Talk:Ninja Tune/Archives/2014

Artist Roster
I've created a basic article for NTone, but their roster includes Animals on Wheels, Fink, Flanger and Hexstatic who are all also listed on the Ninja Tune article. Did these artists release music specifically on Ninja Tune and therefore warrant being on both lists, or should any be removed from Ninja Tune's roster? Gram 12:24, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Maybe someone start Counter Records article? TapaTune (talk) 02:04, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

About Flanger - he have releases as on Ninja Tune, as on Ntone, so i think he must be in Ninja Tune artists list. TapaTune (talk) 01:54, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Fingathing
Not sure Fingathing belong in this article. They're on Grand Central Records, although their album And The Big Red Nebula Band was released by Ninja Tune in the USA & Canada only. Worth keeping here? Gram 23:52, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I think better use this blog for info who is Ninja artist and who is relate to another label, they better know it, couse they collect and arrange all that relate to Ninja Tune. TapaTune (talk) 18:06, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Simple use this official link TapaTune (talk) 18:24, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Your two links disagree as to whether Fingathing are on Ninja Tune. Presumably because the former is a US site, and the latter a UK site. As Ninja Tune is a UK label, and Fingathing a UK band, we should go by that, and therefore Fingathing are not on the Ninja Tune roster. Gram123 (talk) 10:52, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Abstract hip hop
I don't think this is a well documented enough term for Wikipedia, and there's no article on it, so for the time being I've redirected the Wikilinks to British hip hop as this is the most relevant link meantime. I'm also doing a bit of a re-write on that. Escaper7 08:43, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Althought it is a fairly self explanatory term. would a better solution be to write a quick article on that term--comparing it to Trip-Hop, Leftfield Hip Hop, and Instrumental Hip Hop?Blueswalk 21:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Quebec Based?
It seems to me that a friend of mine worked for Ninja Tune in Montreal, but I could be mistaken. The article doesn't mention any Quebec connection. It probably should, since it is listed in the Quebec Record Labels category. DJsunkid 04:41, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh wait, there it is, right up at the top. Never mind DJsunkid 04:46, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

The name
Did the Ninja Tune founders get the name from the Hexstatic song of the same name, or was it the other way around? If it's the former, that factoid should probably be mentioned somewhere in the article. - Ugliness Man 15:09, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure the label existed long before the song. The Hexstatic song was on Rewind, the Ninja Tune EP and Xen Cuts, all of which were released in 2000. Can't find any evidence that the song was on any releases prior to this date. The label started in 1991. Gram 12:35, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Neotropic
The Neotropic link under artists currently links to a climate-related article. I may try to start an article in the next week or two on Riz Maslen. I actually wrote and article on her for XLR8R magazine a few years back, and I should be able to refer to that and give it as reference...Blueswalk 21:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Shadow Records
The Ninja Tune/Shadow records cash-in controversy should be mentioned/explained, otherwise it appears that they are still in partnership. See also Ninjatune Releases - Adventures In Foam (as noted at Adventures_in_Foam -- Quiddity (talk) 22:42, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

COI tag
Can someone please explain why there's a COI tag on this article? It's not evident from the talk page. ScottyBerg (talk) 19:42, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Artist roster again / new sub-labels
I've gone through the list and added a bunch who are noted on the official Ninja Tune site but were missing here. Cabbageboy, Hex and Neotropic are signed to Ntone, so should probably be removed from the main Ninja Tune list. Ditto for DELS, Juice Aleem, Roots Manuva and Spank Rock, who are all signed to Big Dada. These artists may have released the odd track on Ninja Tune, or appeared on other Ninja Tune artists' songs, but they're contract is with the sub-labels.

Speaking of sub-labels, here are the rosters, also from Ninja Tune's official site:
