DJ Yoda is a multi-award-winning hip-hop DJ and producer, headlining festivals and clubs around the world. He collaborates with anyone from classical composers to neuroscientists; brass bands to film directors; Dr Dre to Dame Evelyn Glennie; Banksy to Mark Ronson; BBC Radio 4. He was Dr Dre’s first choice to record a guest mix on his inaugural Beats 1 show for Apple Music in 2015, and was one of a select band of artists to perform at Banksy’s pop-up Bemusement Park, Dismaland.
His eclectic series of How to Cut & Paste mixtapes offer a uniquely British take on hip-hop music and culture. DJ Yoda pioneered a new form of audio-visual entertainment, unifying hands-in-the-air clubbing with a night at the movies, chopping and splicing classic movies with the same exceptional style that he repurposes music samples. One of the first DJs to master the art of re-scoring classic films, in 2014 he was commissioned to create DJ Yoda Goes to the Sci-Fi Movies as part of the BFI’s Sonic Cinema event. BBC Radio 6 Music gave him the platform to make history with the world’s first audio-visual radio mix.
DJ Yoda’s experimental audio-visual ventures have more recently brought him into the world of fulldome, where he developed shows for the dome format. Working with CultVR, and mixing audio and visuals live inside specially created immersive environments, he has so far brought both a general AV show and his 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop show into the dome.
