DJs Jonathan More and Matt Black, aka Coldcut, blush wine to acclaim in the mid-'80s through production and remix go for a number of modern stone, rap, and dance outfits, including Yaz, Lisa Stansfield, Junior Reid, Blondie, Eric B. & Rakim, and Queen Latifah. While that connexion has pegged them as a production of the U.K. acidic planetary house and rave scenes, the pair's larger commitment has been to urban breakbeat styles such as hip-hop, ambient dub, and jungle; the three of which take established the bulk of their recorded output since their first base mid-'80s white-label EP, Hey Kids, What Time Is It? Comprising project titles like Hedfunk, Hex, DJ Food, and Coldcut, More and Black experience assembled an empire of U.K. breakbeat and observational hip-hop through their Ninja Tune/Ntone labels and been a consolidative force in resistance experimental electronic music through their eclecticist radio show, Solid Steel, and clubhouse and turn dates.
More than and Black got their start, non surprisingly, as radio DJs, working at the sea rover station Network 21 during the first half of the '80s, and latching onto the snowballing club scene mid to late-decade. Their title to early celebrity, Hey Kids, What Time Is It?, was modeled on the cut'n'scratch lazy Susan esthetic of resistance deck heroes care Grandmaster Flash and Double D & Steinski. Widely regarded as the U.K.'s first breaks track record and an influential force in bringing personal identity to London's nascent lodge culture, the record -- released as a U.S. import billed to DJ Coldcut to avoid sampling judicial proceeding -- opened as many doors for More and Black as it did for DJs, delivery scores of production and remix work their way. The attention (and sales royalties) also allowed them to set up their Ninja Tune and Ntone labels, which together have been home to some of the to the highest degree acclaimed and influential artists of London's post-rave subway system view, including DJ Food, Drome, Journeyman, 9 Lazy 9, Up, Bustle & Out, and the Herbaliser.
Although Coldcut was their earliest nom de pluck, following a befogged constrict with Arista, the name remained in legal channels for the following few years. The intervening period found the pair no less active, releasing a flood of material under different names and continuing to work with young groups. The Coldcut name returned to More and Black in 1995, and the geminate noted with a mix CD as contribution of the Journeys by DJ series dubbed 70 Minutes of Madness. The tone ending was credited with delivery to wider attention the sorting of freestyle mixture the couple were ever known for through their wireless render on KISS FM, Solid Steel, and their steady clubhouse dates, a style that has since interpreted off through clubs like Blech and the Heavenly Sunday Social. In 1997, Coldcut lastly released another full-length, Allow Us Play! Two years subsequently, the partner off followed up with the remix album Let Us Replay! Numerous shuffle CDs appeared ahead they returned in 2006 with the fresh album Good Mirrors, a slick album that recalled their debut.
