Following his recent Stranger Things mixtape tour, DJ Yoda appears at bluedot festival this summer. The London-based ‘turntablist’, who specialises in sampling, turns his attention to the history of gaming this time – with the likes of Street Fighter, Mario Kart, Tetris and other family favourites likely to feature prominently.

This live audio-visual performance premiered at the BFI in October 2016, as part of London Film Festival.
