Skalpel are Marcin Cichy and Igor Pudlo DJs/producers from Wrocław, Poland. Skalpel will play live in Bucharest at Jazz Pong this upcoming Friday, November 11.
Being new recruits of Ninja Foreign Legion, they are rather hesitant to speak about their past. They have made a name for themselves as meticulous physicians of bygone eras, making surgical incisions into their huge collections of Polish jazz from the 60’s and 70’s, to cut and paste collages that fit snuggly alongside label mates at Ninja Tune Mr Scruff, Bonobo, Coldcut and DJ Food. Between them, the duo own close to twenty thousand records, a handful of which were mined for their ace self-titled debut in 2004.
For the last two years they've been digging in the crates, trying to build the most exciting collection of samples from Polish Jazz records. Now they are slowly unleashing the music created from these sounds. They ressurected dusty&smokey spirit of polish jazz of 60s and 70s, and reimagined it for 21st century audiophiles.
