DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist are bringing their vinyl-only Renegades of Rhythm tour to the UK in February 2015 after covering North America this past Autumn.
These two world-renowned artists and turntablists are spinning the well-loved and well-worn vinyl from the record collection of the founding father of hip-hop and “Master of Records,” Afrika Bambaataa.
Shadow and Cut kicked off their North American tour this year with two sold-out shows at NYC’s Irving Plaza where Bambaataa himself watched from the balcony as the duo pulled his vinyl collection apart and mixed a nostalgic set that chronicled and honoured the genre that influenced so many others.
Check out Rolling Stone’s live review here. Read NPR’s Rational Conversation with DJ Shadow here. Check out the record rundown with Wax Poetics here. And read the in-depth interview sit-down that OkayPlayer did with Shadow, Cut and Bambaataa here.
Excited to bring the show to the UK next year, they will play three exclusive dates at Manchester Albert Hall, London Forum and Bristol Motion in February 2015.

Cult Mountain are a UK collective of rappers Milkavelli, Lee Scott, Trellion and dope producer Sumgii. The four of them combine to bring us 5 tracks of cloud based, Valium induced coma music! This is music to get waved to and go on a journey through the soundscape created by Sumgii accompanied by the lyrical content from the three emcees involved. I can see this sick 5 track joint getting heavy rotation at after parties.
The Cult Mountain project is available on cassette, vinyl and Digital below.
