The Ninja Tune Ninjas have been putting out some of the best tracks on the plant for years, but this month marks the first time they do a retrospective/hits type compilation. This is great stuff because the output from Ninja has been so high that some gems get slept on… well no more.
Preview the album PLUS get new tracks with the USOUNDS Ninja Tune Ninja Tune Greatest Hits Download MegaBlowout.
Audio streams & mp3 downloads
Blockhead ‘Carnivores Unite’
Taken from Blockhead’s debut album ‘Music By Cavelight’. Aesop Rock’s
former producer stuns us with his beautiful instrumental hip hop.
cLOUDDEAD ‘The Velvet Ant’
Big Dada gives us an exclusive from cLOUDDEAD’s second album ‘Ten’. Expect
razor-sharp vocal interplay, quirky found sound samples, and a fair share
of nosdam’s growl-slow drums!
DJ Food ‘Dark Lady’
Bassline appropriated by Bomb The Bass for their Bug Powder Dust track –
check the sleeve credits for a DJ Food thanks. A track that will forever
now be associated with smashing the back board of the basket in NBA Street.
Ironically not a good Basketball player to be found in the Ninja camp.
‘Atomic Moog’ by Coldcut (Cornelius Mix)
A true classic done as a swap mix with the Japanese don.
