We came across Addictive TV when they headlined for one of THTC star Beardyman's Battlejam night's some years ago. It was truly awesome.
The British duo, once so eloquently described as ‘next level shit’ by Grandmaster Flash himself, create music with a big difference; it’s music you can see! They were twice voted #1 VJs in the World alongside the Top 100 DJ Poll in DJ Magazine, who said “they’ve become famed for their eye-popping live shows, shredding and cutting film with beats into a heady, mind-meltingly funky mixture” and even The Times said they were “responsible for mind-bending live entertainment”!
In their work, Addictive TV dive into movies and videos hunting for sounds and images to sample, creating electronic music that fuses everything from fidget and electro to drum ‘n’ bass and rock, but always keeping the audio and video samples together. The globe trotting duo have now racked up gigs in more than 50 countries, appearing everywhere from clubs like Razzmatazz in Barcelona and Womb in Tokyo to the Pompidou Centre in Paris and the Museum of Sound & Image in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and events including Glastonbury, the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Gatecrasher's 2011 - 2012 New Year's Eve bash in Shanghai and the record-breaking largest ever silent disco, held in France in July 2011 for 10,000 ravers with headphones!
The guys are also known for remixing films as alternative trailers for Hollywood studios like Paramount, Universal and 20th Century Fox, for films including Iron Man, Fast & Furious and Danny Boyle’s Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire. In 2006, they were the first ever artists sanctioned to audio/visually sample and remix a Hollywood film, with the Antonio Banderas 'hip-hop vs ballroom dancing' themed Take the Lead. Addictive TV are Graham Daniels & Mark Vidler (aka Go Home Productions).
