20 Years of Ninja Tune

It was recently the 20 year anniversary of the Ninja Tune label and so I thought I'd post some of my favorite tunes from their catalogue. You can click here to go to their website and check out some of their cool tunes from pioneers such as Coldcut, tunes you will recognise from Cinematic Orchestra and plenty that you won't but still, they are a great label and have been instrumental in the UK music scene of the last 20 years. This is just a selection but you can get most of the albums and all of the tracks below from Ovi Music.
So here are some of my favorites.
DJ Food - Consciousness from Jazz Brakes 5.
Up, Bustle and Out - Emerald Alley from Compared to What/Emerald Alley EP.
Coldcut - Walk a Mile in My Shoes featuring Robert Owens.
Funki Porcini - Dubble from Hed Phone Sex.
Bonobo - Recurring from his Solid Steel Prestents : It Came From the Sea.
Cinematic Orchestra - All That You Give from a 12" but I really could have picked almost any of their tracks.
Herbaliser - Mission Improbable from Very Mercenary
9Lazy9 - Black Jesus from the single of the same name.
Amon Tobin - Nova from the album Permutation.
Andreya Triana - A Town Called Obsolete from Lost Where I Belong

So here are just 10 tracks from their Ninja Tune's extensive stable of artists. All of there are pretty mellow tunes but there is some faster stuff if that's what you prefer. And once again, you can get all of there from Noki's Ovi Music. So why not check out a few of them. One of my favorite labels with some of my favorite tunes.
