An hours tribute for the most eclectic, brilliant and innovative label from the UK...
The label was one of the first record labels in Britain to consistently embrace and release artists that create and perform new forms of electronic dance music since the 1990. Originally focusing on sampling, triphop and jazz trends of the time..
Matt Black & and Johnathan More (Coldcut) primarily created Ninja Tune in 1990 to act as a vehicle by which they could release music of a more underground nature, free from the restraints placed on artists by major labels.
Since then they have embraced all types of underground culture and dance music but from more of an outsiders view. There were no rules apart from the music should either have lots of heart or it would make people dance their asses off..That was all it was asking. Their roster is incredibly impressive introducing acts such as Mr Scruff, Coldcut, Roots Manuva, Toddla T, Daedelus, Herbaliser, Bonobo and the Cinematic Orchestra. All have gone on the bigger and better things whilst keeping that heart and soul that you can associate with Ninja.
Hope you enjoy.
