Free King Cannibal – Opening The Crypt Door
KING CANNIBAL STACKS…
Upon recently observing it was 10 years since my first ever release . I decided it was time to go back and upon up the vaults. Upon finding some mashups even i had forgotten about i thought i’d upload them to soundcloud and share. There are currently a free download link for these, but as ever these things are always limited.
The first was created around the time of Grinted Teeth & Brawlsville and is a hidden track on that CD, from back around 2005.
The Second is from slightly later yet carrying on the vibe of southern hospitality. Master P Vs Funkarma.

KING CANNIBAL POSTS…
Don’t forget kids… My ‘All Of The Colours Of The Night’ EP is now out digitally. Vinyl should be hitting shelves very very shortly.
King Cannibal – All The Colours Of The Night EP
KING CANNIBAL SAYS…
If you head over to Ad Noiseam you can preview and pre-order tracks from my forthcoming E.P – Al The Colours Of The Night.
Get your business face on with a slice of the official info below – more of which can be found at http://www.adnoiseam.net/adn140. The Machine Code remix of Dirt (Mary Anne Hobb’s set opener for her recent U.S tour, Sonar & Boiler Room shows) is the first part of a remix swap between Dead Rodell, Current Value & Myself, the second part being my remix of User Error which is featured on CD2 of the Machine Code album.
“The night has roared, and now has many colours and shades on King Cannibal’s most varied record to date. From this established producer’s insidious remix of Bong-Ra’s “Come Out To Play” or Machine Code’s anthemic and furious version of “Dirt” to the more laid back and melodic remixes by Krumble and Dead Fader, this EP is an accurate snapshot of what King Cannibal is about: not only can he pack a dancefloor, but he also delivers gentle tunes or impressive beatwork. King Cannibal has a posse, an untamed, diverse one.(get this on 12″ / as digital files)”
Ghetto know
KING CANNIBAL SAYS…
Get to know Ghettozoid, producer of my favourite 140 track at the moment ‘Boy Toy’ out on One4Ho which she co-runs with Mai Harper. A wet dream of rhythm that effortlessly injects an overbearing, moody tension (taking it’s cue from Dj Funk via Miss Kittin & Chicks On Speed ) into a dubstep framework. It’s about time we had something to counter the amount of ‘brostep’ that the dubstep scene has been drowning in recently. Hopefully we will be seeing a lot more of Ghettozoid around these parts including some work from her on the next King Cannibal album.

King Cannibal – Aragami Style… The Teknoist Remix
Ad Noiseam, I hope you are used to that label name as it will be getting used around here a fair bit in the near future.
Miike Teknoist contacted me last year about putting together a remix of Aragami Style, i think originally planned as part of a mix cd. I’m happy to say the release has found a home in the form of The Teknoist’s new album ‘Trainwreck Magnetism‘ which is available on Ad Noiseam. A tightly clenched fist of an album containing original solo tracks and remixes. Mu-Ziq, Drumcorps Hecq & Exillion also get the Trainwreck treatment. As said on the press release “The Teknoist drives one of his main points home again: however hard his music might be, it’s a world apart from just throwing fast beats around, but requires a lot of open mindedness and care. “
Available on both CD and digital download NOW
“The Teknoist is back, and he has a posse. “Trainwreck Magnetism” not only gathers the newest composition by one of the rare musicians who can combine the words “breakcore” and “pristine”, but also his remixes for high profile friends such as Drumcorps, King Cannibal, Hecq and others. It’s hard (very), sometimes dark, often angry, but also particularly varied. A highly rewarding album which satisfy both the urge to thrash around and the need for carefully crafted music, The Teknoist’s new full-length is another crown for this pillar of the breakcore and hardcore sounds.”
King Cannibal appearance at De Spot, Middelburg cancelled.
KING CANNIBAL SAYS…
It’s with sad news that i have to announce that my appearance at De Spot, Middelburg this Friday (15th of April) has been cancelled. From my understanding the show will still go ahead with Knalpot (but best to check http://www.despotmiddelburg.nl/Web/Programma/bekijk/Knalpot-King-Cannibal for details) and we will try and rearrange the show for the near future. I never take cancelling an appearance lightly as i appreciate every gig i’m offered and a lot of work goes in both from the promoters and the booking agents. I also would never want to toy with the feelings of anyone who bought a ticket to a show. If you follow me on twitter you may well have noticed some upset messages from me of late. The health of an immediate family member has been deteriorating and the emergency surgery has to be performed. Needless to say my place is here, at home for this event.
King Cannibal at Bar MC2, Grenoble
KING CANNIBAL SAYS…
This Saturday i return to Bar MC2 in Grenoble, Particularly looking forward to delivering a killer set their as i met some particularly nice people there last time i played. If the flyer here is black and grey rather than the black and red as it should be please click on it – i’m not sure why it is showing up incorrectly.

