dj yoda mod brother?

Thanks to the ever-vigilant Keith 'Vim!' Baylis, got hold of the BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix from the _genius_ DJ Yoda And Greenpeace, promoting their amusingly named "Unthugged" mix-album with 2 hours of UK cut-up turntablism of the highest order, messing up the Batman TV series theme, Jay-Z over slowed-down jungle ('Super Sharp Shooter'!) , the Meow Mix commercial with Cassetteboy's Jamie Oliver piss-take (which Holly appreciated greatly), and a veritable cornucopia of other goodness... hey, and I just noticed the mix is still up on the Radio 1 page right now [UPDATE - no it's not any more, doh!], and here's the tracklisting. Clever, _and_ funky? Damn them.

In other news, people were poking me mightily about not updating the modsoulbrother site, which is my contribution to .MOD (music from the demo/hacking scene) history, and an attempt to bring a little perspective and explanation to what is not a well-described or documented scene. So I actually took some time out and put another entry online, for Martin 'Nuke' Iveson, who started out doing .MOD music, and is more famous nowadays as one of the musicians at Tomb Raider developers Core Design, and as a top-class jazz-house artist. So.. go check it out if you're into that type of thing - tunes will play in WinAmp, tho it's better with an extra plug-in.
