal their trap song "[[Machine Gun (Chase & Status song)|Machine Gun]]". The [[Major Lazer]] collaboration "Pressure" is a [[moombahton]] track, a genre that [[Diplo]] has brought to fame. The style is a new venture for Chase & Status.

==Singles==
"[[Lost & Not Found]]", featuring vocals from [[Brighton]]-based [[Louis M^ttrs]], was released as the album's lead single on 24 June 2013. The track was initially released on ''Clubland 23'' before its official single release, meaning the release date was brought forward by a week.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/chaseandstatus/posts/10151442349515974</ref> A music video to accompany the release of "Lost & Not Found" was first released onto YouTube on 4 July 2013 at a total length of five minutes and eight seconds.

A two-and-a-half minute version of the song originally premiered back in July, before the full mix was premiered on 29 August 2013. The music video was released via the band's official website on 20 September 2013, originally through a [[JavaScript]] modification of [[Twitter]].<ref>http://www.chaseandstatus.co.uk/news.php?id=373</ref> The track entered at number 5 on the [[UK Singles Chart]] on 6 October 2013. "Machine Gun", featuring vocals from [[Pusha T]], premiered on 21 August 2013 as a promotional single.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://chaseandstatus.co.uk/machine-gun-feat-pusha-t/|title=Machine Gun Feat.

==History==
{{Unreferenced section|date=November 2008}}

===1980s===
In 1986, computer programmer Matt Black and ex-[[art teacher]] Jonathan More were part-time [[DJ]]s on the [[rare groove]] scene. More also DJed on [[pirate radio]], hosting the ''Meltdown Show'' on [[Kiss 100 London|Kiss FM]] and worked at the Reckless Records store on [[Berwick Street]], [[London]] where Black visited as a customer. The first collaboration between the two artists was [[Say Kids What Time Is It?|'Say Kids What Time Is It?']] on a [[white label]] in January 1987, which mixed [[Jungle Book]]'s "King of the Swingers" with the break from [[James Brown]]'s "Funky Drummer." The innovation of “Say Kids...” caused More and Black to be heralded by SPIN as “the first Brit artists to really get hip-hop’s class-cutup aesthetic”.<ref>{{cite book|title=SPIN|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=X1aghtVf0GEC&pg=PA48&dq=coldcut+%22Say+Kids+What+Time+Is+It%3F%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=4PUaUtqcL4i22gWDzoDQCw&q=coldcut+%22Say+Kids+What+Time+Is+It%3F%22&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22Say%20Kids%20What%20Time%20Is%20It%3F%22&f=false|accessdate=December 1996}}</ref> It’s regarded as the UK’s first breaks record,<ref name="books.google.co.uk">{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GJNXLSBlL7IC&pg=PT50&dq=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22+kiss&hl=en&sa=X&ei=jQkbUuPdBurC2wWtn4DoBw&q=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22+kiss&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22solid%20steel%22%20kiss&f=false|accessdate=2001}}</ref> the first UK record to be built entirely of samples<ref>{{cite book|title=Brit Cult: An A-z of British Pop Culture|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=9FwsAAAAYAAJ&q=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&dq=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=hfosUt-nHKr02gW1moGwDA&redir_esc=y|accessdate=2001}}</ref> and “the final link in the chain connecting European collage-experiment with the dance-remix-scratch edit”.<ref>{{cite book|title=Invisible jukebox|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=7xPmAAAAMAAJ&q=coldcut+%22queen+latifah%22&dq=coldcut+%22queen+latifah%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=rZwpUt7nEeeY2wW6soGYDw&redir_esc=y|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> This was later sampled in [[Pump Up the Volume (song)|"Pump Up the Volume"]] by [[MARRS]], a single that reached #1 in the UK in October 1987.

Though Black had joined Kiss FM with his own mix-based show, the pair eventually joined forces on its own show later in 1987 called [[Solid Steel]]. The eclectic show became a unifying force in underground experimental electronic music <ref name="books.google.co.uk"/> and is still running to date, celebrating 25 years in 2013.

The duo adopted the name Coldcut and set up a record label called Ahead Of Our Time to release the single [[Beats + Pieces]] (one of the formats also included "That Greedy Beat") in 1987. All of these tracks were assembled using cassette pause button edits and later spliced tape edits that would sometimes run "all over the room". The duo used sampling from [[Led Zeppelin]] to [[James Brown]]. Electronic act [[The Chemical Brothers]] have described ‘Beats + Pieces’ as the ‘first [[bigbeat]] record’, a style which appeared in the mid 90s.

Coldcut's first mainstream success came when Julian Palmer from [[Island Records]] asked them to remix [[Eric B. & Rakim]]'s "[[Paid in Full (Eric B. & Rakim song)|Paid in Full]]". Released in October 1987, the landmark remix <ref>{{cite web|title=After 200bpm, your heart blows up|url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2006/jan/18/popandrock|work=The Guardian|accessdate=18 January 2006}}</ref> is said to have “laid the groundwork for hip hop’s entry into the UK mainstream”,<ref>{{cite book|title=Invisible jukebox|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=7xPmAAAAMAAJ&q=coldcut+%22queen+latifah%22&dq=coldcut+%22queen+latifah%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=rZwpUt7nEeeY2wW6soGYDw&redir_esc=y|accessdate=1998}}</ref> becoming a breakthrough hit for Eric B & Rakim outside the U.S., reaching #15 in the UK <ref>{{cite web|title=Eric B. & Rakim discography|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_B._%26_Rakim_discography|work=Wikipedia|accessdate=26 October 2013}}</ref> and the top 20 in a number of European countries. It featured a prominent [[Ofra Haza]] sample and many other vocal cut ups as well as a looped rhythm which later, when speeded up, proved popular in the [[breakbeat|Breakbeat genre]]. Off the back of its success in clubs, the Coldcut "Seven Minutes of Madness" remix ended up being promoted as the single in the UK.

In 1988, More and Black formed [[Hex (VJ group)|Hex]], a self-titled “multimedia pop group,” with Mile Visman and Rob Pepperell. While working on videos for artists such as [[Kevin Saunderson]], Queen Latifah and [[Spiritualized]], Hex’s collaborative work went on to incorporate 3D modelling, punk video art, and algorithmic visuals on desktop machines. The video for Coldcut’s ‘Christmas Break’ in 1989 is arguably one of the first pop promos produced entirely on microcomputers.

In 1988, Coldcut released ‘Out To Lunch With Ahead Of Our Time,’ a double LP of Coldcut productions and re-cuts, and the various aliases under which the duo had recorded. This continued the duo’s tradition of releasing limited available vinyl.<ref>{{cite book|title=Blues & Soul|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ui9LAAAAYAAJ&q=%22Out+To+Lunch+With+Ahead+Of+Our+Time%22&dq=%22Out+To+Lunch+With+Ahead+Of+Our+Time%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=pngtUsPsEYfI2gWN74DoCQ&redir_esc=y|accessdate=1988}}</ref>

The next Coldcut single, released in February 1988, moved towards a more house-influenced style.<ref>{{cite book|title=Last Night a Dj Saved My Life: The History of the Disc Jockey|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Np3dpRhTsxQC&pg=PA350&dq=coldcut+yazz&hl=en&sa=X&ei=3-MrUvfqHMG42AX6mICQAg&q=coldcut+yazz&redir_esc=y|accessdate=1999}}</ref> "[[Doctorin' the House]]", which debuted singer [[Yazz]],<ref name="http">{{cite book|title=The Guinness who's who of rap, dance & techno|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=kmgZAQAAIAAJ&q=coldcut+yazz&dq=coldcut+yazz&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6-srUvHsGeqp2QXnpoDQDA&redir_esc=y|accessdate=1994}}</ref> became a top ten hit, and peaked at #6.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Ultimate 80's Music Book|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=pjLy95O2ILYC&pg=PA62&dq=coldcut+yazz&hl=en&sa=X&ei=3-MrUvfqHMG42AX6mICQAg&q=coldcut+yazz&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20yazz&f=false|accessdate=2008}}</ref> In the same year, under the guise Yazz and the Plastic Population, they produced "[[The Only Way Is Up]]", a cover of a [[Northern Soul]] song.

The duo had another top hit in September with "[[Stop This Crazy Thing]]", which featured reggae vocalist [[Junior Reid]] and reached number 21 in the UK.<ref>{{cite book|title=KISS FM: From Radical Radio To Big Business: The Inside Story Of A London|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=LZ-RpGjFavoC&pg=PT89&dq=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=M9ErUqLaJ8ji2gWt74H4Bg&q=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22Doctorin'%20the%20House%22&f=false|accessdate=June 1, 2011}}</ref>

What’s That Noise? reached the Top 20 in the UK and was certified Silver.

===1990s===

Coldcut's second album, Some Like It Cold released in 1990 on Ahead Of Our Time, featured a collaboration with [[Queen Latifah]] on the single "Find a Way". Though "Find a Way" was a minor hit in the UK, no more singles were released from the album. The duo was given the [[British Phonographic Industry|BPI]] "Producer of the Year Award" in 1990. Hex - alongside some other London visual experimenters such as iE - produced a series of videos for a longform [[VHS]] version of the album. This continued Coldcut and Hex’s pioneering of the use of [[microcomputers]] to synthesize electronic music visuals.

After their success with Lisa Stansfield, Coldcut signed with her label, [[Arista Records|Arista]] Conflicts arose with the major label, as Coldcut’s “vision extended beyond the formulae of house and techno” and mainstream pop culture (CITATION: The Virgin Encyclopedia Of Nineties Music, 2000). Eventually, the duo’s album [[Philosophy]] emerged in 1993. Singles "Dreamer" and "Autumn Leaves" (1994) were both minor hits but the album did not chart.

“Autumn Leaves” had strings recorded at [[Abbey Road]], with a 30 piece string section and an arrangement by film composer [[Ed Shearmur]]. The leader of the string section was [[Simon Jeffes]] of [[Penguin Cafe Orchestra]]. Coldcut’s insistence on their friend [[Mixmaster Morris]] to remix “Autumn Leaves”<ref>{{cite web|last=Larkin|first=Colin|title=The Virgin encyclopedia of nineties music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=crs7AQAAIAAJ&q=coldcut+%22Some+Like+It+Cold%22&dq=coldcut+%22Some+Like+It+Cold%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=cJwpUtelEOO52QXMkoGQDw&redir_esc=y|work=Virgin|accessdate=2000}}</ref> led to one of Morris’ most celebrated remixes,<ref>{{cite book|title=Crossfade: a big chill anthology|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=pBcJAQAAMAAJ&q=mixmaster+morris+%22autumn+leaves%22&dq=mixmaster+morris+%22autumn+leaves%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=R789UuaADqfR2wW7-YDgDQ&redir_esc=y|accessdate=15 November 2004}}</ref> which became a minor legend <ref>{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GJNXLSBlL7IC&pg=PT50&dq=mixmaster+morris+%22autumn+leaves%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=R789UuaADqfR2wW7-YDgDQ&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=mixmaster%20morris%20%22autumn%20leaves%22&f=false|accessdate=2001}}</ref> in ambient music. It has appeared on numerous compilations.

In 1990, whilst on their first tour in Japan (which also featured Norman Cook, who later became [[Fatboy Slim]]), Matt and Jon formed their second [[record label]], [[Ninja Tune]], as a self-titled ’technocoloured escape pod,’ and a way to escape the creative control of major labels.<ref>{{cite web|title=Billboard|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=vgcEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA28&dq=Arista+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vbMwUvOtLs6CrQHQYQ&q=Arista+coldcut&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=Arista%20coldcut&f=false|work=Billboard|accessdate=7 September 1996}}</ref> The label enabled them to release music under different aliases (e.g.. Bogus Order, DJ Food), which also helped them to avoid pigeonholing as producers. Ninja Tune’s first release was Bogus Order’s ‘Zen Brakes.’ The name Coldcut stayed with Arista so there were no official Coldcut releases for the next three years.

During this time, Coldcut still produced for artists on their new label, releasing a flood of material under different names and continuing to work with young groups.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> They additionally kept on with [[Solid Steel]] on Kiss FM and running the night club Stealth (Club of the Year in the [[NME]], [[The Face magazine|The Face]], and [[Mixmag]] in 1996).

In 1991, Hex released their first video game, ‘[[Top Banana (video game)|Top Banana]]’, which was included on a Hex release for the [[Commodore CDTV]] machine in 1992, arguably the first complete purpose-designed multimedia system.<ref>{{cite book|last=Cawkell|first=Tony|title=The Multimedia Handbook|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=j4JjoLzoJLQC&pg=PA121&dq=Commodore+CDTV+machine&hl=en&sa=X&ei=7Mg9Us2kG4ep2gWK64DgDw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Commodore%20CDTV%20machine&f=false|accessdate=18 May 2004}}</ref> ‘Top Banana’ was innovative in that it used sampled graphics, contained an ecological theme and a female lead character (dubbed ‘KT’), and its music changed through random processes. Coldcut and Hex presented this multimedia project as an example of the forthcoming convergence of pop music and computer game characters.

In 1992, Hex’s first single - ‘Global Chaos’ / ‘Digital Love Opus 1’ - combined rave visuals with techno and ambient interactive visuals.<ref>{{cite web|title=Billboard|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=IA8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA66&dq=Arista+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vbMwUvOtLs6CrQHQYQ&q=Arista+coldcut&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=Arista%20coldcut&f=false|work=Billboard|accessdate=18 January 1997}}</ref>
In November of that year, Hex released Global Chaos CDTV, which took advantage of the possibilities of the new CD-ROM medium. The Global Chaos CDTV disk (which contained the ‘Top Banana’ game, interactive visuals and audio), was a forerunner of the “CD+” concept, uniting music, graphics, and video games into one.<ref>{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GJNXLSBlL7IC&pg=PT196&dq=Global+Chaos+CDTV&hl=en&sa=X&ei=rMk9Us3XCoL62QWK1ICoBA&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Global%20Chaos%20CDTV&f=false|accessdate=2001}}</ref> This multi dimensional entertainment product received wide coverage in the national media, including features on Dance Energy, Kaleidoscope on [[BBC Radio 4]], What's Up Doc? on [[ITV (TV channel)|ITV]] and Reportage on [[BBC 2]]. [[i-D Magazine]] was quoted as saying, "It's like your TV tripping".

Coldcut videos were made for most songs, often by [[Hexstatic]], and used a lot of stock and sampled footage. Their ‘Timber’ video, which created an AV collage piece using analogous techniques to audio sample collage, was put on heavy rotation on MTV.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=The Independent|date=January 15, 1999}}</ref> Stuart Warren Hill of Hexstatic referred to this technique as: “What you see is what you hear.” ‘Timber’ (which appears on both ‘Let Us Play’, Coldcut’s fourth album, and ‘Let Us Replay,’ their fifth) won awards for its innovative use of repetitive video clips synced to the music,<ref>{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Hip-hop: The Definitive Guide to Rap & Hip-hop|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Wr1lmklsD8QC&pg=PT210&dq=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=Q_gaUrXBH6S52QXykYH4DQ&q=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22solid%20steel%22&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> including being shortlisted at the Edinburgh Television and Film Festival in their top five music videos of the year in 1998.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=The Guardian|date=February 1999}}</ref>

Coldcut began integrating video sampling into their live DJ gigs at the time, and incorporated multimedia content that caused press to credit the act as segueing “into the computer age”.<ref>{{cite web|title=Billboard|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=IA8EAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA66&dq=%22trip-hop%22+coldcut&pg=PA66%23v%3Donepage&q=%22trip-hop%22+coldcut&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=%22trip-hop%22%20coldcut&f=false|work=Billboard|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Throughout the 90s, Hex created visuals for Coldcut’s live performances, and developed the CD-ROM portion of Coldcut’s ‘Let Us Play’ and ‘Let Us Replay,’ in addition to software developed specifically for the album’s world tour. Hex’s inclusion of music videos and ‘playtools’ (playful art/music software programs) on Coldcut’s CD-Roms was completely ahead of the curve at that time, offering viewers/listeners a high level of interactivity.<ref>{{cite book|title=Changing Tunes: The Use of Pre-existing Music in Film|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=tvnw4_zXsl0C&pg=PA175&dq=coldcut+VJamm&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ftAwUrqKAoeh2QXM7oHICg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=coldcut%20VJamm&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Playtools such as My Little Funkit and Playtime were the prototypes for [http://www.ninjajamm.com/ Ninja Jamm], the app Coldcut designed and launched 16 years later. Playtime followed on from Coldcut and Hex’s Synopticon installation, developing the auto-cutup algorhythm, and using other random processes to generate surprising combinations. Coldcut and Hex performed live using Playtime at the 1st [[Sónar|Sonar Festival]] in 1994. Playtime was also used to generate the backing track for Coldcut’s collaboration with [[Jello Biafra]], ‘Every Home a Prison’.

In 1994 Coldcut and Hex contributed an installation to the [[Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art]]. The piece, called 'Generator' was installed in the Fire Gallery. Generator was an interactive installation which allowed users to mix sound, video, text and graphics and make their own audio-visual mix, modelled on the techniques and technology used by Coldcut in clubs and live performance events. It consisted of two consoles: the left controlling how the sounds are played, the right controlling how the images are played.

As part of the JAM exhibition of “Style, Music and Media” at the [[Barbican Art Gallery]] in 1996, Coldcut and Hex were commissioned to produce an interactive audiovisual piece called Synopticon. Conceived and designed by Robert Pepperell and Matt Black, the digital culture synthesiser allows users to “remix” sounds, images, text and music in a partially random, partially controlled way.

The year 1996 also brought the Coldcut name back to More and Black, and the pair celebrated with ‘70 Minutes of Madness,’ a mix CD that became part of the [[Journeys by DJ]] series. The release was credited with “bringing to wider attention the sort of freestyle mixing the pair were always known for through their radio show on KISS FM, Solid Steel, and their steady club dates”.<ref>{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Hip-hop: The Definitive Guide to Rap & Hip-hop|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Wr1lmklsD8QC&pg=PT69&dq=Arista+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vbMwUvOtLs6CrQHQYQ&q=Arista+coldcut&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=Arista%20coldcut&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> It was voted "Best Compilation of All Time" by [[Jockey Slut]] in 1998.

