Over three days he cut up and reassembled the bed tracks for ‘12 Bit Blues’. No sequencing software was used. Using the pads on the machine and a multitrack, Eric played each part of the tracks in real time, before finally returning and adding cuts over the top. The result is a really raw, immediate and strangely beautiful album, much like the music it draws on for its inspiration. In attempting to outplay and out-think the technology he is working with, he revives the unworldly oddness of blues music before it became a staple of beer adverts and the jam-fantasies of middle aged marketing executives. This is the music, ripped and scratched and distressed until all those souls sold down the crossroads rise up and send shivers down your spine. The first run of both formats of this album will come with a flexidisc, a cardboard hand powered turntable kit and a 24 page illustrated booklet. Kid Koala is a world-renowned scratch DJ who has made a name for himself not only with his music, but also with his visual art. Kid Koala is touring the album with a very special Kid Koala Vinyl Vaudeville show with dancing girls, giant turntables, robots, drinks, puppets and parlour games. Kid Koala has toured extensively in North America and Europe with the likes of Radiohead, Beastie Boys, Money Mark, John Medeski, A Tribe Called Quest, Mike Patton, Jack Johnson, DJ Shadow, The Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Bjork.
