Ninja Tune records in general is awesome. If you like Mr Scruff, you’d probably like most of the stuff on their label.
Also, Kid Koala is a turntable genius. Love that guy!

RJD2 is the shit honestly.
THANK YOU for reminding me about rjd2
I was trying to find his music the other day and I couldn’t remember. (specifically the music video for The Horror)Also Metronomy, Little Dragon and Amon Tobin. For the aging hipsters in the crowd.
Al’s I saw Kid Koala a couple times in the mid 2000s including a little bar show that was fucking amazing. We played bingo at the little show. I just found my bingo card a few days ago.
I love RJD2!
It’s like when one of your favorite tracks from an album gets used in a commercial.
It’s cool but also sucks.
Like when Plastina Mosh’s "Supercombo Electronico" got used in like a Verizon commercial.

Knowing those two, they probably love the irony of a corporation paying money to use RTJ’s anti-capitalistic, transgressive songs in an ad, let alone a brand like Cadillac.
But hey, it’s “ju$t” money

I’d like to think they are smart enough to not be happy about their transgressive ideas being recuperated.
That’s a good point. I’m familiar with the concept, but didn’t realize it had been formalized so distinctly, so I suppose you’re right.
It’s interesting, though, because one would think that’s there’s always going to be a balancing act between wanting to make your message more well known and wanting to keep it unadulterated.
That’s a DJ Shadow track featuring Run The Jewels.
For obvious reasons only the music is used.
True. Oddly enough I’ve been a DJ Shadow fan since discovering Endtroducing in the late 90s
Also RTJ’s stuff has been featured in other commercials.
You got it, Betty.

Eeeeeeevill Betty
Any brand willing to risk it for the biscuit by using Skullgrid in an advert is ok by me.
Band I love gets money, brand gets… confused public?
Microsoft blasting “Cherry Lips” was surreal.
Some stupid bastards used “Blitzkrieg Bop.”
Marketing robots must open Genius.com and search for any chorus with the word go.
… an uncomfortable number of years ago the US Marines used a Godsmack song that I was only mostly sure wasn’t “Sick Of Life.”
I always feel old when they’re playing Ramones over the loudspeakers at the grocery store.
Been there. Walking through Publix, looking at the wall of bread, surprised I like the muzak for once. “But I won’t cry for yesterday, there’s an ordinary world, somehow I have to OH NOOOO”
Wow this brings back memories, I think one of the tracks here was included with Windows 7.
Yep! That was Kalimba.
Interesting. I’ve never heard it before. It slaps though. Thanks for the link.
I prefer keep it unreal, fight me
Fish is the choice track
keep moving is 🔥 too
Isan - Lucky cat
My goto for calibrating my sound systems. First track seems like it was meant for it.
Just randomly listened to this today in a VM I installed for a game. wtf.
I turned this on and my girlfriend turned around with the most bewildered but happy look on her face 😭
Gonna say, who you calling trash
