Peel back your ears, stick matchsticks in your eyes, set your jaw to ‘drop’… Bristol’s Detective of Perspective, DJ Cheeba is plugged in and here to turn the tables. Known for twisting sight and sound into dancefloor devastation, Cheeba has the unrivaled technical ability, knowledge and humour to pull it all together like no one else. He’s on a one-man mission to cut, paste and manipulate anything and everything you’ve ever seen, heard or imagined. Prepare for mind melt… Cheeba is certainly not your standard disc jockey.
In 2008 Cheeba won the coveted ‘Solid Steel Mix of The Year’ with his, highly regarded, genre twisting mixtape ‘The Case Of The Missing Records’ and has since been invited to officially join the Solid Steel family alongside Ninja Tune legends such as Coldcut and DJ Food. Using this platform, Cheeba has quickly gained fans world wide and has been everywhere and anywhere doing his thing often out shining his peers and heroes with intricate sets of undeniable creativity. You can certainly expect the unexpected, Cheeba digs deeper than most and will take you on a trip of long forgotten beats, breaks and videotapes.
Cheeba is now pushing boundaries and progressing mixtapes as we know know them using standard turntables and Serato Video SL software to enable video controlled by real vinyl records. Cheeba has now brought scratching and juggling both sounds and pictures into the mix with additional camera feeds and special FX for stunning live results. Original films, remixes and music videos are all seamlessly thrown together with inspired video mash ups, animations and a wealth of other visual delights. It’s a video show unlike any other… Every track is remixed or re-edited, every video is custom made, concealed meanings make you think twice and movie clips cross reference the songs which all add to this weird and wonderful brew of audio visual entertainment.
“Cheeba’'s attention to musical detail is as meticulous as his cuts, he leaves no stone or style unturned in his search”.
“Cheeba is the sound and sight of Solid Steel’s new school. Having won the ‘Mix of The Year’ award in 2008 and been a regular guest for Soundcrash over the last 12 months Cheeba’s ability to rock a party is unrivaled. Now bringing visuals into the mix, this new show will twist sight and sound into a blend of beats and breaks cut with visual material from the far reaches of moving image history. Expect the unexpected… your eyes wont believe your ears, keep them peeled!”
