Welcome to the all-new mix series from KidVector.

I’ve wanted to get something like this going for a long time now and I’m glad to finally be able to share with you the first instalment in what will hopefully be a long running mix series.

Our first trip to Infinity City since the 2008 finds our favorite future mega-tropolis in an introspective mood. We have a couple of remixes from the phenomenally talented Banks (expect big things in 2013), some classic tracks from MJ Cole, Magnetic Man and Scuba as well as a spotlight on some recent highlights from…

his week's Ninja Tune giveaway is undoubtedly the ultimate, in both senses of the word. It's one of the very few, truly iconic pieces of dance music, of the type that people still refer to in feverish tones. Despite being only five years younger than Ninja itself, it's an hour of music that sounds every bit as thrilling as it did on its original release. In an age where eclecticism in DJing is once again in vogue, we'd like to respectfully make the point that Coldcut had the idea first.

Welcome then, to Journeys By DJ. The original, the best,…

This week's penultimate Ninja Tune XX giveaway comes from one of Ninja Tune's legends, and an artist making the best work of his career. Bonobo released his finest album to date, 'Black Sands' earlier this year. Infused with the confidence that comes from years of an artist honing his craft, it was infectious, ambitious, and packed a huge emotional punch.

'Ghost Ship' is a brand new, all exclusive song, and is every bit as worthy of those terms. Displaying his trademark richness of composition, addictive drums, rolling sub-bass and melancholic synths and strings build to a soaring climax. It's magnificent,…

Amon Tobin is a long standing Ninja Tune artist with an unbelievable creative output over the course of 15+ years, and whose imprint on electronic music is everywhere. His work has influenced a range of genres almost as diverse as his own influences, and as a result has become one of Ninja Tune's most influential and consistent artists.

This week's giveaway comes in the form of a premier of one of the most exciting videos on Ninja Tune to date. Up-and-coming Belgian director Charles De Meyer (aka Chuck Eklectric) first met Amon Tobin in 2007, just after the release of…

This week's tracks come from one of the most important acts on Ninja Tune - the peerless Cinematic Orchestra. We are giving away two, previously unheard tracks recorded in 2002 for a proposed Cinematic Orchestra radio show that was never broadcast.

'Time & Space (Radio Session 13th May 2002)' - a radically different early version of the epic tune on Ma Fleur featuring Leonard Nimoy samples.

'Brother/The Revolution (Radio Session 13th May 2002)' - a tune built around samples from the classic Gil Scott Heron track.

The Cinematic Orchestra have re-worked Lou Rhodes' 'One Good Thing' for the XX releases,…

Gloriously downbeat, textural and atmospheric, Kid Koala's lovingly crafted Solid Steel mix could never be released due to licensing issues. We've always thought that a great shame, and as such we're very pleased to offer it as this week's Ninja Tune XX giveaway… Enjoy.

Kid Koala will be playing the Ninja Tune XX live shows in Paris, Brussels, London, New York and LA, and has a brand new track as part of the XX releases.

This week's Ninja Tune XX giveaway comes from one of the key artists of Ninja's recent history, and of electronic music as a whole. Kevin Martin has been making and performing music for a long time, and under various guises. Having released feverishly acclaimed albums through Aphex Twin's Rephlex imprint in the past, Ninja signed The Bug in 2007, to much excitement within the label. His debut Ninja full length, London Zoo, was everything we'd hoped it would be. Chiming with the formative dubstep movement that Martin had himself influenced, it drew together his mastery of electronica, dancehall and dub…

This week's Ninja Tune XX giveaway is a truly special, brand new creation from one of Big Dada's all time greats, Roots Manuva. Arguably the greatest hip-hop artist Britain has ever produced, Rodney Smith's strengths have always been his fearless individualism and astounding artistry. As one of several parts of his involvement with Ninja Tune's 20th anniversary, he recently crafted a dub of The Herbaliser's 'Something Wicked This Way Comes,' which, we think, is astonishingly good. Featuring infectious, eerie sonics, Manuva's inimitable swing and new, ruminative verses from the man himself, it's everything great about Roots boiled down to one…

This week's giveaway comes courtesy of hotly tipped new Ninja signing: Andreya Triana.

First recognized for her vocal talents on Flying Lotus' 'Tea Leaf Dancers', Andreya Triana has also worked with Mr. Scruff, Theo Parrish, Mala and more recently Bonobo, whose critically acclaimed LP 'Black Sands' featured her on three tracks. She has spent the summer touring with Bonobo throughout the UK, Europe and North America, culminating in an unforgettable headline performance at the Roundhouse in London.

August 2010 will see the release of her debut solo album 'Lost Where I Belong', produced by Bonobo, which is already receiving widespread…

This week's Ninja Tune XX giveaway comes courtesy of a true Ninja legend, and one of our most charismatic, multi-faceted artists. Mr Scruff released his first record on Ninja Tune way back in 1998, going on to create one of the label's all time most successful albums - 'Keep It Unreal' - the following year. He'd been making music and mixing records for years previously however, as demonstrated by side one of this ultra-rare mixtape from 1992. Originally limited to a mere 20 copies, and sold in Manchester's Funky Banana record shop, it hasn't been available anywhere since. Unless you're…