In February 1997, they released a double pack single "Atomic Moog 2000" / "Boot the System", the first Coldcut release on Ninja Tune. This was not eligible for the UK chart because time and format restrictions prevented the inclusion of the ‘Natural Rhythm’ video on the CD. In August 1997, a reworking of the early track "More Beats + Pieces" gave them their first UK Top 40 hit since 1989.

The album [[Let Us Play!]] followed in September and also made the Top 40. The fourth album by Coldcut, Let Us Play! paid homage to the greats that inspired them.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Music Week|date=9 August 1997}}</ref> Their first album to be released on Ninja Tune, it featured guest appearances by [[Grandmaster Flash]], [[Steinski]], [[Jello Biafra]], [[Jimpster]], [[The Herbaliser]], [[Talvin Singh]], [[Daniel Pemberton]] and Selena Saliva. Coldcut’s cut 'n' paste method on the album was compared to that of [[Dadaism]] and [[William Burroughs]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Shapiro|first=Peter|title=Drum 'n' Bass: The Rough Guide|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=IxEpAyPvyXoC&pg=PT223&dq=coldcut+%22let+us+play%22+album&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6XNbUu-DDISSyAGQvYDYAw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=coldcut%20%22let%20us%20play%22%20album&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Hex collaborated with Coldcut to produce the multimedia [[CD-Rom]] for the album.

Their CCTV live show was featured at major festivals including [[Glastonbury]], [[Roskilde]], [[Sónar]], the [[Montreux Jazz Festival]], and [[John Peel]]'s Meltdown. The “beautifully simple and devastatingly effective” <ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=DJ Magazine, Issue 33, Vol 2|date=13–26 February 1999}}</ref> software was deemed revolutionary,<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Muzik|date=March 1999}}</ref> and became recognized as a major factor in the evolution of clubs.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=iDJ|date=September 2001}}</ref> It eventually earned a place in the American Museum of the Moving Image's permanent collection.<ref name="ReferenceC"/> As quoted by The Independent: "Coldcut's motto? 'Don't hate the media, be the media." <ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=The Independent|date=15 January 1999}}</ref> NME was quoted as saying: “Veteran duo Coldcut are so cool they invented the remix - now they are doing the same for television.”

Also working with Camart, Black designed DJamm software in 1998, which Coldcut used on laptops for their live shows, providing the audio bed alongside VJAMM’s audiovisual samples. Matt Black explained they designed DJamm so they “could perform electronic music in a different way – i.e., not just taking a session band out to reproduce what you put together in the studio using samples. It had a relationship to DJing, but was more interactive and more effective.” <ref>{{cite web|title=AudioTechnology Magazine, issue 47|url=http://www.audiotechnology.com.au/PDF/FEATURES/AT47_Cold_Cut.pdf|work=AudioTechnology Magazine, issue 47|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Excitingly at that time, DJamm was pioneering in its ability to shuffle sliced loops into intricate sequences, enabling users to split loops into any number of parts.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Computer Music|date=March 1999}}</ref>

In 1999, Let Us Replay! was released, a double-disc remix album where Coldcut’s classic tunes were remixed by the likes of [[Cornelius (musician)|Cornelius]] (which was heralded as a highlight of the album,<ref name="ReferenceB"/> [[Irresistible Force]], [[Shut Up and Dance (band)|Shut Up And Dance]], [[Carl Craig]] and J Swinscoe.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=Update|date=22–28 February 1999}}</ref> Let Us Replay! pieces together “short sharp shocks that put the mental in ‘experimental’ and still bring the breaks till the breakadawn”.<ref>{{cite web|title=Spin|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=_NXdfW9kpokC&pg=PT21&dq=Let+Us+Replay!+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ltQwUvuXBsry2gXT1oDABg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Let%20Us%20Replay!%20coldcut&f=false|work=Spin|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> It also includes a few live tracks from the duo’s innovative world tour.<ref>{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GJNXLSBlL7IC&pg=PT51&dq=Let+Us+Replay!+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ltQwUvuXBsry2gXT1oDABg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Let%20Us%20Replay!%20coldcut&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> The CD-Rom of the album, which also contained a free demo disc of the VJamm software,<ref>{{cite web|title=Coldcut: Let Us Replay!|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/1535-let-us-replay/|work=Pitchfork|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> was one of the earliest audiovisual CD- ROMs on the market,<ref>{{cite web|title=Volume 3, Issues 5-6|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=SVFLAAAAYAAJ&q=coldcut+VJamm&dq=coldcut+VJamm&hl=en&sa=X&ei=XtQwUsfsFIPP2wWb_YHQAw&redir_esc=y|work=Artbyte|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> and Muzik claimed deserved to “have them canonized...it’s like buying an entire mini studio for under $15.”.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Muzik|date=September 1997}}</ref>

===2000s===

In 2000, the Solid Steel show moved to [[BBC London]].

Coldcut continued to forge interesting collaborations, including 2001's "Revolution," an EP in which Coldcut created their own political party (The Guilty Party). Featuring scratches and samples of [[Tony Blair]] and [[William Hague]] speeches,<ref>{{cite web|title=Watch Coldcut - Re:Volution|url=http://www.roxwel.com/player/coldcutrevolution.html?detect_bitrate=_700|work=Roxwel|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> the 3-track EP included Nautilus' "Space Journey," which won an Intermusic contest in 2000.<ref>{{cite web|title=Coldcut Re:volution EP|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/1533-revolution-ep/|work=Pitchfork|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> The video was widely played on [[MTV]]. With ‘Space Journey,’ Coldcut were arguably the first group to give fans access to the multitrack parts, or “stems,” of their songs, building on the idea of interactivity and sharing from Let Us Play.

In 2001, Coldcut produced tracks for the [[Sega]] music video game [[REZ]]. REZ replaced typical video game sound effect with electronic music; the player created sounds and melodies, intended to simulate a form of synesthesia. The soundtrack also featured [[Adam Freeland]] and [[Oval]].

In 2002, while utilizing VJamm and Detraktor, Coldcut and Juxta remixed [[Herbie Hancock]]’s classic ‘[[Rockit]],’ creating both an audio and video remix.

Working with Marcus Clements in 2002, Coldcut released the sample manipulation algorhythm from their DJamm software as a standalone VST plugin that could be used in other software, naming it the Coldcutter.

Also in 2002, Coldcut with UK VJs Headspace (now mainly performing as the VJamm Allstars developed Gridio, an interactive, immersive audio-visual installation for the [[Pompidou Centre]] as part of the ‘Sonic Process’ exhibition.<ref>{{cite web|title=Volumes 200-202|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=qEA4AQAAIAAJ&q=coldcut+gridio+pompidou&dq=coldcut+gridio+pompidou&hl=en&sa=X&ei=EdM9Upu6G4KXqAGvsoGgBg&redir_esc=y|work=Blueprint|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> The ‘Sonic Process’ exhibition was launched at the [[MACBA]] in Barcelona in conjunction with [[Sónar]], featuring Gridio as its centerpiece. In 2003, a commission for [[Graz]] led to a specially built version of Gridio, in a cave inside the castle mountain in Austria. Gridio was later commissioned by [[O2 (United Kingdom)|O2]] for two simultaneous customised installations at the O2 Wireless Festivals in [[Leeds]] and London in 2007. That same year, Gridio was featured as part of Optronica at the opening week of the new [[BFI Southbank]] development in London.

In 2003, Black worked with [[Penny Rimbaud]] (ex [[Crass]]) on [[Crass Agenda]]'s Savage Utopia project. Black performed the piece with Rimbaud, Eve Libertine and other players at London’s [[Vortex Jazz Club]].

In 2004, Coldcut collaborated with American [[video mashup]] artist TV Sheriff to produce their cut-up entitled ‘Revolution USA.’ The tactical-media project (coordinated with Canadian art duo NomIg) followed on from the UK version and extended the premise “into an open access participatory project”.<ref>{{cite book|title=Digital Media and Democracy: Tactics in Hard Times|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4bv-eeLkG6YC&pg=PA370&dq=%22Revolution+USA%22+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=-IE-Ur-2CKnP2AWrxoDwBA&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22Revolution%20USA%22%20coldcut&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Through the multimedia political art project, over 12 gigabytes of footage from the last 40 years of US politics were made accessible to download, allowing participants to create a cut-up over a Coldcut beat.<ref>{{cite web|title=REVOLUTION:USA - A Coldcut & Nomig Project|url=http://www.portwax.net/blogwax/archives/60|work=Portwax|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Coldcut also collaborated with TV Sheriff and NomIg to produce two audiovisual pieces "World of Evil" (2004) and "Revolution '08" (2008), both composed of footage from the United States presidential elections of respective years. The music used was composed by Coldcut, with "Revolution '08" featuring a remix by the Qemists.

Later that year, a collaboration with the [[British Antarctic Survey|British Antarctic Survey (BAS)]] led to the psychedelic art documentary 'Wavejammer.’ Coldcut was given access to the BAS archive in order to create sounds and visuals for the short film.

2004 also saw Coldcut produce a radio play in conjunction with renowned young author [[Hari Kunzru]] for [[BBC Radio 3]] (incidentally called 'Sound Mirrors').<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=DJ Times|year=2006}}</ref>

Coldcut returned with the single "Everything Is Under Control” at the end of 2005, featuring [[Jon Spencer]] (of [[Jon Spencer Blues Explosion]]) and [[Mike Ladd]]. It was followed in 2006 by their fifth studio album [[Sound Mirrors]], which was quoted as being “one of the most vital and imaginative records Jon Moore and Matt Black have ever made”,<ref name="Issues 146-148">{{cite web|title=Issues 146-148|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=33JLAAAAYAAJ&q=%22Everything+Is+Under+Control%E2%80%9D+coldcut&dq=%22Everything+Is+Under+Control%E2%80%9D+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=K4g-UqSADc3k2wXD6ID4Dw&redir_esc=y|work=Mojo|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> and saw the duo “continue, impressively, to find new ways to present political statements through a gamut of pristine electronics and breakbeats” (CITATION: Future Music, 2007). The fascinating array of guest vocalists <ref name="Issues 146-148"/> included [[Soweto Kinch]], [[Annette Peacock]], Ameri Baraka, and [[Saul Williams]]. The latter followed on from Coldcut’s remix of Williams’ ‘The Pledge’ for a project with [[DJ Spooky]].

A 100-date audiovisual world tour commenced for ‘Sound Mirrors,’ which was considered “no small feat in terms of technology or human effort”.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=DJ Times|year=2006}}</ref> Coldcut was accompanied by scratch DJ Raj and AV artist Juxta, in addition to guest vocalists from the album, including UK rapper [[Juice Aleem]], [[Roots Manuva]], [[MPHO|Mpho Skeef]], Jon Spencer and house legend [[Robert Owens (musician)|Robert Owens]].

Three further singles were released from the album including the Top 75 hit "True Skool" with [[Roots Manuva]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Coldcut|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/_/coldcut/|work=Official charts|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> The same track appeared on the [[soundtrack]] of the [[video game]] [[FIFA Street 2]].

Sponsored by the British Council, in 2005 Coldcut introduced AV mixing to India with the Union project, alongside collaborators [[Howie B]] and [[Aki Nawaz]] of [[Fun-Da-Mental]]. Coldcut created an A/V remix of the Bollywood hit movie ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’.

In 2006, Coldcut performed an A/V set based on “Music for 18 Musicians” as part of [[Steve Reich]]’s 70th birthday gig at the [[Barbican Centre]] in London.

Coldcut remixed another classic song in 2007: [[Nina Simone]]’s ‘Save Me.’ This was part of a remix album called ‘Nina Simone: Remixed & Re-imagined,’ featuring remixes from Tony Humphries, [[Francois K]] and Chris Coco.

In February 2007, Coldcut and Mixmaster Morris created a psychedelic AV obituary/tribute Coldcut, [[Mixmaster Morris]], [[Ken Campbell]], [[Bill Drummond]] and [[Alan Moore]] (March 18, 2007). [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x366w1_robert-anton-wilson-1-ken-campbell_fun Robert Anton Wilson tribute show]. [[Queen Elizabeth Hall]], London: [[Mixmaster Morris]]. (August 28, 2009) to [[Robert Anton Wilson]], the 60s author of [[Illuminatus! Trilogy]]. The tribute featured graphic novel writer [[Alan Moore]] and artist [[Bill Drummond]] and a performance by experimental theatre legend [[Ken Campbell]]. Coldcut and Morris’ hour and a half performance resembled a documentary being remixed on the fly, cutting up nearly 15 hours’ worth of Wilson’s lectures.

In 2008, an international group of party organisers, activists and artists including Coldcut received a grant from the Intelligent Energy Department of the European Union, to create a project that promoted intelligent energy and environmental awareness to the youth of Europe. The result was Energy Union, a piece of VJ cinema, political campaign, music tour, party, art exhibition and social media hub. Energy Union toured 12 EU countries throughout 2009 and 2010, completing 24 events in total. Coldcut created the Energy Union show for the tour, a one hour Audio/Visual montage on the theme of Intelligent Energy. In presenting new ideas for climate, environmental and energy communication strategies, the Energy Union tour was well received, and reached a widespread audience in cities across the UK, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Spain and the Czech Republic.

Also in 2008, Coldcut was asked to remix the theme song for British cult TV show [[Dr Who]] for the program’s 40th anniversary.<ref>{{cite book|title=CMJ New Music Report|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=B3LxC-059_QC&pg=PA29&dq=coldcut+%22dr+who%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=AxdJUtXGAYji2gWAtIDICA&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=coldcut%20%22dr%20who%22&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> In October 2008, Coldcut celebrated the legacy of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (the place where the Doctor Who theme was created) with a live DJ mix at London’s legendary Roundhouse. The live mix incorporated classic Radiophonic Workshop compositions with extended sampling of the original gear.<ref>{{cite web|title=Coldcut via The Radiophonic Workshop|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/electricproms/2008/artists/coldcut/|work=BBC|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref>

Additionally in 2008, Coldcut remixed "Ourselves", a Japanese #1 hit from the single "&" by [[Ayumi Hamasaki]]. This mix was included on the album [[Ayu-mi-x 6: Gold]].

Starting in 2009, Matt Black, with musician/artist/coder Paul Miller (creator of the TX Modular Open Source synth), developed Granul8, a new type of visual fx/source Black termed a ‘granular video synthesiser’. Granul8 allows the use of realtime VJ techniques including video feedback combined with VDMX [[VJing|VJ]] software.

From 2009 onwards, Black has been collaborating with coder and psychedelic mathematician William Rood to create a forthcoming project called Liveloom, a social media AV mixer.

==Recent work==

In 2010, Coldcut celebrated 20 years of releasing music with its label, Ninja Tune. A book entitled Ninja Tune: 20 Years of Beats and Pieces was released on 12 August 2010, and an exhibition was held at [[Black Dog Publishing]]'s Black Dog Space in London, showcasing artwork, design and photography from the label's 20 year history. A compilation album was released on 20 September in two formats: a regular version consisting of two 2-disc volumes, and a limited edition which contained six CDs, six 7" vinyl singles, a hardback copy of the book, a poster and additional items. Ninja Tune also incorporated a series of international parties. This repositioned Ninja as a continually compelling <ref>{{cite web|title=Various Artists: Ninja Tune XX|url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/sep/19/ninja-tune-xx-various-artists-review|work=theguardian|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> and influential <ref>{{cite web|title=Ninja Tune: XX, CD review|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/cdreviews/8009888/Ninja-Tune-XX-CD-review.html|work=Telegraph|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> label, being one of the “longest-running (and successful) UK indie labels to come out of the late-1980s/early-90s explosion in dance music and hip-hop” (Pitchfork, September 28, 2010). Pitchfork claimed it had a “right to show off a little”.<ref>{{cite web|title=Various Artists Ninja Tune XX: 20 Years of Beats and Pieces|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14672-ninja-tune-xx-20-years-of-beats-and-pieces/|work=Pitchfork|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref>

In July 2013, Coldcut produced a piece entitled ‘D’autre’ based on the writings of French poet [[Arthur Rimbaud]], for Forum Des Images in Paris.The following month, in August, Coldcut produced a new soundtrack for a section of André Sauvage’s classic film Études sur Paris, which was shown as part of Noise of Art at the [[British Film Institute|BFI]] in London, which celebrated 100 years of Electronic Music and Silent Cinema. Coldcut put new music to films from the [[Luigi Russolo|Russolo]] era, incorporating original recordings of Russolo's proto-synths.

In April 2013, Coldcut released Ninja Jamm, an iOS music remix [[App (iPhone)|app]], in collaboration with London-based arts and technology firm Seeper. Geared toward both casual listeners and more experienced DJs and music producers, the freemium app allows users to download and remix "Tunepacks" that feature original tracks and mixes by Coldcut, as well as other Ninja artists,<ref>{{cite web|title=Reinventing the remix: British label Ninja Tune releases Jamm app for iPhone, iPad|url=http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/11/4212568/reinventing-the-remix-british-label-ninja-tune-releases-jamm-app-for|work=The Verge|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> creating something new altogether.<ref>{{cite web|title=Review: Ninja Jamm App For iPhone|url=http://www.digitaldjtips.com/2013/04/review-ninja-jamm-app-for-iphone/|work=Digital DJ Tips|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> With the “intuitive yet deep” app,<ref>{{cite web|title=App review|url=http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/1562803/app-review-seepers-remix-app|work=Billboard|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> users can turn instruments on and off, swap between clips, add glitches and effects, trigger and pitch-bend stabs and one-off samples, and change the tempo of the track instantly.

