A common question and one that confuses quite a number of people, but with good reason.

DJ Food is Strictly Kev, one of the most versatile and skilled DJ's around. This man truly knows the meaning of the word eclectic and can mix genres and styles together effortlessly into a blend that is uniquely his.

Strictly Kev the stalwart Ninja who stepped out of the shadows after years of steady DJing with Coldcut on numerous club gigs and their weekly radio show 'Solid Steel!' Kev met Matt Black at the 'Telepathic Fish' ambient parties of the early 90's, started designing artwork for Ninja Tune and paired up with PC to form the public 'face' of DJ Food on 4 decks in clubs around the world. After working on various Food and Coldcut related studio projects with PC (Recipe for Disaster, Journeys by DJ, ColdKrushCuts and the Blech mix compilations for Warp) he is preparing the next course...

Now working on the next DJ Food album himself, expect more of the same from the man who penned tracks like “Nevermore” and “The Riff”, among others, from the last album ‘Kaleidescope’, and is responsible for the incredible “Raiding the 20th Century – A History of the Cut-Up” mix (so popular it crashed boom selection’s server when posted on the premier bootleg site).

Strictly Kev performs a multi-layered score to the Monkees movie Head,

Strictly Kev from Ninja Tune production outfit DJ Food will be
performing a multi-layered score to the Monkees' infamous classic
movie 'head'. An astonishing 90-minute three-deck real-time rampage through 60’s psychedelia, soundtracks, humour, military bands and other crazy tunes, he shows exactly how it should be done in terms of balance, timing and sheer accuracy of deck craftsmanship.
 
My thoughts exactly. I've seen a number of people attempt the re-soundtrack thing, but Food's is the best execution of the idea I've experienced. Year's of crate digging for strange and wonderful records, very appropriate choices and impecible timing. The movie is out there to begin with but Kev takes it to a new level of surrealism.
