Awesomeness, Kid... Keep up this shit!!! Seriously, one of the few reasons I still buy Real and Legal records (and that only happens when it's good, like I used to do when there were no mp3's or oggs or whatevers ;) ) Kid Koala is mental, same goes out to all those with the ninja tune label, maaad vibes, great tunes, intelligence in motion, relevance straight from the ocean of humanties ability to create out of distortion. peace out! DS
Met him the day I bought 'some of my best friends are DJ's' when he played with bullfrog in hamilton.. great guy signed it even though there was a Very lovely blonde chatting him up..seen em again here in calgary...FIVE turntables at once..bLaMo... (very nice guy too)
I remember a performance of the Kid in belgium bout 5 jears ago; it was with the nice mellow disshaped samples of 'Shout!' + 'Shake it like polyroid pic' + song from Radiohead or the Police.
Man, he really is the nicest DJ in the game. I've got Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Some of My Best Friends our DJs, and Your Mom's Favorite DJ and I just can't stop listening to them!
Eric, You are so talented, your mixes amaze me. I'm even more amazed that your videos don't have more views. I feel priveliged to hear them, and I would honored if someone of your talent mixed sound for my lyrics/stories. Keep it up man!
You know what I hate about NinjaTune? They put a lot of distorsion in their music. In their older records you can hear crackles and such. :( They are better now. And most of their artists are awesome!
i think most of the distortion (crackles?) is what the artist chose to put in the song. Lots of hip hop / trip hop / samplers (especially kid koala who plays strictly vinyl i think) use records they found in various stores through out their life, and sampled them directly off of a turn table. it's the records that add the clicks and pops to the music, not the record label. nothing to complain about or hate.
"In the secret clan of the Ninja, there is a legend that foretells, a foreign child will come among them. They believe this was the child"
Okay, last night in Orlando he mixed that into a song. And it was awesome. I have no idea what it was. But it kind of had this asian sounding theme with some horns. I wanna know what that was!
now bomm a rang all that stuff you made and scracth your car toon with the video scratch thing e but with the epic 5 k ress or the 4 4 red one.. and keep it goiooddding. going.
i used too do just guitar bass trumpet drums type jazz stuff, one day after work i saw drunk trumpet on tv and i got it, now i mess around on protools remixing and doing electronic stuff this guy brough me in to the future so too say
this man is one of the best dj's, period. if you listen to his record, you see that he does some of the sickest mixes, drummings, transformers, crabs, flares, and just regular scratching that he is one of the worlds best dj's, and more importantly, probably the most original.
understand that he did the battles, he's expandin the turntablist sound, something which requires 4 times the amount of skill as the people who are already changin the way it sounds.
i've seen him in interview, at his place, in my hometown, montreal, and all, yea ALL of his rooms are stuffed with vinyls. He don't know what to do with them. And he has such an eclectic way of sorting them... by city names, women names, under-genres, instruments... He's one music lover before all i think!
i heard him say funki porcini
i love that man

No, I know why samples sound bad on old records, but some other artists that use other instruments, not the turntable, still sound bad at times.
