Yeah I saw DJ Food at a small rekkid shop in Seattle - great cos I was
able to stand right next to the decks. PC spends more time triggering
samples on his laptop PC than on the wheels of steel - I figured that's
where he got his nickname.
Maybe Black & More give them access to their sample library, or give them
feedback or produce or something. I'm sure the whole Ninja Tune posse is
pretty tight, but my guess is that PC & Kev do most of the work.
BTW I saw Funki Porcini do a set in the same store. He'd play a cool d&b
track, then a silly rollerskating organ track, everyone would leave, he'd
play some more d&b, we'd go back in, he'd dig up another organ track,
we'd leave again, so on and so forth. It was hilarious. I asked him
about what he was playing, he said "Uh, I don't know what it's called or
who it's by - it's just some white label I like".
