DJ Yoda ‘The History of Hip Hop’ – AV set
The legendary DJ Yoda is heading to the venue in 2026, with his ‘History Of Hip Hop audio-visual
show! This is no ordinary club night, as Yoda gives a visual representation of the music and culture
on huge screens, alongside some of the greatest Hip Hop tracks ever made.
DJ Yoda is a multi-award-winning hip-hop DJ and producer, headlining festivals and clubs around the
world. No typical club DJ, his interests lie in finding fresh and unique ways to bring turntables out of
the club and getting involved in bespoke collaborations. Working with classical composers to
neuroscientists; brass bands to film directors; Dr Dre to Dame Evelyn Glennie; Banksy to Mark
Ronson; BBC Radio 4 to the BFI, he reinvigorates his craft with wry invention and humorous intent.
Internationally respected for his turntablism, the viral success of his Stranger Things Mix racked up
more than a half million plays on Soundcloud, culminating in his UK Tour of Stranger Things The
Mixtape Live. He was Dr Dre’s first choice to record a guest mix on his inaugural Beats 1 show for
Apple Music in 2015, and was one of a select band of artists to perform at Banksy’s pop-up
Bemusement Park, Dismaland. His eclectic series of How to Cut & Paste mixtapes offer a uniquely
British take on hip-hop music and culture.
DJ Yoda pioneered a new form of audio-visual entertainment, unifying hands-in-the-air clubbing with
a night at the movies, chopping and splicing classic movies with the same exceptional style that he
repurposes music samples. One of the first DJs to master the art of re-scoring classic films, in 2014
he was commissioned to create DJ Yoda Goes to the Sci- Fi Movies as part of the BFI’s Sonic Cinema
event.
BBC Radio 6 Music gave him the platform to make history with the world’s first audio- visual radio
mix, and, as part of their BBC Music Day, Radio 4 invited Yoda to mash-up the entire station,
remixing The Archers, The Shipping Forecast, John Humphries and more in one of his most sublime
and surreal adventures yet.
Ever pushing the boundaries of live audio-visual performance his journey into popular culture – DJ
Yoda: A History of Gaming – premiered at the London Film Festival on the UK’s largest screen at the
prestigious IMAX, charting best loved and most fondly remembered games from the early 1980s to
the present.
