DJ Food's "O Is For Orange" Boards of Canada mix

Chance meeting on tomorrow's harvest of a telepathic fish and an orange Scottish duo Boards of Canada have released only one album in the past 20 years, yet their sounds permeate. This incredible Audio-Visual mix from DJ Food reveals samples from Sesame Street, a BBC documentary about LSD, old school electro, and blends the singular Boards of Canada ecosystem into a masterful hour. "A version of this mix first appeared in 2013 at a night to celebrate the release of Boards of Canada’s ‘Tomorrow’s Harvest’ LP release. It then morphed into an Audio Visual DJ set that I toured around the UK in 2019, playing the Bluedot festival to a packed tent that year. The idea was to thread Boards of Canada’s music with original sample sources, tracks they’d remixed, fan remixes or songs that fitted their sonic blueprint. I recently resurrected and refined the mix for a gig booking, updating it into a new version. This happened to be a week before I was due to deliver my guest mix to Bleep and it seemed to be too good an opportunity to pass up. I abandoned the mix I was going to deliver and put down the first hour of the ‘Orange’ set including a video mix to go with it. I used stem splitting apps to deconstruct some of the tracks into unique versions before video mixing it all on turntables using Serato then editing the footage in Premiere." - DJ Food Audio (Bleep Mix #308) https://soundcloud.com/bleep_bot/bleep-mix-308-dj-food Even better to experience this with your eyes and ears! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN-1_LsxrFk&t=1s The first-ever illustrated compendium recounting the seminal underground South London ambient party that surfaced at the axis through which the likes of Ninja Tune, Warp and Rising High flowed. https://fundamentalfrequencies.bandcamp.com/album/telepathic-fish-trawling-the-early-90s-ambient-underground Boards of Canada https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boards_of_Canada (to embiggen the show icon, right-click and choose "Open image in new tab")
