Incredible turntable colossus and all round audio-visual genius DJ Yoda is busting out of the studio and heading back onto the road this October with his latest breathtaking spectacular, DJ Yoda’s National Video Vacation.

Twisting the visual and manipulating the musical into a 90-minute non-stop blast of astounding good time spontaneity, DJ Yoda, AKA Duncan Beiny, follows up last year’s acclaimed Magic Cinema Show with a 100% brand new selection of magnificent manoeuvres that will see him shaking you to the core with unbelievable optical chicanery and deck wizardry. Armed to the teeth with his trusty Pioneer SVM1000, some choice cutting edge beats and the rarest footage harvested from the deepest depths of YouTube all augmented with his own extensive archives, Yoda has taken his unique abilities to the next level, slipping underground grooves next to Sesame Street rave and mixing up Alan Sugar with electro, hip-hop and dubstep beats and always rocking the floor.

With his How to Cut & Paste Country & Western Edition leading a Country revival, DJ Yoda has already got the series’ next groundbreaking instalment in the bag and is working on his latest artist album that will feature some high profile collaborations. Until they see the light of day, be sure to catch DJ Yoda’s National Video Vacation.

It's been a long time since the last "How To Cut & Paste" mix - in fact "The 80's Edition" was released back in 2003. In the last six years, DJ Yoda has been busy with AV shows, classical concertos, Fabric Live mix CDs and swapping record labels - but now, finally, he's returned to the mix series that most people know him for. Now "How To Cut & Paste: The Country & Western Edition" is dropping - and there's a 1930's mix to look forward to later in the summer! Keep your eyes peeled...

Devilish deck doyen DJ Yoda returns to the fray with the latest in his acclaimed Cut & Paste adventures.  Following on from the 80s edition, which saw him giving that most colourful of decades a boot into the future, the latest instalment of this legendary series covers the gamut of countrified cuts.

Distilling the most potent musical moonshine, Yoda blows the barn doors off with his deft trickery taking you on a wild hayride into the heart of both types of music; Country AND Western and their stylistic dalliances with Hip-Hop. From John Denver’s supercharged ‘Thank God I’m A Country Boy’ slipping into Dolly Parton’s ‘9 to 5’ DJ Yoda mixes up beats, banjos and Johnny Cash in what is his most startling mix yet.

The mix is available to buy now - check out the store.
 

Keep an eye on the Tour Dates section of the new website as Yoda's summer performances get confirmed, but in the meantime we can reveal that there will be a number of very special exclusive performances happening over the next few months. At the moment, if you're planning on going to Glastonbury, Bestival, Rockness or Camp Bestival then you're in luck!

Sparkle Motion are UK club AV pioneer DJ Yoda and 80s R&B connoisseur/ spinemagazine.com music editor TOBES.

For their first mix, "Flight School Vol. 1", they got together and plucked out a selection of their favourite 80s R&B breaks - no vocals, just an hour of raw 80s beats for the jacuzzi, the private jet, or the boom boom room.

Over 10,000 downloads later they return with "New Jack City Vol. 1" - taking things forward a few years to the days of hi-top fades, parachute pants and doing "the running man".

Think Bobby Brown cruising for chicks in a 1989 Testarossa, and Mike Tyson riding shotgun with a white baby tiger on his lap.
 
Both mixes are widely available over the net, if you put your Google hat on.

Responsible for spreading his name across the globe, DJ Yoda’s ‘How To Cut & Paste’ mixes have become the stuff of legend.  Injecting a necessary dose of humour into the UK’s Hip-Hop scene without ever taking his eye off the dancefloor, DJ Yoda AKA Duncan Beiny’s unique ability to mix and scratch theme tunes, adverts and comedy skits with some of the rawest beats around, gaining both commercial and critical success, is without equal.

Following hot on the heels of his barnstorming ‘Country & Western Edition’, the fifth instalment in the series delves deep into the past, to the advent of Swing for ‘The Thirties Edition’.  The decade that gave the world the first LP, the first ‘All-Talking All-Colour’ wide-screen movie and the Zoot suit, the 1930s was a hotbed of musical creativity that DJ Yoda has mined with his trademark ear for a funky beat turning up some surprising musical treats.

AVALIABLE IN ALL GOOD RECORD STORES AND ONLINE FROM 25TH AUGUST...
 

Yoda has two mixes featured in this years must have - DJ Hero. You can expect a Jackson 5 vs Gang Starr mash-up, and a blend of Shlomo's beat-boxing with Little Richard's 50s rock 'n' roll! The game is out in October, more info here
