I've got a meeting with our booking agent tomorrow at which time I'll post all the dates and venues. Tour stops are...Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, L.A, and possibly Los Vegas. Lineup for each show is Coldcut/Hex (Live), DJ Food (4 Deck DJing), and Kid Koala. Coldcut's live set just kept getting more awesome each night of the east coast tour. By the time we do these shows it's definitly going to be even better. Basically there set consists of Jon and Matt remixing the new record. Half is mixed off there computers (utilizing 'Playtime' the software we are giving away with the 'Let Us Play' CD) while most of the vocals are scratched in off of vinyl plates that we cut. It's a vey different set each night depending on how funky the computers are feeling. We set 2 big screens up on each side of the stage on which Hex project there visuals. During Coldcut's set there visuals also supply some of the samples that you hear in the audio mix (ie. bombs exploding in 'Atomic Moog 2000', protestors yelling in 'Panopticon'). At the last show on this last tour (in Montreal) there was a wicked bit where Hex looped the 'King of the Swingers' part from the Jungle Book on the screens and in the audio while Coldcut played a Peter Thomas (the really funky bit from 'Chariots of the Gods') loop and Kid Koala, P.C, and Strictly Kev all scratched over top of it. To answer the biggest question we have been getting. Coldcut's set is completly live and improvised each night expect for 'Natural Rhythm' and 'Timber'. At that point Coldcut sit back while Hex screen the videos. It's just as much a Hex show as a Coldcut show. Take Care Ninjas

I just found out that Kid Koala is spinning here in Calgary tomorrow night at the Night Gallery. Any chance of any of the other Ninjas showing up? --- Brent Sawatzky bsawatzky@radss.com RADSS Technologies, Inc.