To date over 20 tunepacks have been released, including [[Amon Tobin]], [[Bonobo]], Coldcut, [[DJ Food]], Martyn, [[Emika]], [[Machinedrum]], [[Raffertie]], [[Irresistible Force]], [[FaltyDL]], Shuttle, [[Starkey (artist)|Starkey]]. Ninja Jamm was featured by [[Apple]] in the New and Noteworthy section of the App Store in the week of release and it received over 100,000 downloads in the first week. Coldcut intend to develop Ninja Jamm further.

In 2013, Coldcut are working on a new album, collaborating with producer Dave Taylor (aka Solid Groove aka Switch). This is planned for 2014 release.

==History==
{{Unreferenced section|date=November 2008}}

===1980s===
In 1986, computer programmer Matt Black and ex-[[art teacher]] Jonathan More were part-time [[DJ]]s on the [[rare groove]] scene. More also DJed on [[pirate radio]], hosting the ''Meltdown Show'' on [[Kiss 100 London|Kiss FM]] and worked at the Reckless Records store on [[Berwick Street]], [[London]] where Black visited as a customer. The first collaboration between the two artists was [[Say Kids What Time Is It?|'Say Kids What Time Is It?']] on a [[white label]] in January 1987, which mixed [[Jungle Book]]'s "King of the Swingers" with the break from [[James Brown]]'s "Funky Drummer." The innovation of “Say Kids...” caused More and Black to be heralded by SPIN as “the first Brit artists to really get hip-hop’s class-cutup aesthetic”.<ref>{{cite book|title=SPIN|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=X1aghtVf0GEC&pg=PA48&dq=coldcut+%22Say+Kids+What+Time+Is+It%3F%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=4PUaUtqcL4i22gWDzoDQCw&q=coldcut+%22Say+Kids+What+Time+Is+It%3F%22&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22Say%20Kids%20What%20Time%20Is%20It%3F%22&f=false|accessdate=December 1996}}</ref> It’s regarded as the UK’s first breaks record,<ref name="books.google.co.uk">{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GJNXLSBlL7IC&pg=PT50&dq=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22+kiss&hl=en&sa=X&ei=jQkbUuPdBurC2wWtn4DoBw&q=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22+kiss&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22solid%20steel%22%20kiss&f=false|accessdate=2001}}</ref> the first UK record to be built entirely of samples<ref>{{cite book|title=Brit Cult: An A-z of British Pop Culture|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=9FwsAAAAYAAJ&q=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&dq=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=hfosUt-nHKr02gW1moGwDA&redir_esc=y|accessdate=2001}}</ref> and “the final link in the chain connecting European collage-experiment with the dance-remix-scratch edit”.<ref>{{cite book|title=Invisible jukebox|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=7xPmAAAAMAAJ&q=coldcut+%22queen+latifah%22&dq=coldcut+%22queen+latifah%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=rZwpUt7nEeeY2wW6soGYDw&redir_esc=y|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> This was later sampled in [[Pump Up the Volume (song)|"Pump Up the Volume"]] by [[MARRS]], a single that reached #1 in the UK in October 1987.

Though Black had joined Kiss FM with his own mix-based show, the pair eventually joined forces on its own show later in 1987 called [[Solid Steel]]. The eclectic show became a unifying force in underground experimental electronic music <ref name="books.google.co.uk"/> and is still running to date, celebrating 25 years in 2013.

The duo adopted the name Coldcut and set up a record label called Ahead Of Our Time to release the single [[Beats + Pieces]] (one of the formats also included "That Greedy Beat") in 1987. All of these tracks were assembled using cassette pause button edits and later spliced tape edits that would sometimes run "all over the room". The duo used sampling from [[Led Zeppelin]] to [[James Brown]]. Electronic act [[The Chemical Brothers]] have described ‘Beats + Pieces’ as the ‘first [[bigbeat]] record’, a style which appeared in the mid 90s.

Coldcut's first mainstream success came when Julian Palmer from [[Island Records]] asked them to remix [[Eric B. & Rakim]]'s "[[Paid in Full (Eric B. & Rakim song)|Paid in Full]]". Released in October 1987, the landmark remix <ref>{{cite web|title=After 200bpm, your heart blows up|url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2006/jan/18/popandrock|work=The Guardian|accessdate=18 January 2006}}</ref> is said to have “laid the groundwork for hip hop’s entry into the UK mainstream”,<ref>{{cite book|title=Invisible jukebox|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=7xPmAAAAMAAJ&q=coldcut+%22queen+latifah%22&dq=coldcut+%22queen+latifah%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=rZwpUt7nEeeY2wW6soGYDw&redir_esc=y|accessdate=1998}}</ref> becoming a breakthrough hit for Eric B & Rakim outside the U.S., reaching #15 in the UK <ref>{{cite web|title=Eric B. & Rakim discography|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_B._%26_Rakim_discography|work=Wikipedia|accessdate=26 October 2013}}</ref> and the top 20 in a number of European countries. It featured a prominent [[Ofra Haza]] sample and many other vocal cut ups as well as a looped rhythm which later, when speeded up, proved popular in the [[breakbeat|Breakbeat genre]]. Off the back of its success in clubs, the Coldcut "Seven Minutes of Madness" remix ended up being promoted as the single in the UK.

In 1988, More and Black formed [[Hex (VJ group)|Hex]], a self-titled “multimedia pop group,” with Mile Visman and Rob Pepperell. While working on videos for artists such as [[Kevin Saunderson]], Queen Latifah and [[Spiritualized]], Hex’s collaborative work went on to incorporate 3D modelling, punk video art, and algorithmic visuals on desktop machines. The video for Coldcut’s ‘Christmas Break’ in 1989 is arguably one of the first pop promos produced entirely on microcomputers.

In 1988, Coldcut released ‘Out To Lunch With Ahead Of Our Time,’ a double LP of Coldcut productions and re-cuts, and the various aliases under which the duo had recorded. This continued the duo’s tradition of releasing limited available vinyl.<ref>{{cite book|title=Blues & Soul|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ui9LAAAAYAAJ&q=%22Out+To+Lunch+With+Ahead+Of+Our+Time%22&dq=%22Out+To+Lunch+With+Ahead+Of+Our+Time%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=pngtUsPsEYfI2gWN74DoCQ&redir_esc=y|accessdate=1988}}</ref>

The next Coldcut single, released in February 1988, moved towards a more house-influenced style.<ref>{{cite book|title=Last Night a Dj Saved My Life: The History of the Disc Jockey|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Np3dpRhTsxQC&pg=PA350&dq=coldcut+yazz&hl=en&sa=X&ei=3-MrUvfqHMG42AX6mICQAg&q=coldcut+yazz&redir_esc=y|accessdate=1999}}</ref> "[[Doctorin' the House]]", which debuted singer [[Yazz]],<ref name="http">{{cite book|title=The Guinness who's who of rap, dance & techno|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=kmgZAQAAIAAJ&q=coldcut+yazz&dq=coldcut+yazz&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6-srUvHsGeqp2QXnpoDQDA&redir_esc=y|accessdate=1994}}</ref> became a top ten hit, and peaked at #6.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Ultimate 80's Music Book|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=pjLy95O2ILYC&pg=PA62&dq=coldcut+yazz&hl=en&sa=X&ei=3-MrUvfqHMG42AX6mICQAg&q=coldcut+yazz&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20yazz&f=false|accessdate=2008}}</ref> In the same year, under the guise Yazz and the Plastic Population, they produced "[[The Only Way Is Up]]", a cover of a [[Northern Soul]] song. The record reached #1 in the UK in August, and remained there for five weeks, becoming 1988’s second biggest selling single.<ref name="http"/> Producer Youth of Killing Joke also helped Coldcut with this record. The duo had another top hit in September with "[[Stop This Crazy Thing]]", which featured reggae vocalist [[Junior Reid]] and reached number 21 in the UK.<ref>{{cite book|title=KISS FM: From Radical Radio To Big Business: The Inside Story Of A London|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=LZ-RpGjFavoC&pg=PT89&dq=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=M9ErUqLaJ8ji2gWt74H4Bg&q=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22Doctorin'%20the%20House%22&f=false|accessdate=June 1, 2011}}</ref>

The single "[[People Hold On]]" became another UK Top 20 hit.

As the duo started to enjoy critical and commercial success,<ref>{{cite book|last=Goddard|first=Grant|title=KISS FM: From Radical Radio To Big Business: The Inside Story Of A London|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=LZ-RpGjFavoC&pg=PT89&dq=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=M9ErUqLaJ8ji2gWt74H4Bg&q=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22Doctorin'%20the%20House%22&f=false|accessdate=June 9, 2011}}</ref> their debut album [[What's That Noise?]] was released in April 1989 on Ahead of Our Time and distributed by Big Life Records. The album gave “breaks the full length treatment”,<ref>{{cite book|last=Bogdanov|first=Vladimir|title=All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GJNXLSBlL7IC&pg=PT50&dq=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22+kiss&hl=en&sa=X&ei=jQkbUuPdBurC2wWtn4DoBw&q=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22+kiss&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22solid%20steel%22%20kiss&f=false|accessdate=2001}}</ref> and showcased “their heady blend of hip-hop production aesthetics and proto-acid house grooves”.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Hip-hop: The Definitive Guide to Rap & Hip-hop|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Wr1lmklsD8QC&pg=PT69&dq=Arista+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vbMwUvOtLs6CrQHQYQ&q=Arista+coldcut&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=Arista%20coldcut&f=false|accessdate=2003}}</ref> It also rounded up a heap of unconventional guest features, quoted by SPIN as having “somehow found room at the same table for [[Queen Latifah]] and [[Mark E.

What’s That Noise? reached the Top 20 in the UK and was certified Silver.

===1990s===

Coldcut's second album, Some Like It Cold released in 1990 on Ahead Of Our Time, featured a collaboration with [[Queen Latifah]] on the single "Find a Way". Though "Find a Way" was a minor hit in the UK, no more singles were released from the album. The duo was given the [[British Phonographic Industry|BPI]] "Producer of the Year Award" in 1990. Hex - alongside some other London visual experimenters such as iE - produced a series of videos for a longform [[VHS]] version of the album. This continued Coldcut and Hex’s pioneering of the use of [[microcomputers]] to synthesize electronic music visuals.

After their success with Lisa Stansfield, Coldcut signed with her label, [[Arista Records|Arista]] Conflicts arose with the major label, as Coldcut’s “vision extended beyond the formulae of house and techno” and mainstream pop culture (CITATION: The Virgin Encyclopedia Of Nineties Music, 2000). Eventually, the duo’s album [[Philosophy]] emerged in 1993. Singles "Dreamer" and "Autumn Leaves" (1994) were both minor hits but the album did not chart.

“Autumn Leaves” had strings recorded at [[Abbey Road]], with a 30 piece string section and an arrangement by film composer [[Ed Shearmur]]. The leader of the string section was [[Simon Jeffes]] of [[Penguin Cafe Orchestra]]. Coldcut’s insistence on their friend [[Mixmaster Morris]] to remix “Autumn Leaves”<ref>{{cite web|last=Larkin|first=Colin|title=The Virgin encyclopedia of nineties music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=crs7AQAAIAAJ&q=coldcut+%22Some+Like+It+Cold%22&dq=coldcut+%22Some+Like+It+Cold%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=cJwpUtelEOO52QXMkoGQDw&redir_esc=y|work=Virgin|accessdate=2000}}</ref> led to one of Morris’ most celebrated remixes,<ref>{{cite book|title=Crossfade: a big chill anthology|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=pBcJAQAAMAAJ&q=mixmaster+morris+%22autumn+leaves%22&dq=mixmaster+morris+%22autumn+leaves%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=R789UuaADqfR2wW7-YDgDQ&redir_esc=y|accessdate=15 November 2004}}</ref> which became a minor legend <ref>{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GJNXLSBlL7IC&pg=PT50&dq=mixmaster+morris+%22autumn+leaves%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=R789UuaADqfR2wW7-YDgDQ&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=mixmaster%20morris%20%22autumn%20leaves%22&f=false|accessdate=2001}}</ref> in ambient music. It has appeared on numerous compilations.

In 1990, whilst on their first tour in Japan (which also featured Norman Cook, who later became [[Fatboy Slim]]), Matt and Jon formed their second [[record label]], [[Ninja Tune]], as a self-titled ’technocoloured escape pod,’ and a way to escape the creative control of major labels.<ref>{{cite web|title=Billboard|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=vgcEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA28&dq=Arista+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vbMwUvOtLs6CrQHQYQ&q=Arista+coldcut&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=Arista%20coldcut&f=false|work=Billboard|accessdate=7 September 1996}}</ref> The label enabled them to release music under different aliases (e.g.. Bogus Order, DJ Food), which also helped them to avoid pigeonholing as producers. Ninja Tune’s first release was Bogus Order’s ‘Zen Brakes.’ The name Coldcut stayed with Arista so there were no official Coldcut releases for the next three years.

During this time, Coldcut still produced for artists on their new label, releasing a flood of material under different names and continuing to work with young groups.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> They additionally kept on with [[Solid Steel]] on Kiss FM and running the night club Stealth (Club of the Year in the [[NME]], [[The Face magazine|The Face]], and [[Mixmag]] in 1996).

In 1991, Hex released their first video game, ‘[[Top Banana (video game)|Top Banana]]’, which was included on a Hex release for the [[Commodore CDTV]] machine in 1992, arguably the first complete purpose-designed multimedia system.<ref>{{cite book|last=Cawkell|first=Tony|title=The Multimedia Handbook|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=j4JjoLzoJLQC&pg=PA121&dq=Commodore+CDTV+machine&hl=en&sa=X&ei=7Mg9Us2kG4ep2gWK64DgDw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Commodore%20CDTV%20machine&f=false|accessdate=18 May 2004}}</ref> ‘Top Banana’ was innovative in that it used sampled graphics, contained an ecological theme and a female lead character (dubbed ‘KT’), and its music changed through random processes. Coldcut and Hex presented this multimedia project as an example of the forthcoming convergence of pop music and computer game characters.

In 1992, Hex’s first single - ‘Global Chaos’ / ‘Digital Love Opus 1’ - combined rave visuals with techno and ambient interactive visuals.<ref>{{cite web|title=Billboard|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=IA8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA66&dq=Arista+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vbMwUvOtLs6CrQHQYQ&q=Arista+coldcut&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=Arista%20coldcut&f=false|work=Billboard|accessdate=18 January 1997}}</ref>
In November of that year, Hex released Global Chaos CDTV, which took advantage of the possibilities of the new CD-ROM medium. The Global Chaos CDTV disk (which contained the ‘Top Banana’ game, interactive visuals and audio), was a forerunner of the “CD+” concept, uniting music, graphics, and video games into one.<ref>{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GJNXLSBlL7IC&pg=PT196&dq=Global+Chaos+CDTV&hl=en&sa=X&ei=rMk9Us3XCoL62QWK1ICoBA&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Global%20Chaos%20CDTV&f=false|accessdate=2001}}</ref> This multi dimensional entertainment product received wide coverage in the national media, including features on Dance Energy, Kaleidoscope on [[BBC Radio 4]], What's Up Doc? on [[ITV (TV channel)|ITV]] and Reportage on [[BBC 2]]. [[i-D Magazine]] was quoted as saying, "It's like your TV tripping".

Coldcut videos were made for most songs, often by [[Hexstatic]], and used a lot of stock and sampled footage. Their ‘Timber’ video, which created an AV collage piece using analogous techniques to audio sample collage, was put on heavy rotation on MTV.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=The Independent|date=January 15, 1999}}</ref> Stuart Warren Hill of Hexstatic referred to this technique as: “What you see is what you hear.” ‘Timber’ (which appears on both ‘Let Us Play’, Coldcut’s fourth album, and ‘Let Us Replay,’ their fifth) won awards for its innovative use of repetitive video clips synced to the music,<ref>{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Hip-hop: The Definitive Guide to Rap & Hip-hop|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Wr1lmklsD8QC&pg=PT210&dq=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=Q_gaUrXBH6S52QXykYH4DQ&q=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22solid%20steel%22&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> including being shortlisted at the Edinburgh Television and Film Festival in their top five music videos of the year in 1998.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=The Guardian|date=February 1999}}</ref>

Coldcut began integrating video sampling into their live DJ gigs at the time, and incorporated multimedia content that caused press to credit the act as segueing “into the computer age”.<ref>{{cite web|title=Billboard|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=IA8EAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA66&dq=%22trip-hop%22+coldcut&pg=PA66%23v%3Donepage&q=%22trip-hop%22+coldcut&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=%22trip-hop%22%20coldcut&f=false|work=Billboard|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Throughout the 90s, Hex created visuals for Coldcut’s live performances, and developed the CD-ROM portion of Coldcut’s ‘Let Us Play’ and ‘Let Us Replay,’ in addition to software developed specifically for the album’s world tour. Hex’s inclusion of music videos and ‘playtools’ (playful art/music software programs) on Coldcut’s CD-Roms was completely ahead of the curve at that time, offering viewers/listeners a high level of interactivity.<ref>{{cite book|title=Changing Tunes: The Use of Pre-existing Music in Film|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=tvnw4_zXsl0C&pg=PA175&dq=coldcut+VJamm&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ftAwUrqKAoeh2QXM7oHICg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=coldcut%20VJamm&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Playtools such as My Little Funkit and Playtime were the prototypes for [http://www.ninjajamm.com/ Ninja Jamm], the app Coldcut designed and launched 16 years later. Playtime followed on from Coldcut and Hex’s Synopticon installation, developing the auto-cutup algorhythm, and using other random processes to generate surprising combinations. Coldcut and Hex performed live using Playtime at the 1st [[Sónar|Sonar Festival]] in 1994. Playtime was also used to generate the backing track for Coldcut’s collaboration with [[Jello Biafra]], ‘Every Home a Prison’.

In 1994 Coldcut and Hex contributed an installation to the [[Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art]]. The piece, called 'Generator' was installed in the Fire Gallery. Generator was an interactive installation which allowed users to mix sound, video, text and graphics and make their own audio-visual mix, modelled on the techniques and technology used by Coldcut in clubs and live performance events. It consisted of two consoles: the left controlling how the sounds are played, the right controlling how the images are played.

