‘Home Cooking’ is the new, mature sound of DJ Yoda. Maximising the experience and enjoyment gained from recording live instruments and prioritising songs over beats for his previous two albums,

‘Breakfast of Champions’ and ‘Chop Suey’, this is a big step for the

cut-and-paster as a producer, having wowed the world for over two decades with his celebrated turntable tomfoolery.

Recorded between his own studio and Abbey Road, ‘Home Cooking’ keeps one foot in the hip-hop old school with collaborations with the Jungle Brothers(the party-starting ‘Afrika’) and Boston bastion EdoG (a peaceful route from London to ‘Roxbury’), and spreads to a melodic vibe scoring chilled Sunday mornings, imbued with the spirit of Guru’s ‘Jazzmatazz’, the output of

ï»¿Acid Jazz and 90s vitals from A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul.

Lining up some of the best jazz musicians the scene has to offer keeps

'Home Cooking' very much in the moment. Tuba sharp shooter Theon Cross, fast-rising saxophonist and boundary breaker Nubya Garcia, and award-winning jazz alchemist Henry Wu on keys, put ‘Home Cooking’ in the safest, most nimble of hands. Add in the bespoke vocals of Omar, Joel Culpepperand Eva Lazarus, and the timing of Yoda’s sound expansion, plotted across London and beyond, is impeccable.

Yoda will be taking the ‘Home Cooking’ tour across the UK in April with special guests, performing in Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol, Nottingham and London.
