Coldcut Sample Contest

Summary
Coldcut are the UK’s most irrepressible musical mavericks. From their origins as “the first Brit artists to really get hip-hop’s class-cutup aesthetic,” they introduced rap to ravers, creating a heady blend of hip-hop production aesthetics and proto-acid house grooves, and became a precursor for scenes as diverse as electronica, breakbeat, ambient, and baggy.

Their remix of Eric B and Rakim’s “Paid in Full” took their radical sound mainstream, and caught the attention of the industry at large. They soon took the pop world by storm, introducing Yazz and Lisa Stansfield to the world, and producing both artists’ most memorable hits. They “somehow found room at the table for Queen Latifah, Mark E. Smith, and Jello Biafra” (SPIN). More recently, they’ve made interactive, cut n’ paste installations for an exhibition of work by one of their own precursors, William S Burroughs, following on from their 90s cut-up software and audiovisual releases which inspired both todays VJ scene and music-software convergence.

They released their Ninja Jamm app in 2012 which has reached 400,000 downloads. It has become a fully-fledged instrument the duo use live alongside other software inventions.

Their long term relationship with Greenpeace continues with DJ sets for the organization at Glastonbury for the last three years. Also they’ve become go to DJs for Avaaz’s huge climate change marches in London, and Paris COP In the same vein. Coldcut’s long-standing political art activism finding itself ever relevant in these turbulent times.