As part of the JAM exhibition of “Style, Music and Media” at the [[Barbican Art Gallery]] in 1996, Coldcut and Hex were commissioned to produce an interactive audiovisual piece called Synopticon. Conceived and designed by Robert Pepperell and Matt Black, the digital culture synthesiser allows users to “remix” sounds, images, text and music in a partially random, partially controlled way.

The year 1996 also brought the Coldcut name back to More and Black, and the pair celebrated with ‘70 Minutes of Madness,’ a mix CD that became part of the [[Journeys by DJ]] series. The release was credited with “bringing to wider attention the sort of freestyle mixing the pair were always known for through their radio show on KISS FM, Solid Steel, and their steady club dates”.<ref>{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Hip-hop: The Definitive Guide to Rap & Hip-hop|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Wr1lmklsD8QC&pg=PT69&dq=Arista+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vbMwUvOtLs6CrQHQYQ&q=Arista+coldcut&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=Arista%20coldcut&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> It was voted "Best Compilation of All Time" by [[Jockey Slut]] in 1998.

In February 1997, they released a double pack single "Atomic Moog 2000" / "Boot the System", the first Coldcut release on Ninja Tune. This was not eligible for the UK chart because time and format restrictions prevented the inclusion of the ‘Natural Rhythm’ video on the CD. In August 1997, a reworking of the early track "More Beats + Pieces" gave them their first UK Top 40 hit since 1989.

The album [[Let Us Play!]] followed in September and also made the Top 40. The fourth album by Coldcut, Let Us Play! paid homage to the greats that inspired them.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Music Week|date=9 August 1997}}</ref> Their first album to be released on Ninja Tune, it featured guest appearances by [[Grandmaster Flash]], [[Steinski]], [[Jello Biafra]], [[Jimpster]], [[The Herbaliser]], [[Talvin Singh]], [[Daniel Pemberton]] and Selena Saliva. Coldcut’s cut 'n' paste method on the album was compared to that of [[Dadaism]] and [[William Burroughs]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Shapiro|first=Peter|title=Drum 'n' Bass: The Rough Guide|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=IxEpAyPvyXoC&pg=PT223&dq=coldcut+%22let+us+play%22+album&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6XNbUu-DDISSyAGQvYDYAw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=coldcut%20%22let%20us%20play%22%20album&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Hex collaborated with Coldcut to produce the multimedia [[CD-Rom]] for the album. Hex later evolved the software into the engine that was used on the Let Us Play! world tour.

In 1997, Matt Black - alongside Cambridge based developers Camart - created [[Video scratching|real-time video manipulation]] software VJAMM.

The VJAMM technology, praised as being proof of how far computers changed the face of live music,<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Computer Music, Issue 4|date=March 1999}}</ref> became seminal in both Coldcut's live sets (which were called a “revelaton” by Melody Maker <ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Melody Maker|date=16 January 1999}}</ref> and DJ sets. Their CCTV live show was featured at major festivals including [[Glastonbury]], [[Roskilde]], [[Sónar]], the [[Montreux Jazz Festival]], and [[John Peel]]'s Meltdown. The “beautifully simple and devastatingly effective” <ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=DJ Magazine, Issue 33, Vol 2|date=13–26 February 1999}}</ref> software was deemed revolutionary,<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Muzik|date=March 1999}}</ref> and became recognized as a major factor in the evolution of clubs.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=iDJ|date=September 2001}}</ref> It eventually earned a place in the American Museum of the Moving Image's permanent collection.<ref name="ReferenceC"/> As quoted by The Independent: "Coldcut's motto? 'Don't hate the media, be the media." <ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=The Independent|date=15 January 1999}}</ref> NME was quoted as saying: “Veteran duo Coldcut are so cool they invented the remix - now they are doing the same for television.”

Also working with Camart, Black designed DJamm software in 1998, which Coldcut used on laptops for their live shows, providing the audio bed alongside VJAMM’s audiovisual samples. Matt Black explained they designed DJamm so they “could perform electronic music in a different way – i.e., not just taking a session band out to reproduce what you put together in the studio using samples. It had a relationship to DJing, but was more interactive and more effective.” <ref>{{cite web|title=AudioTechnology Magazine, issue 47|url=http://www.audiotechnology.com.au/PDF/FEATURES/AT47_Cold_Cut.pdf|work=AudioTechnology Magazine, issue 47|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Excitingly at that time, DJamm was pioneering in its ability to shuffle sliced loops into intricate sequences, enabling users to split loops into any number of parts.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Computer Music|date=March 1999}}</ref>

In 1999, Let Us Replay! was released, a double-disc remix album where Coldcut’s classic tunes were remixed by the likes of [[Cornelius (musician)|Cornelius]] (which was heralded as a highlight of the album,<ref name="ReferenceB"/> [[Irresistible Force]], [[Shut Up and Dance (band)|Shut Up And Dance]], [[Carl Craig]] and J Swinscoe.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=Update|date=22–28 February 1999}}</ref> Let Us Replay! pieces together “short sharp shocks that put the mental in ‘experimental’ and still bring the breaks till the breakadawn”.<ref>{{cite web|title=Spin|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=_NXdfW9kpokC&pg=PT21&dq=Let+Us+Replay!+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ltQwUvuXBsry2gXT1oDABg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Let%20Us%20Replay!%20coldcut&f=false|work=Spin|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> It also includes a few live tracks from the duo’s innovative world tour.<ref>{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GJNXLSBlL7IC&pg=PT51&dq=Let+Us+Replay!+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ltQwUvuXBsry2gXT1oDABg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Let%20Us%20Replay!%20coldcut&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> The CD-Rom of the album, which also contained a free demo disc of the VJamm software,<ref>{{cite web|title=Coldcut: Let Us Replay!|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/1535-let-us-replay/|work=Pitchfork|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> was one of the earliest audiovisual CD- ROMs on the market,<ref>{{cite web|title=Volume 3, Issues 5-6|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=SVFLAAAAYAAJ&q=coldcut+VJamm&dq=coldcut+VJamm&hl=en&sa=X&ei=XtQwUsfsFIPP2wWb_YHQAw&redir_esc=y|work=Artbyte|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> and Muzik claimed deserved to “have them canonized...it’s like buying an entire mini studio for under $15.”.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Muzik|date=September 1997}}</ref>

===2000s===

In 2000, the Solid Steel show moved to [[BBC London]].

Coldcut continued to forge interesting collaborations, including 2001's "Revolution," an EP in which Coldcut created their own political party (The Guilty Party). Featuring scratches and samples of [[Tony Blair]] and [[William Hague]] speeches,<ref>{{cite web|title=Watch Coldcut - Re:Volution|url=http://www.roxwel.com/player/coldcutrevolution.html?detect_bitrate=_700|work=Roxwel|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> the 3-track EP included Nautilus' "Space Journey," which won an Intermusic contest in 2000.<ref>{{cite web|title=Coldcut Re:volution EP|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/1533-revolution-ep/|work=Pitchfork|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> The video was widely played on [[MTV]]. With ‘Space Journey,’ Coldcut were arguably the first group to give fans access to the multitrack parts, or “stems,” of their songs, building on the idea of interactivity and sharing from Let Us Play.

In 2001, Coldcut produced tracks for the [[Sega]] music video game [[REZ]]. REZ replaced typical video game sound effect with electronic music; the player created sounds and melodies, intended to simulate a form of synesthesia. The soundtrack also featured [[Adam Freeland]] and [[Oval]].

In 2002, while utilizing VJamm and Detraktor, Coldcut and Juxta remixed [[Herbie Hancock]]’s classic ‘[[Rockit]],’ creating both an audio and video remix.

Working with Marcus Clements in 2002, Coldcut released the sample manipulation algorhythm from their DJamm software as a standalone VST plugin that could be used in other software, naming it the Coldcutter.

Also in 2002, Coldcut with UK VJs Headspace (now mainly performing as the VJamm Allstars developed Gridio, an interactive, immersive audio-visual installation for the [[Pompidou Centre]] as part of the ‘Sonic Process’ exhibition.<ref>{{cite web|title=Volumes 200-202|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=qEA4AQAAIAAJ&q=coldcut+gridio+pompidou&dq=coldcut+gridio+pompidou&hl=en&sa=X&ei=EdM9Upu6G4KXqAGvsoGgBg&redir_esc=y|work=Blueprint|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> The ‘Sonic Process’ exhibition was launched at the [[MACBA]] in Barcelona in conjunction with [[Sónar]], featuring Gridio as its centerpiece. In 2003, a commission for [[Graz]] led to a specially built version of Gridio, in a cave inside the castle mountain in Austria. Gridio was later commissioned by [[O2 (United Kingdom)|O2]] for two simultaneous customised installations at the O2 Wireless Festivals in [[Leeds]] and London in 2007. That same year, Gridio was featured as part of Optronica at the opening week of the new [[BFI Southbank]] development in London.

In 2003, Black worked with [[Penny Rimbaud]] (ex [[Crass]]) on [[Crass Agenda]]'s Savage Utopia project. Black performed the piece with Rimbaud, Eve Libertine and other players at London’s [[Vortex Jazz Club]].

In 2004, Coldcut collaborated with American [[video mashup]] artist TV Sheriff to produce their cut-up entitled ‘Revolution USA.’ The tactical-media project (coordinated with Canadian art duo NomIg) followed on from the UK version and extended the premise “into an open access participatory project”.<ref>{{cite book|title=Digital Media and Democracy: Tactics in Hard Times|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4bv-eeLkG6YC&pg=PA370&dq=%22Revolution+USA%22+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=-IE-Ur-2CKnP2AWrxoDwBA&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22Revolution%20USA%22%20coldcut&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Through the multimedia political art project, over 12 gigabytes of footage from the last 40 years of US politics were made accessible to download, allowing participants to create a cut-up over a Coldcut beat.<ref>{{cite web|title=REVOLUTION:USA - A Coldcut & Nomig Project|url=http://www.portwax.net/blogwax/archives/60|work=Portwax|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Coldcut also collaborated with TV Sheriff and NomIg to produce two audiovisual pieces "World of Evil" (2004) and "Revolution '08" (2008), both composed of footage from the United States presidential elections of respective years. The music used was composed by Coldcut, with "Revolution '08" featuring a remix by the Qemists.

Later that year, a collaboration with the [[British Antarctic Survey|British Antarctic Survey (BAS)]] led to the psychedelic art documentary 'Wavejammer.’ Coldcut was given access to the BAS archive in order to create sounds and visuals for the short film.

2004 also saw Coldcut produce a radio play in conjunction with renowned young author [[Hari Kunzru]] for [[BBC Radio 3]] (incidentally called 'Sound Mirrors').<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=DJ Times|year=2006}}</ref>

Coldcut returned with the single "Everything Is Under Control” at the end of 2005, featuring [[Jon Spencer]] (of [[Jon Spencer Blues Explosion]]) and [[Mike Ladd]]. It was followed in 2006 by their fifth studio album [[Sound Mirrors]], which was quoted as being “one of the most vital and imaginative records Jon Moore and Matt Black have ever made”,<ref name="Issues 146-148">{{cite web|title=Issues 146-148|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=33JLAAAAYAAJ&q=%22Everything+Is+Under+Control%E2%80%9D+coldcut&dq=%22Everything+Is+Under+Control%E2%80%9D+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=K4g-UqSADc3k2wXD6ID4Dw&redir_esc=y|work=Mojo|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> and saw the duo “continue, impressively, to find new ways to present political statements through a gamut of pristine electronics and breakbeats” (CITATION: Future Music, 2007). The fascinating array of guest vocalists <ref name="Issues 146-148"/> included [[Soweto Kinch]], [[Annette Peacock]], Ameri Baraka, and [[Saul Williams]]. The latter followed on from Coldcut’s remix of Williams’ ‘The Pledge’ for a project with [[DJ Spooky]].

A 100-date audiovisual world tour commenced for ‘Sound Mirrors,’ which was considered “no small feat in terms of technology or human effort”.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=DJ Times|year=2006}}</ref> Coldcut was accompanied by scratch DJ Raj and AV artist Juxta, in addition to guest vocalists from the album, including UK rapper [[Juice Aleem]], [[Roots Manuva]], [[MPHO|Mpho Skeef]], Jon Spencer and house legend [[Robert Owens (musician)|Robert Owens]].

Three further singles were released from the album including the Top 75 hit "True Skool" with [[Roots Manuva]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Coldcut|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/_/coldcut/|work=Official charts|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> The same track appeared on the [[soundtrack]] of the [[video game]] [[FIFA Street 2]].

Sponsored by the British Council, in 2005 Coldcut introduced AV mixing to India with the Union project, alongside collaborators [[Howie B]] and [[Aki Nawaz]] of [[Fun-Da-Mental]]. Coldcut created an A/V remix of the Bollywood hit movie ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’.

In 2006, Coldcut performed an A/V set based on “Music for 18 Musicians” as part of [[Steve Reich]]’s 70th birthday gig at the [[Barbican Centre]] in London.

Coldcut remixed another classic song in 2007: [[Nina Simone]]’s ‘Save Me.’ This was part of a remix album called ‘Nina Simone: Remixed & Re-imagined,’ featuring remixes from Tony Humphries, [[Francois K]] and Chris Coco.

In February 2007, Coldcut and Mixmaster Morris created a psychedelic AV obituary/tribute Coldcut, [[Mixmaster Morris]], [[Ken Campbell]], [[Bill Drummond]] and [[Alan Moore]] (March 18, 2007). [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x366w1_robert-anton-wilson-1-ken-campbell_fun Robert Anton Wilson tribute show]. [[Queen Elizabeth Hall]], London: [[Mixmaster Morris]]. (August 28, 2009) to [[Robert Anton Wilson]], the 60s author of [[Illuminatus! Trilogy]]. The tribute featured graphic novel writer [[Alan Moore]] and artist [[Bill Drummond]] and a performance by experimental theatre legend [[Ken Campbell]]. Coldcut and Morris’ hour and a half performance resembled a documentary being remixed on the fly, cutting up nearly 15 hours’ worth of Wilson’s lectures.

In 2008, an international group of party organisers, activists and artists including Coldcut received a grant from the Intelligent Energy Department of the European Union, to create a project that promoted intelligent energy and environmental awareness to the youth of Europe. The result was Energy Union, a piece of VJ cinema, political campaign, music tour, party, art exhibition and social media hub. Energy Union toured 12 EU countries throughout 2009 and 2010, completing 24 events in total. Coldcut created the Energy Union show for the tour, a one hour Audio/Visual montage on the theme of Intelligent Energy. In presenting new ideas for climate, environmental and energy communication strategies, the Energy Union tour was well received, and reached a widespread audience in cities across the UK, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Spain and the Czech Republic.

Also in 2008, Coldcut was asked to remix the theme song for British cult TV show [[Dr Who]] for the program’s 40th anniversary.<ref>{{cite book|title=CMJ New Music Report|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=B3LxC-059_QC&pg=PA29&dq=coldcut+%22dr+who%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=AxdJUtXGAYji2gWAtIDICA&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=coldcut%20%22dr%20who%22&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> In October 2008, Coldcut celebrated the legacy of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (the place where the Doctor Who theme was created) with a live DJ mix at London’s legendary Roundhouse. The live mix incorporated classic Radiophonic Workshop compositions with extended sampling of the original gear.<ref>{{cite web|title=Coldcut via The Radiophonic Workshop|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/electricproms/2008/artists/coldcut/|work=BBC|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref>

Additionally in 2008, Coldcut remixed "Ourselves", a Japanese #1 hit from the single "&" by [[Ayumi Hamasaki]]. This mix was included on the album [[Ayu-mi-x 6: Gold]].

Starting in 2009, Matt Black, with musician/artist/coder Paul Miller (creator of the TX Modular Open Source synth), developed Granul8, a new type of visual fx/source Black termed a ‘granular video synthesiser’. Granul8 allows the use of realtime VJ techniques including video feedback combined with VDMX [[VJing|VJ]] software.

From 2009 onwards, Black has been collaborating with coder and psychedelic mathematician William Rood to create a forthcoming project called Liveloom, a social media AV mixer.

==Recent work==

In 2010, Coldcut celebrated 20 years of releasing music with its label, Ninja Tune. A book entitled Ninja Tune: 20 Years of Beats and Pieces was released on 12 August 2010, and an exhibition was held at [[Black Dog Publishing]]'s Black Dog Space in London, showcasing artwork, design and photography from the label's 20 year history. A compilation album was released on 20 September in two formats: a regular version consisting of two 2-disc volumes, and a limited edition which contained six CDs, six 7" vinyl singles, a hardback copy of the book, a poster and additional items. Ninja Tune also incorporated a series of international parties. This repositioned Ninja as a continually compelling <ref>{{cite web|title=Various Artists: Ninja Tune XX|url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/sep/19/ninja-tune-xx-various-artists-review|work=theguardian|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> and influential <ref>{{cite web|title=Ninja Tune: XX, CD review|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/cdreviews/8009888/Ninja-Tune-XX-CD-review.html|work=Telegraph|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> label, being one of the “longest-running (and successful) UK indie labels to come out of the late-1980s/early-90s explosion in dance music and hip-hop” (Pitchfork, September 28, 2010). Pitchfork claimed it had a “right to show off a little”.<ref>{{cite web|title=Various Artists Ninja Tune XX: 20 Years of Beats and Pieces|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14672-ninja-tune-xx-20-years-of-beats-and-pieces/|work=Pitchfork|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref>

In July 2013, Coldcut produced a piece entitled ‘D’autre’ based on the writings of French poet [[Arthur Rimbaud]], for Forum Des Images in Paris.The following month, in August, Coldcut produced a new soundtrack for a section of André Sauvage’s classic film Études sur Paris, which was shown as part of Noise of Art at the [[British Film Institute|BFI]] in London, which celebrated 100 years of Electronic Music and Silent Cinema. Coldcut put new music to films from the [[Luigi Russolo|Russolo]] era, incorporating original recordings of Russolo's proto-synths.

