  • Cut and paste turntablist DJ Yoda releases his debut album 'The Amazing Adventures of DJ Yoda' next month. DJ Yoda aka Duncan Beiny is one of the UK's cheekiest scratch DJs. He's best known for his 'How to Cut and Paste' mix CD series where he cuts up underground rap, soul, reggae and drum'n'bass with '80s pop, TV themes, movie moments and even nursery rhymes. Besides his scratchtastic DJing, Yoda's live shows also involve him cutting, pasting and scratching movie footage and video images in real-time. Well, he is a Jedi after all... Beiny also co-runs Antidote Records which will release his debut longplayer 'The Amazing Adventures of DJ Yoda' next month. The 24-track longplayer includes collaborations with Biz Markie, Sway, Jungle Brothers, Ugly Duckling and Princess Superstar but Beiny admits making the album was a challenge: "I totally underestimated how difficult it would be to record an album, as opposed to a mix CD! The level of intricacy involved in making the album just dwarfed anything that I'd done before on the Cut & Paste mixes, so it took ages to get every drum sounding right, every bassline sounding right etc. When I finally got it to a level I was happy with, there was then the hold-up of clearing all the samples, so it's been a slow and frustrating experience bringing this CD to the public - thankfully it's finally out now!"
