Coldcut set to mix up a storm at Cargo
(June 19)

Story: Jack Foley

XFM'S resident remixers, Eddy Temple-Morris and James Hyman,
always guarantee a great night out whenever they get behind the
decks in London's club scene, but this month's Remix extravaganza
promises to be something truly special.

Joined the duo at Cargo on Thursday, June 19, will be the
godfathers of the remix scene, and ground-breakers spectacular,
Coldcut, with a DJ set from the wonderfully scandalous
Fun-Da-Mental.

Ever since 1987, and their amazing debut single, Say Kids,
What time is it? - the first sample-built record in the UK -
Coldcut have continued to blur and challenge the rules of
entertainment by constantly ignoring boundaries and restlessly
trying new techniques.

Ex-art teacher, Jonathan Moore, and computer programmer, Matt
Black, have been a team since the mid-Eighties.

They first teamed up on then pirate Kiss, and started their
'Solid Steel' show.

In 1987, Coldcut defined the term 'Remix' on Eric B and Rakim's
'Paid In Full', cutting and pasting Israeli singer, Ofra
Haza's, vocals in a notorious reworking which became a world-wide
classic.

In a crucial period that has seen hip-hop, house, techno and
jungle cross over to the mainstream, Coldcut are still showing the
way.

For over a decade Fun-Da-Mental have 'torn, shredded and stomped
on the rulebook'.

Their intense musical-mishmash has absorbed inspiration and
sounds from all cultures and continents and forced them to work
together.

Top that off with an unshakable attitude to global politics and
you've got Fun-Da-Mental, Original 'Remix' alumni and creators of
one of the most memorable 'Superchunk's' (guest mixes on Xfm's The
Remix).

Entrance costs just £6 before 9pm, and £8 thereafter, but you
won't want to get there late!

Advance tickets can be ordered via the Xfm Xchange on 0870 121
1049 - to avoid any disappointment.

Highlights from the Remix Night will be broadcast on The Remix on
June 22.

But fans can catch The Remix, every Sunday, from 7pm to 10pm on
Xfm, 104.9FM in London, Sky Digital Channel 864, NTL channel
891.

Cargo is located at 83 Rivington Street, Shoreditch, EC2. Tel:
020 7613 7731.
