Raj Pannu (Coldcut/Ninja Tune) Raj Pannu is one of the most respected DJs in the UK, in this creative masterclass he will look at Turntablism, the advances in its technology, basic production techniques, scratching, hip-hop and sampling culture as well as discussing his own story. Raj has toured the world as the audio and audio visual DJ for Coldcut & Ninja Tune, performed with and remixed Mercury Prize winning artist Talvin Singh as well as still DJing regularly he has also set up his own label, magazine & event company Fresh Hell. "Raj Pannu has been part of the Coldcut live crew for 3 years and we've done nearly 200 amazing shows together. He is absolutely the best DJ Coldcut have worked with: his sick skills combined with a gobsmacking depth of musical knowledge are unique. Not all DJs can play the RIGHT records and play WITH the records! Raj excels at both. Plus, he rolls perfectly with Audiovisual tricknology too.” Coldcut The Masterclass will be chaired by Mark Lowry (Shindig/UMT) and our expert UMT Tutors will be on hand to discuss available spaces on upcoming DJ & Production courses (see below).