Video Horror Show
KING CANNIBAL SHARES…
Whilst browsing Diabolikdvd i stumbled across a strange looking VHS titled Video Horror Show Vol.2, a product boasting to be a 15 min witch house track created as an original score for this haunted tape, on blue vhs no less. What can i say, i was drawn to digging out more.
http://videohorrorshow.com/ are behind these superb limited tapes, Each seeming to be different exercises of cutting up all kinds of visual dark matter and pairing the footage which a variety of aural sludge (and i say that in total compliment) focussing on an act per tape. Think of them as in home installations, designed to make your TV twist and moan like it was in Videodrome. These make great companions with last year’s Jigoku by Lovely Jon and The Cherrystones, more focussed on italian bloodlust, goats and Barbara Bouchet than the Clouzot kinetic art and vintage region 3 of Jigoku.
This speaks to us here at Godsofwar on all levels so we URGE to investigate and CONSUME. They have a membership option allowing a year’s subscription over on their site http://videohorrorshow.com , or you can still pick up The Five Wounds
Amon Tobin – The Lighthouse King Cannibal remix.
KING CANNIBAL DOESN’T EXPLAIN…
This doesn’t really need words. Just a link from where to buy the album.
Bludcot Chartattack
Here is a chart i put together for Mixmag a few weeks ago, it slipped my mind to mention it previously. By way of recompense i have given myself 3 Hail Marys and 5 Halie Selassies.
Amon Tobin – Chaos Theory Remix : Splinter Cell 3D
KING CANNIBAL SAYS…
If you head over to Ninja Tune’s Ninjashop you can hear samples from Amon Tobin’s forthcoming ‘Chaos Theory Remix’ album. I was honoured to be asked to be part of the project and for these to be the third and forth remixes i’ve completed of Amon’s works. Other remixes come from Kid Koala, Lorn, Eskmo, the Qemists and the man himself. Come take a listen. I’ve you’ve been to any King Cannibal show in the last 5 months you’ll know doubt have heard my remix of The Lighthouse already, when i’ve a fully developed av show i look forward to playing Theme From Battery,
Free Download : Ninja Tune XX Edits
After the release of the Way Of The Ninja mix late last year i was asked to put together some extended standalone edits of a couple highlights to send out to radio. Too good to waste the lovely people at Big Up Magazine (hey what happened to that really long interview i did when i was in SF about this time last year? ) are offering downloads of the two tracks below.

Smut & Bass interview, Ninja XX documentary and being a loser.
KING CANNIBAL SAYS…
So the end of 2010 is near and the blogs are full of round-ups and best of lists whilst the record shops take a breather from new releases. Last weekend saw my final two gigs of the year, at the Ninja XX after party at Concord 2 in Brighton and The Way Of The Ninja album launch at the Rhythm Factory in East London. Thanks to everyone who came out for the shows, extra thanks to those who mobbed out the launch making it strictly one in one out on the door and going nothing short of buckwild on the dancefloor.
Wednesday night saw me attending my first ever album launch as The Way Of The Ninja was up for DJ Mag’s Best Of British 2010 : best compilation award. I had stiff competition up against big names like Scuba and dBridge & instra:mental (who have been particularly influential to me this year) and wasn’t surprised to miss out to Autonomic Fabric 50. Congratulations guys. Also congratulations to Bonobo who won for Best Album and Ninja Tune for Best Label (so i guess i had a default win of sorts).
Before i head off to New Zealand tomorrow for a break over the christmas & new year period (i’ve got a large number of press interviews lines up for my stay, so if your in that part of the world stay tuned to your local favourite stations) i completed an interview for Miami crew Smut & Bass. Its fairly long and spills the beans a bit on how my second album is taking shape and what sounds you can expect as well as the thought process on my Blackout track and general production talk. You can check the piece out HERE.
NTSH London have put together a 15 minute documentary and behind the scenes piece on Ninja’s big XX show at Ewer Street earlier in the year. Its the best little doc i’ve seen on the label tied in to the 20th birthday – and i’m not just saying that as i feature quite heavily. honest.
With that being all things 2010 you can get a glimpse of 2011 with my remix of Memory9′s new single feat Juakali (whom i have also recently collaborated with) on Data Transmissions 2010 round up mix (podcast 075) which you can check out HERE or on soundcloud below. Whilst my material in the past has been very focussed on deep round low end and sharp high frequencies i decided to experiment with a ‘flatter’ sound for this, typical in more modern productions.
Remixes update… Scorn and Robot Koch
KING CANNIBAL SAYS..
A little update on other releases aside of The Way Of The Ninja.

King Cannibal’s Long Dark Tunnel Tunes (Beatport chart)
KING CANNIBAL SAYS…
Little under a month ago i put together a playlist for Beatport, what with promo duty for The Way Of The Ninja (Remember to vote kids!) and then falling ill and temporarily loosing the hearing in my left ear, it slipped my mind. Better late than never though – you can check the chart here.

Alright! The New Ninja Website Is Here!
KING CANNIBAL SAYS…
Well okay, not HERE but… here
For a label heading in to its early twenties i guess a new look is in order, and the store – buying, listening and browsing is much improved. The artists page’s have also had a big reworking, now being a better overview of what exactly is going on in terms of gigs, releases and news.

On 11th December, the Rhythm Factory in East London will host the official UK launch, with a hand-picked line-up courtesy of the man himself. Joining King Cannibal will be jazz, electronica, hip hop and drum ‘n’ bass force of nature DJ Food, underground hip hop figure Buddy Peace (fresh from mixes for Warp Records and collaborations with ZILLA (aka King Cannibal) and Brixton producer Photomachine.

One for the Photek fans
KING CANNIBAL SAYS…
Whilst this isn’t the first time i’ve heard this audio, it certainly is the cleanest version i’ve heard. As much as i hate to send people over to The Sun’s website this is worth a listen…
and let us not forget the classic it was transformed in to.
I’m excited to read that Photek has a new album on the way too, big inspiration over the years – even the way he makes what he seems to want to make and release, as annoyed as this may make people.
The Way Of The Ninja poster by Openmind
KING CANNIBAL SAYS…
I’m both happy & excited to present this preview of Openmind’s (Strictly Kev) poster to accompany The Way Of The Ninja mix CD. Pre-Order the CD from the ninjashop to receive a free poster with each order.
Also if you head over to The Way Of The Ninja mini-site you can sign up to my mailing list and get a free download for the mini-mix ‘The 5 Minute Warning – A Ninja Tune Mix‘. This is the project that inspired TWOTN both as research wading through the audio archive for myself and the driving force for Ninja to ask for more.
