For this edition of the Ninja Tune podcast Kid Koala drops by to talk about his latest project "Space Cadet".

Kid Koala also talks through his early days, including being discovered at an in-store in Montreal by Coldcut's Jon More and some of his influence tracks such as A Tribe Called Quest, Henhouse Five plus 2, Carter Burwell, Coldcut and Theolonius Monk.
