ECLECTIC METHOD BIOG
A head-rush that unites disparate pop culture elements into an insanely
infectious, beatwise rollercoaster - DJ Mag
Tying up the visuals with the audio - that is the future: Two words:
Eclectic Method . - Eddy Temple-Morris, XFM/MTV
2manyDjs but with music videos - Time Out
"That's Hot!"- Christina Aguilera
Dubbed the future of nightclub entertainment, their fans read like a
Whos Who of musical innovation. Ranging from Fatboy Slim andGilles
Peterson to Norman Jay and Brian Eno.
Their unique take on mixing music video and film snips like DJs mix records is a king-sized leap away from any preconceptions. Take a healthy dollop of post-modern irony, a Britney sample here, a rock riff there, an electronic dance anthem or two and a peppering of pop classics and youre on your way to understanding their vibe. Top that off with some rare hip-hop and film action mania and youve got an all encompassing audio visual experience in a party atmosphere like never before, shuffling together mainstream and underground to create a live, visionary, high impact improvised remix experience.
Other quotes:
The perfect act to warm up and get the crowd going because the relentless
danceability of what theyre doing really warms people up - Matt Black
(Coldcut)
A 200 pound gorilla in the world of audio-visual mash-upsI cannot heap
enough praise on them - Boom Selection
They've all got waiter's arse and they all wear nappies - Kevin Powder