In April 2013, Coldcut released Ninja Jamm, an iOS music remix [[App (iPhone)|app]], in collaboration with London-based arts and technology firm Seeper. Geared toward both casual listeners and more experienced DJs and music producers, the freemium app allows users to download and remix "Tunepacks" that feature original tracks and mixes by Coldcut, as well as other Ninja artists,<ref>{{cite web|title=Reinventing the remix: British label Ninja Tune releases Jamm app for iPhone, iPad|url=http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/11/4212568/reinventing-the-remix-british-label-ninja-tune-releases-jamm-app-for|work=The Verge|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> creating something new altogether.<ref>{{cite web|title=Review: Ninja Jamm App For iPhone|url=http://www.digitaldjtips.com/2013/04/review-ninja-jamm-app-for-iphone/|work=Digital DJ Tips|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> With the “intuitive yet deep” app,<ref>{{cite web|title=App review|url=http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/1562803/app-review-seepers-remix-app|work=Billboard|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> users can turn instruments on and off, swap between clips, add glitches and effects, trigger and pitch-bend stabs and one-off samples, and change the tempo of the track instantly.

To date over 20 tunepacks have been released, including [[Amon Tobin]], [[Bonobo]], Coldcut, [[DJ Food]], Martyn, [[Emika]], [[Machinedrum]], [[Raffertie]], [[Irresistible Force]], [[FaltyDL]], Shuttle, [[Starkey (artist)|Starkey]]. Ninja Jamm was featured by [[Apple]] in the New and Noteworthy section of the App Store in the week of release and it received over 100,000 downloads in the first week. Coldcut intend to develop Ninja Jamm further.

In 2013, Coldcut are working on a new album, collaborating with producer Dave Taylor (aka Solid Groove aka Switch). This is planned for 2014 release.

'''Coldcut''' are an English [[electronic music]] duo composed of [[Matt Black (DJ)|Matt Black]] and Jonathan More.

Beyond their work as a production duo, Coldcut are the founders of [[Ninja Tune]], an independent record label in [[London]], [[England]] (with satellite offices in [[Montreal]] and [[Los Angeles]]) with an overall emphasis on encouraging interactive technology<ref>{{cite book|title=Billboard|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=vgcEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA28&dq=Arista+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vbMwUvOtLs6CrQHQYQ&q=Arista+coldcut&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=Arista%20coldcut&f=false|accessdate=1996}}</ref> and finding innovative uses of [[software]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Music Week|accessdate=August 9, 1997|date=August 9, 1997}}</ref> The label’s first releases (the first four volumes of [[DJ Food]] - 'Jazz Brakes') were produced by Coldcut in the early 90s, and composed of instrumental [[hip-hop]] cuts that led the duo to help pioneer the [[trip-hop]] genre,<ref>{{cite web|title=After 200bpm, your heart blows up|url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2006/jan/18/popandrock|publisher=The Guardian|accessdate=January 18, 2006}}</ref> with artists such as Funky Porcini, The Herbaliser and DJ Vadim.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=August 9, 1997|newspaper=Music Week|date=August 9, 1997}}</ref>

==History==
{{Unreferenced section|date=November 2008}}

===1980s===
In 1986, computer programmer Matt Black and ex-[[art teacher]] Jonathan More were part-time [[DJ]]s on the [[rare groove]] scene. More also DJed on [[pirate radio]], hosting the ''Meltdown Show'' on [[Kiss 100 London|Kiss FM]] and worked at the Reckless Records store on [[Berwick Street]], [[London]] where Black visited as a customer. The first collaboration between the two artists was [[Say Kids What Time Is It?|'Say Kids What Time Is It?']] on a [[white label]] in January 1987, which mixed [[Jungle Book]]'s "King of the Swingers" with the break from [[James Brown]]'s "Funky Drummer." The innovation of “Say Kids...” caused More and Black to be heralded by SPIN as “the first Brit artists to really get hip-hop’s class-cutup aesthetic”.<ref>{{cite book|title=SPIN|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=X1aghtVf0GEC&pg=PA48&dq=coldcut+%22Say+Kids+What+Time+Is+It%3F%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=4PUaUtqcL4i22gWDzoDQCw&q=coldcut+%22Say+Kids+What+Time+Is+It%3F%22&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22Say%20Kids%20What%20Time%20Is%20It%3F%22&f=false|accessdate=December 1996}}</ref> It’s regarded as the UK’s first breaks record,<ref name="books.google.co.uk">{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GJNXLSBlL7IC&pg=PT50&dq=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22+kiss&hl=en&sa=X&ei=jQkbUuPdBurC2wWtn4DoBw&q=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22+kiss&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22solid%20steel%22%20kiss&f=false|accessdate=2001}}</ref> the first UK record to be built entirely of samples<ref>{{cite book|title=Brit Cult: An A-z of British Pop Culture|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=9FwsAAAAYAAJ&q=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&dq=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=hfosUt-nHKr02gW1moGwDA&redir_esc=y|accessdate=2001}}</ref> and “the final link in the chain connecting European collage-experiment with the dance-remix-scratch edit”.<ref>{{cite book|title=Invisible jukebox|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=7xPmAAAAMAAJ&q=coldcut+%22queen+latifah%22&dq=coldcut+%22queen+latifah%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=rZwpUt7nEeeY2wW6soGYDw&redir_esc=y|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> This was later sampled in [[Pump Up the Volume (song)|"Pump Up the Volume"]] by [[MARRS]], a single that reached #1 in the UK in October 1987.

Though Black had joined Kiss FM with his own mix-based show, the pair eventually joined forces on its own show later in 1987 called [[Solid Steel]]. The eclectic show became a unifying force in underground experimental electronic music <ref name="books.google.co.uk"/> and is still running to date, celebrating 25 years in 2013.

The duo adopted the name Coldcut and set up a record label called Ahead Of Our Time to release the single [[Beats + Pieces]] (one of the formats also included "That Greedy Beat") in 1987. All of these tracks were assembled using cassette pause button edits and later spliced tape edits that would sometimes run "all over the room". The duo used sampling from [[Led Zeppelin]] to [[James Brown]]. Electronic act [[The Chemical Brothers]] have described ‘Beats + Pieces’ as the ‘first [[bigbeat]] record’, a style which appeared in the mid 90s.

Coldcut's first mainstream success came when Julian Palmer from [[Island Records]] asked them to remix [[Eric B. & Rakim]]'s "[[Paid in Full (Eric B. & Rakim song)|Paid in Full]]". Released in October 1987, the landmark remix <ref>{{cite web|title=After 200bpm, your heart blows up|url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2006/jan/18/popandrock|work=The Guardian|accessdate=18 January 2006}}</ref> is said to have “laid the groundwork for hip hop’s entry into the UK mainstream”,<ref>{{cite book|title=Invisible jukebox|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=7xPmAAAAMAAJ&q=coldcut+%22queen+latifah%22&dq=coldcut+%22queen+latifah%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=rZwpUt7nEeeY2wW6soGYDw&redir_esc=y|accessdate=1998}}</ref> becoming a breakthrough hit for Eric B & Rakim outside the U.S., reaching #15 in the UK <ref>{{cite web|title=Eric B. & Rakim discography|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_B._%26_Rakim_discography|work=Wikipedia|accessdate=26 October 2013}}</ref> and the top 20 in a number of European countries. It featured a prominent [[Ofra Haza]] sample and many other vocal cut ups as well as a looped rhythm which later, when speeded up, proved popular in the [[breakbeat|Breakbeat genre]]. Off the back of its success in clubs, the Coldcut "Seven Minutes of Madness" remix ended up being promoted as the single in the UK.

In 1988, More and Black formed [[Hex (VJ group)|Hex]], a self-titled “multimedia pop group,” with Mile Visman and Rob Pepperell. While working on videos for artists such as [[Kevin Saunderson]], Queen Latifah and [[Spiritualized]], Hex’s collaborative work went on to incorporate 3D modelling, punk video art, and algorithmic visuals on desktop machines. The video for Coldcut’s ‘Christmas Break’ in 1989 is arguably one of the first pop promos produced entirely on microcomputers.

In 1988, Coldcut released ‘Out To Lunch With Ahead Of Our Time,’ a double LP of Coldcut productions and re-cuts, and the various aliases under which the duo had recorded. This continued the duo’s tradition of releasing limited available vinyl.<ref>{{cite book|title=Blues & Soul|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ui9LAAAAYAAJ&q=%22Out+To+Lunch+With+Ahead+Of+Our+Time%22&dq=%22Out+To+Lunch+With+Ahead+Of+Our+Time%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=pngtUsPsEYfI2gWN74DoCQ&redir_esc=y|accessdate=1988}}</ref>

The next Coldcut single, released in February 1988, moved towards a more house-influenced style.<ref>{{cite book|title=Last Night a Dj Saved My Life: The History of the Disc Jockey|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Np3dpRhTsxQC&pg=PA350&dq=coldcut+yazz&hl=en&sa=X&ei=3-MrUvfqHMG42AX6mICQAg&q=coldcut+yazz&redir_esc=y|accessdate=1999}}</ref> "[[Doctorin' the House]]", which debuted singer [[Yazz]],<ref name="http">{{cite book|title=The Guinness who's who of rap, dance & techno|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=kmgZAQAAIAAJ&q=coldcut+yazz&dq=coldcut+yazz&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6-srUvHsGeqp2QXnpoDQDA&redir_esc=y|accessdate=1994}}</ref> became a top ten hit, and peaked at #6.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Ultimate 80's Music Book|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=pjLy95O2ILYC&pg=PA62&dq=coldcut+yazz&hl=en&sa=X&ei=3-MrUvfqHMG42AX6mICQAg&q=coldcut+yazz&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20yazz&f=false|accessdate=2008}}</ref> In the same year, under the guise Yazz and the Plastic Population, they produced "[[The Only Way Is Up]]", a cover of a [[Northern Soul]] song. The record reached #1 in the UK in August, and remained there for five weeks, becoming 1988’s second biggest selling single.<ref name="http"/> Producer Youth of Killing Joke also helped Coldcut with this record. The duo had another top hit in September with "[[Stop This Crazy Thing]]", which featured reggae vocalist [[Junior Reid]] and reached number 21 in the UK.<ref>{{cite book|title=KISS FM: From Radical Radio To Big Business: The Inside Story Of A London|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=LZ-RpGjFavoC&pg=PT89&dq=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=M9ErUqLaJ8ji2gWt74H4Bg&q=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22Doctorin'%20the%20House%22&f=false|accessdate=June 1, 2011}}</ref>

The single "[[People Hold On]]" became another UK Top 20 hit. Released in March 1989, it helped launch the career<ref>{{cite book|title=The encyclopedia of popular music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=8gkKAQAAMAAJ&q=%22People+Hold+On%22+lisa+stansfield&dq=%22People+Hold+On%22+lisa+stansfield&hl=en&sa=X&ei=fHItUuz6N8m62AWp8ICQAg&redir_esc=y|accessdate=2001}}</ref> of the then relatively unknown singer [[Lisa Stansfield]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Atwood|first=Brett|title=Coldcut dishes out more multimedia|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=IA8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA66&dq=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=M9ErUqLaJ8ji2gWt74H4Bg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=coldcut%20%22Doctorin'%20the%20House%22&f=false|work=Billboard|accessdate=18 January 1997}}</ref> Coldcut and [[Mark Saunders]] produced her debut solo single "[[This Is the Right Time]]", which became another UK Top 20 hit in August as well as reaching #21 on the U.S. [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] the following year.

As the duo started to enjoy critical and commercial success,<ref>{{cite book|last=Goddard|first=Grant|title=KISS FM: From Radical Radio To Big Business: The Inside Story Of A London|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=LZ-RpGjFavoC&pg=PT89&dq=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=M9ErUqLaJ8ji2gWt74H4Bg&q=coldcut+%22Doctorin%27+the+House%22&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22Doctorin'%20the%20House%22&f=false|accessdate=June 9, 2011}}</ref> their debut album [[What's That Noise?]] was released in April 1989 on Ahead of Our Time and distributed by Big Life Records. The album gave “breaks the full length treatment”,<ref>{{cite book|last=Bogdanov|first=Vladimir|title=All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GJNXLSBlL7IC&pg=PT50&dq=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22+kiss&hl=en&sa=X&ei=jQkbUuPdBurC2wWtn4DoBw&q=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22+kiss&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22solid%20steel%22%20kiss&f=false|accessdate=2001}}</ref> and showcased “their heady blend of hip-hop production aesthetics and proto-acid house grooves”.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Hip-hop: The Definitive Guide to Rap & Hip-hop|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Wr1lmklsD8QC&pg=PT69&dq=Arista+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vbMwUvOtLs6CrQHQYQ&q=Arista+coldcut&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=Arista%20coldcut&f=false|accessdate=2003}}</ref> It also rounded up a heap of unconventional guest features, quoted by SPIN as having “somehow found room at the same table for [[Queen Latifah]] and [[Mark E. Smith]]”.<ref>{{cite web|title=Spin:Dig Your Own Hole|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=I4irI6O3Ko8C&pg=RA1-PA109&dq=coldcut+%22queen+latifah%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=0HMtUo6_FMKi2wWxzIAg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=coldcut%20%22queen%20latifah%22&f=false|work=SPIN|accessdate=May 1997}}</ref> The album’s track ‘I’m in Deep’ (featuring Smith) prefigured the Indie-dance guitar-breaks crossover of such bands as the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, utilizing Smith’s freestyle raucous vocals over an acid house backing, and also including psych guitar samples from British rock band [[Deep Purple]]. What’s That Noise? reached the Top 20 in the UK and was certified Silver.

===1990s===

Coldcut's second album, Some Like It Cold released in 1990 on Ahead Of Our Time, featured a collaboration with [[Queen Latifah]] on the single "Find a Way". Though "Find a Way" was a minor hit in the UK, no more singles were released from the album. The duo was given the [[British Phonographic Industry|BPI]] "Producer of the Year Award" in 1990. Hex - alongside some other London visual experimenters such as iE - produced a series of videos for a longform [[VHS]] version of the album. This continued Coldcut and Hex’s pioneering of the use of [[microcomputers]] to synthesize electronic music visuals.

After their success with Lisa Stansfield, Coldcut signed with her label, [[Arista Records|Arista]] Conflicts arose with the major label, as Coldcut’s “vision extended beyond the formulae of house and techno” and mainstream pop culture (CITATION: The Virgin Encyclopedia Of Nineties Music, 2000). Eventually, the duo’s album [[Philosophy]] emerged in 1993. Singles "Dreamer" and "Autumn Leaves" (1994) were both minor hits but the album did not chart.

“Autumn Leaves” had strings recorded at [[Abbey Road]], with a 30 piece string section and an arrangement by film composer [[Ed Shearmur]]. The leader of the string section was [[Simon Jeffes]] of [[Penguin Cafe Orchestra]]. Coldcut’s insistence on their friend [[Mixmaster Morris]] to remix “Autumn Leaves”<ref>{{cite web|last=Larkin|first=Colin|title=The Virgin encyclopedia of nineties music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=crs7AQAAIAAJ&q=coldcut+%22Some+Like+It+Cold%22&dq=coldcut+%22Some+Like+It+Cold%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=cJwpUtelEOO52QXMkoGQDw&redir_esc=y|work=Virgin|accessdate=2000}}</ref> led to one of Morris’ most celebrated remixes,<ref>{{cite book|title=Crossfade: a big chill anthology|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=pBcJAQAAMAAJ&q=mixmaster+morris+%22autumn+leaves%22&dq=mixmaster+morris+%22autumn+leaves%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=R789UuaADqfR2wW7-YDgDQ&redir_esc=y|accessdate=15 November 2004}}</ref> which became a minor legend <ref>{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GJNXLSBlL7IC&pg=PT50&dq=mixmaster+morris+%22autumn+leaves%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=R789UuaADqfR2wW7-YDgDQ&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=mixmaster%20morris%20%22autumn%20leaves%22&f=false|accessdate=2001}}</ref> in ambient music. It has appeared on numerous compilations.

In 1990, whilst on their first tour in Japan (which also featured Norman Cook, who later became [[Fatboy Slim]]), Matt and Jon formed their second [[record label]], [[Ninja Tune]], as a self-titled ’technocoloured escape pod,’ and a way to escape the creative control of major labels.<ref>{{cite web|title=Billboard|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=vgcEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA28&dq=Arista+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vbMwUvOtLs6CrQHQYQ&q=Arista+coldcut&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=Arista%20coldcut&f=false|work=Billboard|accessdate=7 September 1996}}</ref> The label enabled them to release music under different aliases (e.g.. Bogus Order, DJ Food), which also helped them to avoid pigeonholing as producers. Ninja Tune’s first release was Bogus Order’s ‘Zen Brakes.’ The name Coldcut stayed with Arista so there were no official Coldcut releases for the next three years.

During this time, Coldcut still produced for artists on their new label, releasing a flood of material under different names and continuing to work with young groups.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> They additionally kept on with [[Solid Steel]] on Kiss FM and running the night club Stealth (Club of the Year in the [[NME]], [[The Face magazine|The Face]], and [[Mixmag]] in 1996).

In 1991, Hex released their first video game, ‘[[Top Banana (video game)|Top Banana]]’, which was included on a Hex release for the [[Commodore CDTV]] machine in 1992, arguably the first complete purpose-designed multimedia system.<ref>{{cite book|last=Cawkell|first=Tony|title=The Multimedia Handbook|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=j4JjoLzoJLQC&pg=PA121&dq=Commodore+CDTV+machine&hl=en&sa=X&ei=7Mg9Us2kG4ep2gWK64DgDw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Commodore%20CDTV%20machine&f=false|accessdate=18 May 2004}}</ref> ‘Top Banana’ was innovative in that it used sampled graphics, contained an ecological theme and a female lead character (dubbed ‘KT’), and its music changed through random processes. Coldcut and Hex presented this multimedia project as an example of the forthcoming convergence of pop music and computer game characters.

