Coldcut film by Nellee Hooper

The events in Hyde Park - both the ones detailed below and a week later when Morrissey was in town - clearly left me in so much shock I wasn't able to post for ages, so here's something vintage and cheery to perk you all up.

A film to Coldcut's 87 single 'Say Kids What Time Is It?' made by Nellee Hooper. Around this time where was a real network of UK b-boys growing up at the time which took in Hooper's Wild Bunch and the Massive/Tricky/Portishead axis, as well as DJ Die, Roni Size and Krust, Goldie, Deadly Avenger and the Graphotism crew in the Midlands and, as this film proves, the London rare groove/early sampladelic scene.



I remember hearing this and indeed taping it from John Peel's late night show, then rushing into school to claim I'd found the future of music. Hmmm, did anyone listen?!!
