DJ Food ‘Lo Editions Licensing sampler’

Info

  • Jon Tye‘s Lo Editions series of online licensing albums gets another entry with a DJ Food sampler. This is music for TV and film, fully licensed and ready to use if you’re signed up to Universal Music’s production music service. The tracks span from early ‘Jazz Brakes’ LPs up to ‘The Search Engine’ but all songs have any vocals removed as well as names changed from the originals.

    Some are exclusive edits, instrumentals, reworkings and even unreleased in some cases. You can listen online and play spot the original but there won’t be a physical release because this stuff is mainly in the digital domain these days

  • It was decided to do a full DJ Food remix album after the first 2 ‘Refried Food’ 12″s had been released so they were repackaged with new artwork as the first double 12″ of 3 sets. These covers had 6 colours used in the printing rather than the usual 4.
    As well as regular CMYK there was also a layer for the main colour (Orange, Yellow or Burgundy) and one for an extra black that was unique for each of the covers and highlighted which mixes were available on that particular disc.
