Delighted and honoured to be joined by Jonathan Moore on the podcast today. 
Jonathan is one-half of hugely influential electronic act, Coldcut, which he formed back in 1986 with Matt Black.
Coldcut are often refereed to as pioneers of pop sampling in the 1980s

We also discuss Ninja Tune, the label that he and Matt started in 1990. The label’s first release was the first five volumes of DJ Food's Jazz Brakes. Since then Ninja Tune has gone on to release albums by The Cinematic Orchestra, Bonobo, Kelis, Amon Tobin, Black Country New Road and the amazing BICEP
