DJ Yoda is recruiting songwriters, DJs and animators for his new Breakfast of Champions live band in Manchester.
Commissioned by Wall of Sounds as part of their Artistic Director Series 2014, Breakfast Of Champions will run 15-19 September at Manchester venue Band in the Wall.
The residency will invite musicians, percussionists, animators, visual artists and vocalists from across the UK to join the DJ on this five day residency. The 13 chosen collaborators will take part in the recording of a new EP and live show at Band in the Wall on 19 September.
DJ Yoda said: ‘This is a new arena for me, I’ve done loads of collaborations but I’ve never actually tried to put together a band, so I jumped at this opportunity.
‘I’m talent-spotting right now, and see this as a chance to initiate music careers, as well as to realise my vision of a live hip-hop band. I want Breakfast of Champions to be the start of a real collective.’
Following Manchester a London date will follow at Camden’s Jazz cafe on 8 November with more dates expected to be announced later in the year.
The band’s collaborators to date include vocalists Sparks and Truthos Mufasa from Manchester collective Mouse Outfit, human beat boxer Shlomo and new act Rex Domino.
Apply to be a part of DJ Yoda’s new project.
