What is Ninja Tune?
Founded in London in 1990 by Coldcut (Matt Black & Jonathon More), Ninja Tune emerged from the pioneers of the eighties hip-hop and electro scene. Initially conceived to release more underground and experimental music, free from major label constraints, the label quickly garnered critical acclaim. Early releases like DJ Food's 'Jazz Brakes' became influential classics in the burgeoning electronic music landscape. Ninja Tune is recognized for its eclectic roster, featuring artists such as Amon Tobin and Mr Scruff, and its commitment to artistic integrity. In 1997, the hip-hop imprint Big Dada was established, releasing seminal works by artists including Diplo and Roots Manuva. With satellite offices in Los Angeles and Montreal, Ninja Tune continues to champion quality music production and artist support.
