DJs Jonathan More and Matt Black, aka Coldcut, rose to
acclaim in the mid-'80s through production and remix work
for a number of modern rock, hip-hop, and dance outfits,
including Yaz, Lisa Stansfield, Junior Reid, Blondie, Eric
B. & Rakim, and Queen Latifah. While that connection has
pegged them as a product of the U.K. acid house and rave
scenes, the pair's larger commitment has been to urban
breakbeat styles such as hip-hop, ambient dub, and jungle;
the three of which have constituted the bulk of their
recorded output since their first mid-'80s white-label EP,
Hey Kids, What Time Is It? Comprising project titles like
Hedfunk, Hex, DJ Food, and Coldcut, More and Black have
assembled an empire of U.K. breakbeat and experimental
hip-hop through their Ninja Tune/Ntone labels and been a
unifying force in underground experimental electronic
music through their eclectic radio show, Solid Steel, and
club and tour dates.
More and Black got their start, not surprisingly, as radio
DJs, working at the pirate station Network 21 during the
first half of the '80s, and latching onto the snowballing
club scene mid- to late-decade. Their claim to early fame,
Hey Kids, What Time Is It?, was modeled on the
cut'n'scratch turntable aesthetic of underground deck
heroes like Grandmaster Flash and Double D & Steinski.
Widely regarded as the U.K.'s first breaks record and an
influential force in bringing identity to London's nascent
club culture, the record ù released as a U.S. import
billed to DJ Coldcut to avoid sample litigation ù opened
as many doors for More and Black as it did for DJs,
bringing scads of production and remix work their way. The
attention (and sales royalties) also allowed them to
launch their Ninja Tune and Ntone labels, which together
have been home to some of the most acclaimed and
influential artists of London's post-rave underground
scene, including DJ Food, Drome, Journeyman, 9 Lazy 9, Up,
Bustle & Out, and the Herbaliser.
Although Coldcut was their earliest nom de plume,
following a befuddled contract with Arista, the name
remained in legal channels for the following few years.
The intervening period found the pair no less active,
releasing a flood of material under different names and
continuing to work with young groups. The Coldcut name
returned to More and Black in 1995, and the pair
celebrated with a mix CD as part of the Journeys by DJ
series dubbed 70 Minutes of Madness. The release was
credited with bringing to wider attention the sort of
freestyle mixing the pair were always known for through
their radio show on KISS FM, Solid Steel, and their steady
club dates, a style that has since taken off through clubs
like Blech and the Heavenly Sunday Social. In 1997,
Coldcut finally released another full-length, Let Us Play!
Two years later, the pair followed up with the remix album
Let Us Replay! Numerous mix CDs appeared before they
returned in 2006 with the new album Sound Mirrors, a slick
album that recalled their debut.
