DJ Food

Dusty, sample-heavy grooves that bridge the gap between jazz club and hip-hop basement. Cinematic downtempo for late-night thinking and deep crate digging.

Intro

Originating in London, the United Kingdom, the electronica project DJ Food began in 1990 under the direction of Coldcut members Jonathan More and Matt Black. Initially established as a collaborative effort for the Ninja Tune label, the act featured a rotating lineup of contributors including Patrick Carpenter. Today, the project functions as a solo endeavor led by Kevin Foakes, who continues to represent the group under the moniker Strictly Kev.
