    Following his well received DJ set in Metropolitian earlier this month, DJ Food returns for an unusual and unique one off performance in the Sugar Club. Elusive Recordings presents Ninja Tunes DJ Food Strictly Kev with Monkee's 'Head' (Cinetrip re-score) Thurs 01 July : The Sugar Club 8 Lower Leeson St. Dublin 2 Doors 8:00pm tickets €15 incl booking fee tickets available from City Discs, Road Records, Big Brother , Carbon Records and Spin Dizzy. Strictly Kev from Ninja Tune production outfit DJ Food will be performing a multi-layered score to the Monkees' infamous classic movie 'head'. Originally commissioned for the Cinetrip club in Budapest in 2001, this show only recently received it's first performance in the UK, March 2004 as subsequent attempts to show it at the NFT for the films' 30th anniversary ran into licencing problems. Produced & directed by Jack Nicholson and Robert Rafelson the film is a disjointed trip (literally in some places) once described as 'A Hard Days Night on Acid'. The new soundtrack capitulates on this by bouncing from psychedelia, electronica and spoken word to easy listening, krautrock and sound effects and back again. www.elusiverecordings.com

    Forget civil rights and the Vietnam war- in the late 1960's the only issue of any importance was whether the Monkee's feature-length movie Head was a cinematic masterpiece or the absolute nadir of their lightweight career. After a heated and protracted 26-year debate, the popular opinion now is that it was the former and, if proof were needed Strictly Kev from Ninja Tunes production outfit DJ Food will be turning in a live performance of a multi layered score. An astonishing 90-minute three-deck real-time rampage through 60’s psychedelia, electronica, easy listening, krautrock, spoken word, soundtracks, humour, military bands and other crazy tunes, he shows exactly how it should be done in terms of balance, timing and sheer accuracy of deck craftsmanship.
