"Not a band but an idea," Marclay says of this compilation of live performances by the best avant-deejays around: Toshio Kajiwara, Marina Rosenfeld, Gregor Asch aka DJ Olive and Erik M., as well as Marclay himself.
Artist and musician Christian Marclay founded this rotating trio in 1996 to promote the notion of the deejay as an ensemble player rather than a soloist. "I believe a good deejay should be able to play music with others, like any legitimate musician," he has said. This recording documents several Marclay improvisations with four of the best experimental turntablists of the last decade: Kajiwara, Rosenfeld, DJ Olive and Erik M. Tracks were recorded live in Pittsburgh, New York, Detroit, Washington D.C., Paris, and at Bard College in upstate New York.
