DJ Yoda has been pushing the boundaries of traditional DJ-ing since his first ‘How to Cut & Paste’ compilation a few years ago. That series saw him splicing samples and tracks at a ferocious rate to create high octane and often funny mixtapes, the latest of which, the ‘Country & Western Edition', features the likes of Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers … over breakbeats.
Yoda also pioneered his own style of VJ-ing, which sees him scratching and cutting up DVDs in much the same way he would a record in a DJ battle. Looks a lot better than it sounds in type, trust us. Just imagine a 24 foot screen with clips of The Muppets, Full Metal Jacket and Michael Jackson videos being scratched in time to a killer soundtrack.

The night is hosted by local hero Kormac whose own show is quite the spectacle too, check out his recent Bodytonic podcast for a taster, it features some of his work recorded with full band. It’s 30s and forties swing influenced dance music for the 21st century. Sounds weird but it really works.
