Absofuckinglutely.

If you aren't skeptical about BoC randomly performing after 10+ years, at the IDM equivalent of a tribute band show at that, you brought this on yourself

i just read words, span

Nothing is Real

If you give me 100 bucks, BoC will perform

Correctamundo

Give me £1000 and BoC will play in your living room

did twoism have time to blow up? did they buy all the tickets?

well skimming that thread was a roller coaster of emotions

flol that mail !

"sorry dude no BOC but hey ! DJ FOOD !!!"

Sorry, advertisment should have read: a Dj preparing food with cutting boards from Canada

A+ Troll. Well played.

Refunded, Poor DJ Food. If I lived in LDN i'd definitely have gone but not travelling a way and paying for accomodation for it.

 HHey, 

 

 

 

Thanks for buying a ticket for DJ FOOD at Archspace.

 

Due to a typo in our mailer, it sounded like Boards of Canda would be performing with DJ FOOD at Archspace.

 

 

 

We apologise for the mistake, however, we are massively looking forward for a great show from DJ FOOD.

 

 

 

Any questions let me know

 

 

 

Best

 

lol "massively looking forward "

I had to ask to be offered a refund and the contact said "refund or keep tickets but not both"

It was false advertising not a typo. I paid to see Board of Canada after-all

O is for "Oh no they didnt"

Come on guys aren't you massively looking forward for a great show from DJ FOOD ?

What he's done with O is for Orange is cool enough but it's not the same as performing WITH Boards of Canada. Poor Food.

Yeh I can't justify the funds for flights/hotel/kalaidescopic t-shirts for just DJ Food.

Refunded . Oh well. that killed a few hours

1. lol

2. Apologies in advance, but I must insist that DJ Food not get any collateral flak by dint of ignorance, so

DJ Food began as a Coldcut side project in the early 90s as a means of releasing breaks records, i.e., "food for DJs."  It was originally a 4-member collective (the two Coldcut dudes, PC, Strictly Kev), but as it started to gain traction - breaks becoming more full-blown productions - Coldcut ceded control of the project to PC & Kev.  PC left to do other stuff in the 2000s and I think it's only been Kev since.

They (PC & Kev) are first rate producers and released some decent (albeit hit or miss) stuff, though they're way more exalted the realm of mixing and turntablism, having featured on Coldcut's timeless 70 Minutes of Madness mix and making the fantastic Blech mixes for Warp in the mid-90s.  They're obsessive record & sample collectors too, IIRC one of them had enough material to do 4 hours worth of mixes featuring nothing but Kraftwerk covers by other artists.

For fellow boccers, they also made this short 'n sweet BoC mix around the time of Geogaddi's release:

DJ Food is all good in my book, I wouldn't have minded going if it was more convenient.

reading this thread from the beginning is an emotional roller coaster, it starts with boc playing live  to ups just a typo. 
I dont want even want know how twoism reacted to this.

haha yeah what a thread to wake up to, wow

This whole situation is a massive clusterfuck.

Kev is awesome, he was at an Emotion Wave night back last year and put on an excellent set with amazing visuals that he had hand-crafted himself onto projector slides.

While the cynic in me is leaning towards the "typo" being done on purpose to get clickbait purchases of tickets, the pragmatist in me realises that most of the time these organisers won't have heard of a lot of the acts they're hosting.

It's definitely plausible that someone did genuinely fuck up the promotion here.

mfw all you guys get a refund and then it turns out BoC *are* playing, on the hush hush like
