Kid Koala - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (25th Anniversary Edition)

‘Carpal Tunnel Syndrome’ - the bonkers sound collage / 2000 scratch odyssey from the musical genius that is Kid Koala - gets the 25th Anniversary reissue treatment from Ninja Tune.

A true musical visionary, Eric San aka Kid Koala combined a sensei-like approach to his craft with wild humour, giving his art an utterly inimitable quality. A dedicated turntablist (‘turntablism’: the art of using turntables as a musical instrument to create original sounds, mixes and rhythms), San recorded ‘Carpal Tunnel Syndrome’ entirely on turntables, hand-cutting vinyl records onto an eight-track recorder. The result is an eccentric, joyful romp through his uniquely warped and brilliant mind.

Kid Koala has established himself as a respected performer, film composer, theatre producer and visual artist. His career began as a scratch DJ in 1994, rapidly growing a cult fanbase due to his virtuosic skills. Ever innovating, he quickly evolved into combining turntables with analogue machines and visual storytelling devices to create his signature style. Kid Koala jumps effortlessly between genres as eclectic as hip-hop, ambient, alternative, contemporary classical, blues, classic rock and jazz.