In 1992, Hex’s first single - ‘Global Chaos’ / ‘Digital Love Opus 1’ - combined rave visuals with techno and ambient interactive visuals.<ref>{{cite web|title=Billboard|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=IA8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA66&dq=Arista+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vbMwUvOtLs6CrQHQYQ&q=Arista+coldcut&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=Arista%20coldcut&f=false|work=Billboard|accessdate=18 January 1997}}</ref>
In November of that year, Hex released Global Chaos CDTV, which took advantage of the possibilities of the new CD-ROM medium. The Global Chaos CDTV disk (which contained the ‘Top Banana’ game, interactive visuals and audio), was a forerunner of the “CD+” concept, uniting music, graphics, and video games into one.<ref>{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GJNXLSBlL7IC&pg=PT196&dq=Global+Chaos+CDTV&hl=en&sa=X&ei=rMk9Us3XCoL62QWK1ICoBA&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Global%20Chaos%20CDTV&f=false|accessdate=2001}}</ref> This multi dimensional entertainment product received wide coverage in the national media, including features on Dance Energy, Kaleidoscope on [[BBC Radio 4]], What's Up Doc? on [[ITV (TV channel)|ITV]] and Reportage on [[BBC 2]]. [[i-D Magazine]] was quoted as saying, "It's like your TV tripping".

Coldcut videos were made for most songs, often by [[Hexstatic]], and used a lot of stock and sampled footage. Their ‘Timber’ video, which created an AV collage piece using analogous techniques to audio sample collage, was put on heavy rotation on MTV.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=The Independent|date=January 15, 1999}}</ref> Stuart Warren Hill of Hexstatic referred to this technique as: “What you see is what you hear.” ‘Timber’ (which appears on both ‘Let Us Play’, Coldcut’s fourth album, and ‘Let Us Replay,’ their fifth) won awards for its innovative use of repetitive video clips synced to the music,<ref>{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Hip-hop: The Definitive Guide to Rap & Hip-hop|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Wr1lmklsD8QC&pg=PT210&dq=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=Q_gaUrXBH6S52QXykYH4DQ&q=coldcut+%22solid+steel%22&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=coldcut%20%22solid%20steel%22&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> including being shortlisted at the Edinburgh Television and Film Festival in their top five music videos of the year in 1998.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=The Guardian|date=February 1999}}</ref>

Coldcut began integrating video sampling into their live DJ gigs at the time, and incorporated multimedia content that caused press to credit the act as segueing “into the computer age”.<ref>{{cite web|title=Billboard|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=IA8EAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA66&dq=%22trip-hop%22+coldcut&pg=PA66%23v%3Donepage&q=%22trip-hop%22+coldcut&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=%22trip-hop%22%20coldcut&f=false|work=Billboard|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Throughout the 90s, Hex created visuals for Coldcut’s live performances, and developed the CD-ROM portion of Coldcut’s ‘Let Us Play’ and ‘Let Us Replay,’ in addition to software developed specifically for the album’s world tour. Hex’s inclusion of music videos and ‘playtools’ (playful art/music software programs) on Coldcut’s CD-Roms was completely ahead of the curve at that time, offering viewers/listeners a high level of interactivity.<ref>{{cite book|title=Changing Tunes: The Use of Pre-existing Music in Film|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=tvnw4_zXsl0C&pg=PA175&dq=coldcut+VJamm&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ftAwUrqKAoeh2QXM7oHICg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=coldcut%20VJamm&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Playtools such as My Little Funkit and Playtime were the prototypes for [http://www.ninjajamm.com/ Ninja Jamm], the app Coldcut designed and launched 16 years later. Playtime followed on from Coldcut and Hex’s Synopticon installation, developing the auto-cutup algorhythm, and using other random processes to generate surprising combinations. Coldcut and Hex performed live using Playtime at the 1st [[Sónar|Sonar Festival]] in 1994. Playtime was also used to generate the backing track for Coldcut’s collaboration with [[Jello Biafra]], ‘Every Home a Prison’.

In 1994 Coldcut and Hex contributed an installation to the [[Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art]]. The piece, called 'Generator' was installed in the Fire Gallery. Generator was an interactive installation which allowed users to mix sound, video, text and graphics and make their own audio-visual mix, modelled on the techniques and technology used by Coldcut in clubs and live performance events. It consisted of two consoles: the left controlling how the sounds are played, the right controlling how the images are played.

As part of the JAM exhibition of “Style, Music and Media” at the [[Barbican Art Gallery]] in 1996, Coldcut and Hex were commissioned to produce an interactive audiovisual piece called Synopticon. Conceived and designed by Robert Pepperell and Matt Black, the digital culture synthesiser allows users to “remix” sounds, images, text and music in a partially random, partially controlled way.

The year 1996 also brought the Coldcut name back to More and Black, and the pair celebrated with ‘70 Minutes of Madness,’ a mix CD that became part of the [[Journeys by DJ]] series. The release was credited with “bringing to wider attention the sort of freestyle mixing the pair were always known for through their radio show on KISS FM, Solid Steel, and their steady club dates”.<ref>{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Hip-hop: The Definitive Guide to Rap & Hip-hop|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Wr1lmklsD8QC&pg=PT69&dq=Arista+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vbMwUvOtLs6CrQHQYQ&q=Arista+coldcut&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=Arista%20coldcut&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> It was voted "Best Compilation of All Time" by [[Jockey Slut]] in 1998.

In February 1997, they released a double pack single "Atomic Moog 2000" / "Boot the System", the first Coldcut release on Ninja Tune. This was not eligible for the UK chart because time and format restrictions prevented the inclusion of the ‘Natural Rhythm’ video on the CD. In August 1997, a reworking of the early track "More Beats + Pieces" gave them their first UK Top 40 hit since 1989.

The album [[Let Us Play!]] followed in September and also made the Top 40. The fourth album by Coldcut, Let Us Play! paid homage to the greats that inspired them.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Music Week|date=9 August 1997}}</ref> Their first album to be released on Ninja Tune, it featured guest appearances by [[Grandmaster Flash]], [[Steinski]], [[Jello Biafra]], [[Jimpster]], [[The Herbaliser]], [[Talvin Singh]], [[Daniel Pemberton]] and Selena Saliva. Coldcut’s cut 'n' paste method on the album was compared to that of [[Dadaism]] and [[William Burroughs]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Shapiro|first=Peter|title=Drum 'n' Bass: The Rough Guide|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=IxEpAyPvyXoC&pg=PT223&dq=coldcut+%22let+us+play%22+album&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6XNbUu-DDISSyAGQvYDYAw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=coldcut%20%22let%20us%20play%22%20album&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Hex collaborated with Coldcut to produce the multimedia [[CD-Rom]] for the album. Hex later evolved the software into the engine that was used on the Let Us Play! world tour.

In 1997, Matt Black - alongside Cambridge based developers Camart - created [[Video scratching|real-time video manipulation]] software VJAMM. It allowed users to be a “digital video jockey,”,<ref name="ReferenceB">{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=NME|date=January 1999}}</ref> remixing and collaging <ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Sound on Sound|date=January 1999}}</ref> sound and images <ref name="ReferenceC">{{cite book|title=New Digital Cinema: Reinventing the Moving Image|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=f21G0d3wX7wC&pg=PA72&dq=coldcut+VJamm&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ftAwUrqKAoeh2QXM7oHICg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=coldcut%20VJamm&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> and trigger audio and visual samples simultaneously,<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Melody Maker|date=16 January 1999}}</ref> subsequently bringing futuristic technology to the audio-visual field.<ref>{{cite book|title=Making Music with Samples: Tips, Techniques & 600+ Ready-to-use Samples|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=_HbhFKzIpDUC&pg=PA180&dq=coldcut+VJamm&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ftAwUrqKAoeh2QXM7oHICg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=coldcut%20VJamm&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> VJAMM rivalled some of the features of high-end and high cost tech at the time. The VJAMM technology, praised as being proof of how far computers changed the face of live music,<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Computer Music, Issue 4|date=March 1999}}</ref> became seminal in both Coldcut's live sets (which were called a “revelaton” by Melody Maker <ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Melody Maker|date=16 January 1999}}</ref> and DJ sets. Their CCTV live show was featured at major festivals including [[Glastonbury]], [[Roskilde]], [[Sónar]], the [[Montreux Jazz Festival]], and [[John Peel]]'s Meltdown. The “beautifully simple and devastatingly effective” <ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=DJ Magazine, Issue 33, Vol 2|date=13–26 February 1999}}</ref> software was deemed revolutionary,<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Muzik|date=March 1999}}</ref> and became recognized as a major factor in the evolution of clubs.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=iDJ|date=September 2001}}</ref> It eventually earned a place in the American Museum of the Moving Image's permanent collection.<ref name="ReferenceC"/> As quoted by The Independent: "Coldcut's motto? 'Don't hate the media, be the media." <ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=The Independent|date=15 January 1999}}</ref> NME was quoted as saying: “Veteran duo Coldcut are so cool they invented the remix - now they are doing the same for television.”

Also working with Camart, Black designed DJamm software in 1998, which Coldcut used on laptops for their live shows, providing the audio bed alongside VJAMM’s audiovisual samples. Matt Black explained they designed DJamm so they “could perform electronic music in a different way – i.e., not just taking a session band out to reproduce what you put together in the studio using samples. It had a relationship to DJing, but was more interactive and more effective.” <ref>{{cite web|title=AudioTechnology Magazine, issue 47|url=http://www.audiotechnology.com.au/PDF/FEATURES/AT47_Cold_Cut.pdf|work=AudioTechnology Magazine, issue 47|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Excitingly at that time, DJamm was pioneering in its ability to shuffle sliced loops into intricate sequences, enabling users to split loops into any number of parts.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Computer Music|date=March 1999}}</ref>

In 1999, Let Us Replay! was released, a double-disc remix album where Coldcut’s classic tunes were remixed by the likes of [[Cornelius (musician)|Cornelius]] (which was heralded as a highlight of the album,<ref name="ReferenceB"/> [[Irresistible Force]], [[Shut Up and Dance (band)|Shut Up And Dance]], [[Carl Craig]] and J Swinscoe.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=Update|date=22–28 February 1999}}</ref> Let Us Replay! pieces together “short sharp shocks that put the mental in ‘experimental’ and still bring the breaks till the breakadawn”.<ref>{{cite web|title=Spin|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=_NXdfW9kpokC&pg=PT21&dq=Let+Us+Replay!+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ltQwUvuXBsry2gXT1oDABg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Let%20Us%20Replay!%20coldcut&f=false|work=Spin|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> It also includes a few live tracks from the duo’s innovative world tour.<ref>{{cite book|title=All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GJNXLSBlL7IC&pg=PT51&dq=Let+Us+Replay!+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ltQwUvuXBsry2gXT1oDABg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Let%20Us%20Replay!%20coldcut&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> The CD-Rom of the album, which also contained a free demo disc of the VJamm software,<ref>{{cite web|title=Coldcut: Let Us Replay!|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/1535-let-us-replay/|work=Pitchfork|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> was one of the earliest audiovisual CD- ROMs on the market,<ref>{{cite web|title=Volume 3, Issues 5-6|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=SVFLAAAAYAAJ&q=coldcut+VJamm&dq=coldcut+VJamm&hl=en&sa=X&ei=XtQwUsfsFIPP2wWb_YHQAw&redir_esc=y|work=Artbyte|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> and Muzik claimed deserved to “have them canonized...it’s like buying an entire mini studio for under $15.”.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=Muzik|date=September 1997}}</ref>

===2000s===

In 2000, the Solid Steel show moved to [[BBC London]].

Coldcut continued to forge interesting collaborations, including 2001's "Revolution," an EP in which Coldcut created their own political party (The Guilty Party). Featuring scratches and samples of [[Tony Blair]] and [[William Hague]] speeches,<ref>{{cite web|title=Watch Coldcut - Re:Volution|url=http://www.roxwel.com/player/coldcutrevolution.html?detect_bitrate=_700|work=Roxwel|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> the 3-track EP included Nautilus' "Space Journey," which won an Intermusic contest in 2000.<ref>{{cite web|title=Coldcut Re:volution EP|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/1533-revolution-ep/|work=Pitchfork|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> The video was widely played on [[MTV]]. With ‘Space Journey,’ Coldcut were arguably the first group to give fans access to the multitrack parts, or “stems,” of their songs, building on the idea of interactivity and sharing from Let Us Play.

In 2001, Coldcut produced tracks for the [[Sega]] music video game [[REZ]]. REZ replaced typical video game sound effect with electronic music; the player created sounds and melodies, intended to simulate a form of synesthesia. The soundtrack also featured [[Adam Freeland]] and [[Oval]].

In 2002, while utilizing VJamm and Detraktor, Coldcut and Juxta remixed [[Herbie Hancock]]’s classic ‘[[Rockit]],’ creating both an audio and video remix.

Working with Marcus Clements in 2002, Coldcut released the sample manipulation algorhythm from their DJamm software as a standalone VST plugin that could be used in other software, naming it the Coldcutter.

Also in 2002, Coldcut with UK VJs Headspace (now mainly performing as the VJamm Allstars developed Gridio, an interactive, immersive audio-visual installation for the [[Pompidou Centre]] as part of the ‘Sonic Process’ exhibition.<ref>{{cite web|title=Volumes 200-202|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=qEA4AQAAIAAJ&q=coldcut+gridio+pompidou&dq=coldcut+gridio+pompidou&hl=en&sa=X&ei=EdM9Upu6G4KXqAGvsoGgBg&redir_esc=y|work=Blueprint|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> The ‘Sonic Process’ exhibition was launched at the [[MACBA]] in Barcelona in conjunction with [[Sónar]], featuring Gridio as its centerpiece. In 2003, a commission for [[Graz]] led to a specially built version of Gridio, in a cave inside the castle mountain in Austria. Gridio was later commissioned by [[O2 (United Kingdom)|O2]] for two simultaneous customised installations at the O2 Wireless Festivals in [[Leeds]] and London in 2007. That same year, Gridio was featured as part of Optronica at the opening week of the new [[BFI Southbank]] development in London.

In 2003, Black worked with [[Penny Rimbaud]] (ex [[Crass]]) on [[Crass Agenda]]'s Savage Utopia project. Black performed the piece with Rimbaud, Eve Libertine and other players at London’s [[Vortex Jazz Club]].

In 2004, Coldcut collaborated with American [[video mashup]] artist TV Sheriff to produce their cut-up entitled ‘Revolution USA.’ The tactical-media project (coordinated with Canadian art duo NomIg) followed on from the UK version and extended the premise “into an open access participatory project”.<ref>{{cite book|title=Digital Media and Democracy: Tactics in Hard Times|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4bv-eeLkG6YC&pg=PA370&dq=%22Revolution+USA%22+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=-IE-Ur-2CKnP2AWrxoDwBA&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22Revolution%20USA%22%20coldcut&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Through the multimedia political art project, over 12 gigabytes of footage from the last 40 years of US politics were made accessible to download, allowing participants to create a cut-up over a Coldcut beat.<ref>{{cite web|title=REVOLUTION:USA - A Coldcut & Nomig Project|url=http://www.portwax.net/blogwax/archives/60|work=Portwax|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> Coldcut also collaborated with TV Sheriff and NomIg to produce two audiovisual pieces "World of Evil" (2004) and "Revolution '08" (2008), both composed of footage from the United States presidential elections of respective years. The music used was composed by Coldcut, with "Revolution '08" featuring a remix by the Qemists.

Later that year, a collaboration with the [[British Antarctic Survey|British Antarctic Survey (BAS)]] led to the psychedelic art documentary 'Wavejammer.’ Coldcut was given access to the BAS archive in order to create sounds and visuals for the short film.

2004 also saw Coldcut produce a radio play in conjunction with renowned young author [[Hari Kunzru]] for [[BBC Radio 3]] (incidentally called 'Sound Mirrors').<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=DJ Times|year=2006}}</ref>

Coldcut returned with the single "Everything Is Under Control” at the end of 2005, featuring [[Jon Spencer]] (of [[Jon Spencer Blues Explosion]]) and [[Mike Ladd]]. It was followed in 2006 by their fifth studio album [[Sound Mirrors]], which was quoted as being “one of the most vital and imaginative records Jon Moore and Matt Black have ever made”,<ref name="Issues 146-148">{{cite web|title=Issues 146-148|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=33JLAAAAYAAJ&q=%22Everything+Is+Under+Control%E2%80%9D+coldcut&dq=%22Everything+Is+Under+Control%E2%80%9D+coldcut&hl=en&sa=X&ei=K4g-UqSADc3k2wXD6ID4Dw&redir_esc=y|work=Mojo|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> and saw the duo “continue, impressively, to find new ways to present political statements through a gamut of pristine electronics and breakbeats” (CITATION: Future Music, 2007). The fascinating array of guest vocalists <ref name="Issues 146-148"/> included [[Soweto Kinch]], [[Annette Peacock]], Ameri Baraka, and [[Saul Williams]]. The latter followed on from Coldcut’s remix of Williams’ ‘The Pledge’ for a project with [[DJ Spooky]].

A 100-date audiovisual world tour commenced for ‘Sound Mirrors,’ which was considered “no small feat in terms of technology or human effort”.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=26 November 2013|newspaper=DJ Times|year=2006}}</ref> Coldcut was accompanied by scratch DJ Raj and AV artist Juxta, in addition to guest vocalists from the album, including UK rapper [[Juice Aleem]], [[Roots Manuva]], [[MPHO|Mpho Skeef]], Jon Spencer and house legend [[Robert Owens (musician)|Robert Owens]].

Three further singles were released from the album including the Top 75 hit "True Skool" with [[Roots Manuva]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Coldcut|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/_/coldcut/|work=Official charts|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> The same track appeared on the [[soundtrack]] of the [[video game]] [[FIFA Street 2]].

Sponsored by the British Council, in 2005 Coldcut introduced AV mixing to India with the Union project, alongside collaborators [[Howie B]] and [[Aki Nawaz]] of [[Fun-Da-Mental]]. Coldcut created an A/V remix of the Bollywood hit movie ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’.

In 2006, Coldcut performed an A/V set based on “Music for 18 Musicians” as part of [[Steve Reich]]’s 70th birthday gig at the [[Barbican Centre]] in London.

Coldcut remixed another classic song in 2007: [[Nina Simone]]’s ‘Save Me.’ This was part of a remix album called ‘Nina Simone: Remixed & Re-imagined,’ featuring remixes from Tony Humphries, [[Francois K]] and Chris Coco.

In February 2007, Coldcut and Mixmaster Morris created a psychedelic AV obituary/tribute Coldcut, [[Mixmaster Morris]], [[Ken Campbell]], [[Bill Drummond]] and [[Alan Moore]] (March 18, 2007). [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x366w1_robert-anton-wilson-1-ken-campbell_fun Robert Anton Wilson tribute show]. [[Queen Elizabeth Hall]], London: [[Mixmaster Morris]]. (August 28, 2009) to [[Robert Anton Wilson]], the 60s author of [[Illuminatus! Trilogy]]. The tribute featured graphic novel writer [[Alan Moore]] and artist [[Bill Drummond]] and a performance by experimental theatre legend [[Ken Campbell]]. Coldcut and Morris’ hour and a half performance resembled a documentary being remixed on the fly, cutting up nearly 15 hours’ worth of Wilson’s lectures.

In 2008, an international group of party organisers, activists and artists including Coldcut received a grant from the Intelligent Energy Department of the European Union, to create a project that promoted intelligent energy and environmental awareness to the youth of Europe. The result was Energy Union, a piece of VJ cinema, political campaign, music tour, party, art exhibition and social media hub. Energy Union toured 12 EU countries throughout 2009 and 2010, completing 24 events in total. Coldcut created the Energy Union show for the tour, a one hour Audio/Visual montage on the theme of Intelligent Energy. In presenting new ideas for climate, environmental and energy communication strategies, the Energy Union tour was well received, and reached a widespread audience in cities across the UK, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Spain and the Czech Republic.

Also in 2008, Coldcut was asked to remix the theme song for British cult TV show [[Dr Who]] for the program’s 40th anniversary.<ref>{{cite book|title=CMJ New Music Report|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=B3LxC-059_QC&pg=PA29&dq=coldcut+%22dr+who%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=AxdJUtXGAYji2gWAtIDICA&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=coldcut%20%22dr%20who%22&f=false|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> In October 2008, Coldcut celebrated the legacy of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (the place where the Doctor Who theme was created) with a live DJ mix at London’s legendary Roundhouse. The live mix incorporated classic Radiophonic Workshop compositions with extended sampling of the original gear.<ref>{{cite web|title=Coldcut via The Radiophonic Workshop|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/electricproms/2008/artists/coldcut/|work=BBC|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref>

Additionally in 2008, Coldcut remixed "Ourselves", a Japanese #1 hit from the single "&" by [[Ayumi Hamasaki]]. This mix was included on the album [[Ayu-mi-x 6: Gold]].

Starting in 2009, Matt Black, with musician/artist/coder Paul Miller (creator of the TX Modular Open Source synth), developed Granul8, a new type of visual fx/source Black termed a ‘granular video synthesiser’. Granul8 allows the use of realtime VJ techniques including video feedback combined with VDMX [[VJing|VJ]] software.

From 2009 onwards, Black has been collaborating with coder and psychedelic mathematician William Rood to create a forthcoming project called Liveloom, a social media AV mixer.

==Recent work==

In 2010, Coldcut celebrated 20 years of releasing music with its label, Ninja Tune. A book entitled Ninja Tune: 20 Years of Beats and Pieces was released on 12 August 2010, and an exhibition was held at [[Black Dog Publishing]]'s Black Dog Space in London, showcasing artwork, design and photography from the label's 20 year history. A compilation album was released on 20 September in two formats: a regular version consisting of two 2-disc volumes, and a limited edition which contained six CDs, six 7" vinyl singles, a hardback copy of the book, a poster and additional items. Ninja Tune also incorporated a series of international parties. This repositioned Ninja as a continually compelling <ref>{{cite web|title=Various Artists: Ninja Tune XX|url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/sep/19/ninja-tune-xx-various-artists-review|work=theguardian|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> and influential <ref>{{cite web|title=Ninja Tune: XX, CD review|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/cdreviews/8009888/Ninja-Tune-XX-CD-review.html|work=Telegraph|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> label, being one of the “longest-running (and successful) UK indie labels to come out of the late-1980s/early-90s explosion in dance music and hip-hop” (Pitchfork, September 28, 2010). Pitchfork claimed it had a “right to show off a little”.<ref>{{cite web|title=Various Artists Ninja Tune XX: 20 Years of Beats and Pieces|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14672-ninja-tune-xx-20-years-of-beats-and-pieces/|work=Pitchfork|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref>

In July 2013, Coldcut produced a piece entitled ‘D’autre’ based on the writings of French poet [[Arthur Rimbaud]], for Forum Des Images in Paris.The following month, in August, Coldcut produced a new soundtrack for a section of André Sauvage’s classic film Études sur Paris, which was shown as part of Noise of Art at the [[British Film Institute|BFI]] in London, which celebrated 100 years of Electronic Music and Silent Cinema. Coldcut put new music to films from the [[Luigi Russolo|Russolo]] era, incorporating original recordings of Russolo's proto-synths.

In April 2013, Coldcut released Ninja Jamm, an iOS music remix [[App (iPhone)|app]], in collaboration with London-based arts and technology firm Seeper. Geared toward both casual listeners and more experienced DJs and music producers, the freemium app allows users to download and remix "Tunepacks" that feature original tracks and mixes by Coldcut, as well as other Ninja artists,<ref>{{cite web|title=Reinventing the remix: British label Ninja Tune releases Jamm app for iPhone, iPad|url=http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/11/4212568/reinventing-the-remix-british-label-ninja-tune-releases-jamm-app-for|work=The Verge|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> creating something new altogether.<ref>{{cite web|title=Review: Ninja Jamm App For iPhone|url=http://www.digitaldjtips.com/2013/04/review-ninja-jamm-app-for-iphone/|work=Digital DJ Tips|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> With the “intuitive yet deep” app,<ref>{{cite web|title=App review|url=http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/1562803/app-review-seepers-remix-app|work=Billboard|accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref> users can turn instruments on and off, swap between clips, add glitches and effects, trigger and pitch-bend stabs and one-off samples, and change the tempo of the track instantly.

To date over 20 tunepacks have been released, including [[Amon Tobin]], [[Bonobo]], Coldcut, [[DJ Food]], Martyn, [[Emika]], [[Machinedrum]], [[Raffertie]], [[Irresistible Force]], [[FaltyDL]], Shuttle, [[Starkey (artist)|Starkey]]. Ninja Jamm was featured by [[Apple]] in the New and Noteworthy section of the App Store in the week of release and it received over 100,000 downloads in the first week. Coldcut intend to develop Ninja Jamm further.

In 2013, Coldcut are working on a new album, collaborating with producer Dave Taylor (aka Solid Groove aka Switch). This is planned for 2014 release.

"'''Destroy Rock & Roll'''" is a song by British electronic musician [[Mylo]]. It was released as the second single from his [[Destroy Rock & Roll|debut album of the same name]]. Produced by Mylo, the song [[sampling (music)|samples]] the recording "Invocation for Judgement Against and Destruction of Rock Music", by religious organization [[Church Universal and Triumphant]]. Samples from the recording make up the entirety of the song's vocal track, which explicitly lists several popular 1980s musicians and bands. The track peaked at #15 on the [[UK Singles Chart]], and also reached the top 40 on the Finnish singles charts.

The song's accompanying music video depicts Mylo in a large white room spraying graffiti art depicting symbols, pictures, or the names of the artists mentioned on the track.

==Composition==
The track was produced by Mylo. It contains [[sampling (music)|samples]] of "Invocation for Judgement Against and Destruction of Rock Music", a 1984 recording by religious organization [[Church Universal and Triumphant]]. The original recording heavily condemns [[rock music]], and many popular artists from the 1980s; it appears on a release entitled ''The Sounds of American Doomsday Cults''.

Samples from the aforementioned recording make up the entirety of the song's vocal track. "Destroy Rock & Roll" begins with a sample of a severe voice condemning "all perversions of the [[third eye]] through distorted and exaggerated images, perverted movements of the body and [[breakdancing]] and other forms of dancing." The same voice calls for "the destroying of [[rock music]] directed specifically against children through the videos that were portrayed," and "working specifically through" certain individuals. The voice also calls for "the judgement of the sacred fire on this hour before the throne of Almighty God" through these individuals.

The [[compilation album]] '''''Radio 1 Established 1967''''' is a collection of covers especially recorded for Radio 1 by a number of artists. The album celebrates the 40th [[anniversary]] of [[BBC Radio 1]]. There are 40 songs recorded by 40 different artists (a little bit more than 40, since there are some duets). Each artist was given a year, and were allowed to cover a song from that year. The only exception to this was the [[Kaiser Chiefs]] – since they were given 1967, they had to cover ''[[Flowers In The Rain]]'' by [[The Move]], which was the first song played on Radio 1. The album was released on 1 October 2007. [[The Raconteurs]] appear as the only band to cover a song, and have one of their own songs covered.

It is to be noted that not all the years correspond to the original year of release, e.g. 1968, 1987, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1997 and 1999. The songs were however remixed and/or re-released in those years, so the [[fudge factor]] fits.

"'''Don't Get Me Wrong'''" is a song released by the pop-rock group [[The Pretenders]]. It was the first single taken from the group's 1986 album, ''[[Get Close]]''. It can also be found on the band's ''[[The Singles (The Pretenders album)|The Singles]]'' album, released in 1987.

In the US, "Don't Get Me Wrong" became the group's second Top 10 hit on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] chart, peaking at #10.<ref name="Whitburn">[[Joel Whitburn|Whitburn, Joel]] (2004). ''The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits'', 8th Edition (Billboard Publications), page 505.</ref> Their first Top 10 pop hit, "[[Back on the Chain Gang]]", had reached #5 in 1983. "Don't Get Me Wrong" also spent three weeks atop the ''Billboard'' [[Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks|Album Rock Tracks]] chart in November 1986.<ref name="Whitburn"/> In the UK, the song also peaked at #10 in the [[UK Singles Chart]].<ref>[http://www.chartstats.com/songinfo.php?id=13768 UK Singles Chart info] Chartstats.com. Retrieved 22 April 2009.</ref>

The song features a jangly [[guitar]] sound and an emphasis on melody. Hynde's lyrics contain literary and scientific references in addition to the more relationship-based subject matter typical for [[pop music]]. The song was [[cover version|covered]] by British pop singer [[Lily Allen]] for [[BBC Radio 1]]'s 40th anniversary celebrations in 2007 and was released on the subsequent [[Radio 1 Established 1967|compilation album]].

The music video for the song is a tribute to the British 1960s TV spy series ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'', with Chrissie Hynde playing [[Emma Peel]] searching for [[John Steed]] ([[Patrick Macnee]] appears in the original series' footage, with Hynde superimposed).

The song has been performed on stage in France and Belgium [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEveTwEsMho http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT0msD90QwI ] by the leading French popular singer [[La Grande Sophie]] (Sophie Huriaux) for several years, including at all her 120 concerts of her ‘Place du Fantôme’ tour of 2012-13. La Grande Sophie has also performed an acoustic version in the studio of OuiFM in April 2012. [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xpu90n_la-grande-sophie-pretenders-cover-session-acoustique-oui-fm_music ] She has not included 'Don't Get Me Wrong' on any album.

==Origin==
Hynde stated in the VH1 Story Tellers series that she got the inspiration for the chorus' melody while on a British Airways flight. The airline's distinct "tone" jingle, which was played at certain times in the flight (for announcements from the pilot, seatbelt attention, etc.) had the same series of tones/notes as the chorus: DON'T- GET- ME- WRONG.

'''''Wide Angle''''' is the debut studio album by British [[breakbeat]] producers [[Hybrid (Welsh band)|Hybrid]], and was re-released in 2000 as a double-CD edition entitled '''''Wider Angle'''''. It was released to critical acclaim, described by ''[[The Times]]'' as "one of the most moving pieces of electronic music ever".

The core Hybrid duo of Mike Truman and Chris Healings cooperated with Lee Mullin to create the [[dance music]] backbone of the album, with a mix of [[progressive electronica|progressive]] [[breakbeat]], [[trance (music)|trance]] and [[house (music)|house]]. However, they were joined by a wide array of musical personnel for this expansive, literally symphonic album. Orchestral parts were performed by the [[Russian Federal Orchestra]], conducted by [[Sacha Puttnam]], who was also responsible for the orchestral arrangements. [[Julee Cruise]], best known for the theme of ''[[Twin Peaks]]'', supplied vocals on several songs, and [[Soon E MC]] added French rapping to ''[[Sinequanon]]''.

In 2000, the album was re-released as a double CD package, labelled ''Wider Angle''. The second CD, titled ''Live Angle'', featured a live set with [[Alex Madge]] on drums and [[Jamie Griffiths]] on [[scratching|the wheels of steel]], and several singles, including ''Kid 2000'' with [[Chrissie Hynde]].

'''''Classics''''' is a [[greatest hits album]] released by [[Hybrid (Welsh band)|Hybrid]]. The album contains songs from Hybrid's previous studio albums and also contains a cover of "[[Enjoy the Silence]]", originally done by [[Depeche Mode]]. The cover was a result of a fan poll, where fans could suggest songs for Hybrid to cover.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hybridsoundsystem.com/hybrid-classics-we-need-your-help |title=Hybrid – Classics : We need your help… « Hybrid |publisher=Hybridsoundsystem.com |date=2011-05-31 |accessdate=2012-08-22}}</ref> The album was originally due for autumn 2011, but ended up being delayed until July 30, 2012. The album was released, both as a standard CD, as well as a 4-disc box set, which contains previously unreleased material. The box set was originally limited to 300 copies, however the number was increased to 500.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.distinctiverecords.com/news_210612.html |title=Distinctive Records |publisher=Distinctive Records |date=2012-06-21 |accessdate=2012-08-22}}</ref> Distinct'ive stated that the deluxe edition will see a digital release at some point in the future, due to public demand. A 5th disc was only made available to the first 40 orders of the deluxe edition, and then later given away.

==Overview==
The album contains songs taken from the Hybrid's previous albums. "Finished Symphony" and "If I Survive" appeared on Hybrid's debut album [[Wide Angle]]. The songs were very popular around the time of release and have since been played, and highly favored, by several DJ's, as well as appearing in several commercials and TV shows. Most notably, "Finished Symphony" appeared in the British television show [[Top Gear (2002 TV series)|Top Gear]]. "If I Survive" features [[Julee Cruise]] on the vocals and still remains one of Hybrid's most well known works. Both tracks have strings provided by the Russian Federal Orchestra. The album was made with the original third member, Lee Mullen, who has since left the group. The deluxe edition features orchestral and instrumental versions of several tracks from "Wide Angle" as well as an unreleased remix of "If I Survive" which featured Adam Taylor on the vocals.

"True To Form" and "Higher Than A Skyscraper" both appeared on Hybrid's second album ''[[Morning Sci-Fi]]''. Both tracks feature [[Peter Hook]], previously a member of [[New Order]], who played on bass for 3 hours during the sessions. Some of Hook's contributions would later be reconstructed and reused on ''[[I Choose Noise]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://clubevents.info/interviews.php?interview_id=27 |title=clubevents - interviews :: Hybrid |publisher=Clubevents.info |date= |accessdate=2012-08-22}}</ref> The strings for both tracks were provided by The Hermitage Orchestra, conducted by [[Andrew Skeet]]. The version of "True To Form" that appears on this album however is the Acoustic Mix, which combines the Acoustic Version, previously released on the "True To Form" single and the Soundtrack Edit, which is also featured on the deluxe edition. The deluxe edition features an instrumental version of "True To Form", as well as an orchestral version of "Blackout", which originally featured [[Kirsty Hawkshaw]] on vocals.

Hybrid's third album ''I Choose Noise'' is represented by "Dogstar", "Keep It In The Family" and "Just For Today". "Dogstar" features [[Perry Farrell]] on the vocals and the track was later re-recorded as part of Perry Farrell's [[The Satellite Party|Satellite Party]] project, which coincidentally also featured a re-recording of "Dream Stalker", also taken from "I Choose Noise". The entire album was a collaboration with noted film composer [[Harry Gregson-Williams]] and fellow film composer [[Stephen Barton]]. Previously, Hybrid and Harry Gregson-Williams collaborated on film scores for ''[[Man on Fire (2004 film)|Man on Fire]]'' and ''[[Domino (2005 film)|Domino]]''. Though Harry Gregson-Williams would only make a small appearance on Hybrid's next album, they would continuously collaborate for several film scores, such as ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian]]'', ''[[Unstoppable (2010 film)|Unstoppable]]'', ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'', and the ''[[Total Recall (2012 film)|Total Recall]]'' remake. [[John Graham (producer)|John Graham]], who makes music under the name 'Quivver,' also contributed vocals to two songs: "Choke" and "Until Tomorrow," though only the instrumentals make an appearance on disc 3.

Hybrid's fourth album ''[[Disappear Here (Hybrid album)|Disappear Here]]'' is represented by "Formula of Fear", "Disappear Here" and "Break My Soul." The album was the first to feature a new third member, Charlotte James, who became the new female lead of the group, during the recording of the album. The strings were provided by [[The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra]], conducted by Andrew Skeet once again. Like before, the deluxe edition features orchestral editions of several tracks. Some of those tracks feature Tim Hutton, who previously played alongside [[Ian Brown]] and [[The Prodigy]] and also played instruments on previous Hybrid albums.

