New Video: Kid Koala Flexi Disc Competition
I have recently entered Ninja Tune and Kid Koala's Flexi Disc DJ Battle competition. The rules were to create a routine using sounds purely from the flexi disc included with Kid Koala's new LP, 12bit Blues (Ninja Tune), and to use the flexi disc at least once during the performance. The top 3 most popular videos are judged by a judging panel in early December. In order to vote all you have to do is sign into a YouTube account (Gmail accounts also
work) and give the video below a 'thumbs up' on YouTube.
I hope you enjoy the routine! Thanks in advance if you take the time out to give feedback on the video!
