Birdy Nam Nam 'Uncivilized World'
Birdy Nam Nam (the name's an obscure reference from a Peter Sellers film) is a DMC World Championship scratch team... from France. And while they obviously have the chops to be able to attain that level of turntablist success, they're more about making "songs" and "music" as opposed to cutting together repetitive loops and gimmicky licks. They've clearly got a good sense of humor to match their deep musical knowledge, genre dexterity and assumedly vast record collection! Much in a similar style to Kid Koala, they piece together a patchwork of source material that runs from jazz to soul to any-and-everything. Through expert vinyl manipulation they forge seamless creations with a sophistication on par with kindred spirits DJ Shadow, DJ Food and the likes.