The deluxe edition features several items of unreleased and rare material. Among the tracks are several that were purely made for advertising agencies. Among them are the track "Orbit," which was later reworked into "Awesome" as part of "Perry Farrell's Satellite Party". Several of these tracks also made an appearance in TV shows, such as ''Mr. Smith'', which infamously appeared in ''Top Gear''.{{which|date=August 2012}} A few unreleased remixes are also included, such as the Shifter & Carvel remix of $50 Pistol, which originally appeared on the compilation album ''[[Soundsystem 01]]''. The original track was originally a remix of "Humvee Chase," previously made for Déjá Vu, however it was later remade into "Empire" and eventually appeared on the "Disappear Here" album. A surprise inclusion is also the track "Experiment IV," a cover of the [[Kate Bush]] song of the same name. The track was recorded during the "Wide Angle" era and was previously only available on a rare promotional CD, named "Views From Wide Angle". Among other songs are "Lights Go Down Knives Come Out" and "Everything Is Brand New." Both songs appeared on 'Morning-Sci-Fi' and 'I Choose Noise" respectively, though they were only accessible by rewinding the CD's from the very first tracks. Initial copies mistakenly excluded 'Orbit' (which is presented in its full 5 minute length), prompting Distinct'ive to delay shipping of the box sets.

The fifth disc contains special and previously unreleased versions of tracks, such as "Disappear Here" and "Original Sin", though some of the material has been released in the past. The CD is mixed, which could explain the appearance of tracks, such as "$50 Pistol." It was originally intended to be released with the first 40 orders, with an additional 10 being given away randomly, however Distinct'ive made the fifth disc available to download for people who ordered it, due to continuous shipping delays.<ref>http://www.distinctiverecords.com/whitelabels.html</ref>

'''''Classics''''' is a [[greatest hits album]] released by [[Hybrid (Welsh band)|Hybrid]]. The album contains songs from Hybrid's previous studio albums and also contains a cover of "[[Enjoy the Silence]]", originally done by [[Depeche Mode]]. The cover was a result of a fan poll, where fans could suggest songs for Hybrid to cover.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hybridsoundsystem.com/hybrid-classics-we-need-your-help |title=Hybrid – Classics : We need your help… « Hybrid |publisher=Hybridsoundsystem.com |date=2011-05-31 |accessdate=2012-08-22}}</ref> The album was originally due for autumn 2011, but ended up being delayed until July 30, 2012. The album was released, both as a standard CD, as well as a 4-disc box set, which contains previously unreleased material. The box set was originally limited to 300 copies, however the number was increased to 500.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.distinctiverecords.com/news_210612.html |title=Distinctive Records |publisher=Distinctive Records |date=2012-06-21 |accessdate=2012-08-22}}</ref> Distinct'ive stated that the deluxe edition will see a digital release at some point in the future, due to public demand. A 5th disc was only made available to the first 40 orders of the deluxe edition, and then later given away.

==Overview==
The album contains songs taken from the Hybrid's previous albums. "Finished Symphony" and "If I Survive" appeared on Hybrid's debut album [[Wide Angle]]. The songs were very popular around the time of release and have since been played, and highly favored, by several DJ's, as well as appearing in several commercials and TV shows. Most notably, "Finished Symphony" appeared in the British television show [[Top Gear (2002 TV series)|Top Gear]]. "If I Survive" features [[Julee Cruise]] on the vocals and still remains one of Hybrid's most well known works. Both tracks have strings provided by the Russian Federal Orchestra. The album was made with the original third member, Lee Mullen, who has since left the group. The deluxe edition features orchestral and instrumental versions of several tracks from "Wide Angle" as well as an unreleased remix of "If I Survive" which featured Adam Taylor on the vocals.

"True To Form" and "Higher Than A Skyscraper" both appeared on Hybrid's second album ''[[Morning Sci-Fi]]''. Both tracks feature [[Peter Hook]], previously a member of [[New Order]], who played on bass for 3 hours during the sessions. Some of Hook's contributions would later be reconstructed and reused on ''[[I Choose Noise]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://clubevents.info/interviews.php?interview_id=27 |title=clubevents - interviews :: Hybrid |publisher=Clubevents.info |date= |accessdate=2012-08-22}}</ref> The strings for both tracks were provided by The Hermitage Orchestra, conducted by [[Andrew Skeet]]. The version of "True To Form" that appears on this album however is the Acoustic Mix, which combines the Acoustic Version, previously released on the "True To Form" single and the Soundtrack Edit, which is also featured on the deluxe edition. The deluxe edition features an instrumental version of "True To Form", as well as an orchestral version of "Blackout", which originally featured [[Kirsty Hawkshaw]] on vocals.

Hybrid's third album ''I Choose Noise'' is represented by "Dogstar", "Keep It In The Family" and "Just For Today". "Dogstar" features [[Perry Farrell]] on the vocals and the track was later re-recorded as part of Perry Farrell's [[The Satellite Party|Satellite Party]] project, which coincidentally also featured a re-recording of "Dream Stalker", also taken from "I Choose Noise". The entire album was a collaboration with noted film composer [[Harry Gregson-Williams]] and fellow film composer [[Stephen Barton]]. Previously, Hybrid and Harry Gregson-Williams collaborated on film scores for ''[[Man on Fire (2004 film)|Man on Fire]]'' and ''[[Domino (2005 film)|Domino]]''. Though Harry Gregson-Williams would only make a small appearance on Hybrid's next album, they would continuously collaborate for several film scores, such as ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian]]'', ''[[Unstoppable (2010 film)|Unstoppable]]'', ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'', and the ''[[Total Recall (2012 film)|Total Recall]]'' remake. [[John Graham (producer)|John Graham]], who makes music under the name 'Quivver,' also contributed vocals to two songs: "Choke" and "Until Tomorrow," though only the instrumentals make an appearance on disc 3.

Hybrid's fourth album ''[[Disappear Here (Hybrid album)|Disappear Here]]'' is represented by "Formula of Fear", "Disappear Here" and "Break My Soul." The album was the first to feature a new third member, Charlotte James, who became the new female lead of the group, during the recording of the album. The strings were provided by [[The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra]], conducted by Andrew Skeet once again. Like before, the deluxe edition features orchestral editions of several tracks.

===1994–1998: Origins===
Basement Jaxx started in [[Brixton]], [[South London]], in 1994, where they held a regular club night called Basement Jaxx, which was also held in a variety of venues including [[George IV in Brixton UK|The George IV]], The Crypt and The Junction. They were joined by DJs including DJ Sneak, [[Daft Punk]], and singer [[Corrina Joseph]]. They mutated the night into an equally popular club called Rooty, the namesake of [[Rooty|their second album]].<ref name="rooty_name">{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/r536995/review |title=Rooty |author=John Bush |work=[[Allmusic]] |accessdate=19 April 2012}}</ref>

The track "Good Luck" was re-released in 2004, after exposure from being the theme to [[BBC]]'s [[Euro 2004]] coverage, and was also featured in the soundtrack of ''[[Just Married]]'' and ''[[Appleseed (film)|Appleseed]]'', an [[anime]] film released in 2004. ''Kish Kash'' was recognised the following year at the [[Grammy Awards of 2005|47th Grammy Awards]], winning Buxton and Ratcliffe the inaugural '[[Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album|Best Electronic/Dance Album]]' award.

===2005: ''The Singles''===
In 2005, the duo released the number 1 compilation ''[[The Singles (Basement Jaxx album)|The Singles]]'' along with a video collection on DVD, comprising all the singles from their previous three albums, some earlier releases (featured on ''Atlantic Jaxx Recordings: A Compilation''), and two new tracks, "[[Oh My Gosh]]" and "U Don't Know Me", which were both released as singles. ''The Singles (Special Edition)'' was also released, which contained the original compilation along with a bonus disc entitled ''Bonus Traxx'', containing many previously unreleased tracks, as well as remixes of existing Basement Jaxx songs. The duo appeared as a headline act on the Pyramid stage at [[Glastonbury Festival]] in 2005 when [[Kylie Minogue]] was forced to pull out after being diagnosed with cancer. Basement Jaxx played with a live band made up of artists who recorded the album. Drumtech-trained Nathan 'Tugg' Curran was on drums for Glastonbury and has remained a constant performer.

===2006–2007: ''Crazy Itch Radio''===
Their fourth studio album, ''[[Crazy Itch Radio]]'', was released on 4 September 2006 in the UK, simultaneously with its first single, "Hush Boy".

In 2006, Basement Jaxx were also one of the support acts for [[Robbie Williams]] on his 'Close Encounters' tour. For [[Cyndi Lauper]]'s ''[[Bring Ya to the Brink]]'' in 2008, they produced and wrote the track "Rocking Chair". They also released a series of releases over this period of new material, entiled ''[[Planet (Basement Jaxx albums)|Planet]]''.

'''Keith Thornton''' (born 19 October 1966), better known by his [[stage name]] '''Kool Keith''', is an [[United States|American]] [[rapping|rapper]] from [[The Bronx]], [[New York]]. A founding member of [[Ultramagnetic MCs]], Kool Keith has recorded prolifically both as a solo artist and in group collaborations. Kool Keith is the self-proclaimed inventor of [[horrorcore]],<ref name=ukhh/> and is generally considered to be one of hip-hop's most eccentric and unusual personalities.

==History==
Kool Keith began his rap career with the group [[Ultramagnetic MCs]]. After the release of their influential 1988 album ''[[Critical Beatdown]]'', Thornton was reportedly institutionalized in [[Bellevue Hospital Center]].<ref name="RollingStone">{{cite book |last= |first= |editor=Brackett, Nathan; Hoard, Christian |title=The New Rolling Stone Album Guide |chapter=Kool Keith |chapterurl=http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/koolkeith/biography |edition=fourth edition |year=2004 |publisher=Simon and Schuster |isbn=0-7432-0169-8 |pages=466–467 }}</ref><ref name="Cooper">{{cite book |last=Cooper |first=Sean |editor= |others= |title=All Music Guide to Hip-Hop: The Definitive Guide to Rap & Hip-hop |year=2003 |isbn=0-87930-759-5 |publisher=Backbeat Books |pages=267–268 |chapter=Kool Keith |chapterurl={{Allmusic|class=artist|id=p200714|pure_url=yes}} }}</ref> However, he later said that the idea that he was institutionalized came from a flippant remark made during a stressful interview, and he never expected the story to become so well known.<ref name="AVClub">{{cite web|last=Downs |first=David|title=Kool Keith and KutMasta Kurt|publisher=[[The A.V. Club]]|date=November 21, 2008|url=http://www.avclub.com/content/interview/kool_keith_and_kutmasta_kurt|accessdate=2008-11-21}}</ref>

After continuing with Ultramagnetic for two more albums (1992's ''[[Funk Your Head Up]]'' and 1993's [[The Four Horsemen (album)|''The Four Horsemen'']]), Thornton released his first notable solo single, "Earth People," in 1995, under the name [[Dr. Octagon]]. This was followed by the release of ''[[Dr. Octagonecologyst]]'' the following year. The album's production by [[Dan the Automator]] and [[Kutmasta Kurt]], with [[scratching]] by [[DJ Qbert]] was acclaimed by critics, and the album was released nationally by [[DreamWorks Records]] in 1997, after an initial release on the smaller Bulk Recordings label (as, simply, ''Dr. Octagon'')a year prior. DreamWorks also issued an instrumental version of the album, titled ''[[Instrumentalyst (Octagon Beats)]]''.<ref name="RollingStone"/><ref name="Cooper"/> Thornton followed the album with ''[[Sex Style]]'' in 1997, under the name Kool Keith.

In 1996, Thornton collaborated with [[Tim Dog]] for the single "The Industry is Wack," performing under the name Ultra<ref name="RollingStone"/><ref name="Cooper"/>—the album [[Big Time (Ultra album)|''Big Time'']] soon followed. In 1999, he released the album ''[[First Come, First Served]]'' under the name "Dr. Dooom", in which the album's main character killed off Dr. Octagon on the album's opening track. The same year, on August 10, 1999, Thornton released ''[[Black Elvis/Lost in Space]]''. It peaked at #10 on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' Heatseekers [[Billboard charts|chart]], #74 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and #180 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]],<ref>{{cite web |url={{Allmusic|class=album|id=r425836|pure_url=yes}} |title=Charts and awards ''Black Elvis/Lost in Space'' |accessdate=2008-09-08 |publisher=[[Allmusic]]}}</ref> and stands as Thornton's most commercially-successful project to date.

On July 25, 2000, Thornton released the album ''[[Matthew (album)|Matthew]]''. It peaked at #47 on the ''Billboard'' Heatseekers chart.<ref>{{cite web |url={{Allmusic|class=album|id=r490418|pure_url=yes}} |title=Charts and awards for ''Matthew'' |accessdate=2008-09-08 |publisher=[[Allmusic]]}}</ref> The same year, Thornton collaborated with [[Ice-T]], Marc Live, Black Silver and Pimp Rex for the album ''[[Pimp to Eat]]'', under the group name [[Analog Brothers]], with Keith performing as Keith Korg and Ice-T as Ice Oscillator.<ref name="RollingStone"/>

In 2013, Keith appeared as Dr. Octagon on the [[Yeah Yeah Yeahs]] song "Buried Alive", from their album ''[[Mosquito (Yeah Yeah Yeahs album)|Mosquito]]''.

Thornton's [http://www.koolkeith.co.uk fan site] refers to his discography of roughly fifty album releases, most of which have been commercially released. Singles such as "Spectrum" continue to appear online under the artist's name, on sites such as [[SoundCloud]] and [[Spotify]].

Thornton's lyrics are particularly dense, and he is a master of [[internal rhyme]]. His extensive use of internal rhyme predates [[Eminem]] and other artists who have embraced this style.

'''Peeping Tom''' is a band led by [[Mike Patton]]. To date, they have released one eponymous album and two singles on [[Ipecac Recordings]]. The band has featured a wide variety of well-known artists such as [[Massive Attack]], [[Norah Jones]] and [[Kool Keith]].

Peeping Tom is Mike Patton's most mainstream accessible work since his days with [[Faith No More]].

==History==
After about six years of delays, the self-titled debut album, ''[[Peeping Tom (Peeping Tom album)|Peeping Tom]]'', finally saw the light of day in 2006. It was released through Mike Patton's own label, [[Ipecac Recordings]].

The whole album was written by Patton with a wishlist of collaborators in mind that he hoped would perform on the finished tracks. "It's an exotic way of working for someone accustomed to a band environment," Patton says. "It was charming, really. None of the usual Animal House stuff. Instead of swapping spit and underwear, we were swapping files."

The finished album featured performances by artists such as [[Norah Jones]] ("Sucker"), [[Kool Keith]] ("Getaway") and [[Massive Attack]] ("Kill the DJ"). Referring to the fact the almost none of the artists recorded their parts with Patton there he said: "Plenty of people on the record are still complete strangers to me."

The first single from the album was "Mojo." It was accompanied by a music video featuring appearances by [[Danny DeVito]], [[Mark Hoppus]] of [[Blink-182]], [[Rachel Hunter]] as well as song performers [[Dan the Automator]] and [[Rahzel]]. The video was created by buzzed about music video director Matt McDermitt.

The band made their worldwide live debut on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on May 26th, 2006.

As work on ''Peeping Tom'' began in 2000 and was interrupted to accommodate Patton's recording or touring work with [[Fantômas (band)|Fantômas]], [[Tomahawk (band)|Tomahawk]], [[Lovage (band)|Lovage]], [[General Patton vs. The X-Ecutioners]], [[Kaada/Patton]], Rahzel and guest turns on [[Björk]] and Massive Attack records, two feature film scores, his film acting debut in ''[[Firecracker (film)|Firecracker]]'', videogame voice work in ''[[The Darkness (video game)|The Darkness]]'' and an ultimately "ridiculous" major label flirtation, enough material has massed for a second and possibly third record.

A ''Peeping Tom'' tour is also in discussion, pending various collaborators' schedules.<ref>[http://www.ipecac.com/artists/peeping_tom Peeping Tom]</ref>

==Style==
Describing the band's sound, Mike Patton said:<blockquote>I don't listen to the radio, but if I did, this is what I'd want it to sound like. This is my version of pop music. In a way, this is an exercise for me: taking all these things I've learned over the years and putting them into a pop format. I've worked with many people who have said to me, 'oh you have a pop record in you, eventually you'll find it,' and I always laughed at them. I guess I owe them an apology.</blockquote>

'''Jared Faber''' (also known as '''J-Radical''') is an American musician, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist. He grew up in New York City where he attended [[High School of Performing Arts]], and later continued his music education at [[Berklee College of Music]], studying jazz arranging and composition.

Faber is primarily known as a composer for television and film. He was nominated for an [[Emmy Award]] for his work on ''[[Clifford's Puppy Days]]''.<ref>http://www.variety.com/awardcentral_article/VR1117937701.html?nav=news</ref>

Faber composed the music for the ABC show ''Emily’s Reasons Why Not'' starring [[Heather Graham (actress)|Heather Graham]]. In addition to the episodic scoring, Faber co-wrote the theme song with frequent collaborator [[Emily Kapnek]], which was performed by [[Macy Gray]]. Kapnek and Faber also composed the theme song for “[[As Told by Ginger]]” and “Clifford’s Puppy Days”.<ref>http://www.blindlemonmusic.com/press/PRESS%20-%20Not%20Just%20Kids%20Stuff%20-%20EMPIRE.pdf</ref><ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_kapnek</ref>

Also he is the founder of the label "Blind Lemon Music".<ref>http://soundcloud.com/blind-lemon-music</ref>

Faber’s forays into Latin music have led to him scoring the Fox pilot “Ernesto” starring [[Wilmer Valderrama]], which had a decidedly Mexican style as well as collaborating with Wilmer and [[Rosario Dawson]] on the viral web series, “Voto Latino”.<ref>http://www.declareyourself.com/pressroom/declare_yourself_goes_old_skool_and_gets_out_the_vote_with_new_animated_psas.html</ref>
