Editing Coldcut (section)

===2000s===
In 2000, the ''Solid Steel'' show moved to [[BBC London]].

Coldcut continued to forge interesting collaborations, including 2001's ''Re:volution'' as an EP in which Coldcut created their own political party (The Guilty Party). Featuring scratches and samples of [[Tony Blair]] and [[William Hague]] speeches,<ref>{{cite web |title=Watch Coldcut - Re:Volution |url=http://www.roxwel.com/player/coldcutrevolution.html?detect_bitrate=_700 |work=Roxwel |access-date=26 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202230254/http://www.roxwel.com/player/coldcutrevolution.html?detect_bitrate=_700 |archive-date=2 December 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> the 3-track EP included Nautilus' "Space Journey", which won an Intermusic contest in 2000.<ref>{{cite web |title= Coldcut Re:volution EP |url= http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/1533-revolution-ep/ |work=Pitchfork |access-date =26 November 2013}}</ref> The video was widely played on [[MTV]]. With "Space Journey", Coldcut were arguably the first group to give fans access to the multitrack parts, or "stems" of their songs, building on the idea of interactivity and sharing from ''Let Us Play''.

In 2001, Coldcut produced tracks for the [[Sega]] music video game ''[[Rez (video game)|Rez]]''. ''Rez'' replaced typical video-game sound effects with electronic music; the player created sounds and melodies, intended to simulate a form of synesthesia. The soundtrack also featured [[Adam Freeland]] and [[Oval (musical project)|Oval]].

In 2002, while utilizing VJamm and Detraktor, Coldcut and Juxta remixed [[Herbie Hancock]]'s classic "[[Rockit (song)|Rockit]]", creating both an audio and video remix.

Working with Marcus Clements in 2002, Coldcut released the sample manipulation algorhythm from their DJamm software as a standalone VST plugin that could be used in other software, naming it the "Coldcutter".

Also in 2002, Coldcut with UK VJs Headspace (now mainly performing as the VJamm Allstars developed Gridio, an interactive, immersive audio-visual installation for the [[Pompidou Centre]] as part of the ‘'Sonic Process'' exhibition.<ref>{{cite web |title= Volumes 200-202 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=qEA4AQAAIAAJ&q=coldcut+gridio+pompidou |work=Blueprint|access-date= 26 November 2013}}</ref> The ''Sonic Process'' exhibition was launched at the [[Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art|MACBA]] in Barcelona in conjunction with [[Sónar]], featuring Gridio as its centerpiece. In 2003, a commission for [[Graz]] led to a specially built version of Gridio, in a cave inside the castle mountain in Austria. Gridio was later commissioned by [[O2 (United Kingdom)|O2]] for two simultaneous customised installations at the O2 Wireless Festivals in [[Leeds]] and London in 2007. That same year, Gridio was featured as part of Optronica at the opening week of the new [[BFI Southbank]] development in London.

In 2003, Black worked with [[Penny Rimbaud]] (ex [[Crass]]) on [[Crass Agenda]]'s Savage Utopia project. Black performed the piece with Rimbaud, Eve Libertine and other players at London's [[Vortex Jazz Club]].

In 2004, Coldcut collaborated with American [[video mashup]] artist TV Sheriff to produce their cut-up entitled "Revolution USA". The tactical-media project (coordinated with Canadian art duo NomIg) followed on from the UK version and extended the premise "into an open access participatory project".<ref>{{cite book|title=Digital Media and Democracy: Tactics in Hard Times|isbn = 9780262514897|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4bv-eeLkG6YC&q=%22Revolution+USA%22+coldcut&pg=PA370|access-date=26 November 2013|last1 = Boler|first1 = Megan|year = 2010}}</ref> Through the multimedia political art project, over 12 gigabytes of footage from the last 40 years of US politics were made accessible to download, allowing participants to create a cut-up over a Coldcut beat.<ref>{{cite web|title=REVOLUTION:USA - A Coldcut & Nomig Project|url=http://www.portwax.net/blogwax/archives/60|work=Portwax|access-date=26 November 2013}}</ref> Coldcut also collaborated with TV Sheriff and NomIg to produce two audiovisual pieces "World of Evil" (2004) and "Revolution '08" (2008), both composed of footage from the United States presidential elections of respective years. The music used was composed by Coldcut, with "Revolution '08" featuring a remix by the Qemists.

Later that year, a collaboration with the [[British Antarctic Survey|British Antarctic Survey (BAS)]] led to the psychedelic art documentary ''Wavejammer''. Coldcut was given access to the BAS archive in order to create sounds and visuals for the short film.

Two thousand and four also saw Coldcut produce a radio play in conjunction with renowned young author [[Hari Kunzru]] for [[BBC Radio 3]] (incidentally called ''Sound Mirrors'').<ref name="autogenerated2006">{{cite news |title= (unknown title) |via= 26 November 2013 |newspaper= DJ Times |year=2006}}</ref>

Coldcut returned with the single "Everything Is Under Control" at the end of 2005, featuring [[Jon Spencer]] (of [[Jon Spencer Blues Explosion]]) and [[Mike Ladd]]. It was followed in 2006 by their fifth studio album ''[[Sound Mirrors]]'', which was quoted as being "one of the most vital and imaginative records Jon Moore and Matt Black have ever made",<ref name="Issues 146-148">{{cite web |title=Issues 146-148 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=33JLAAAAYAAJ&q=%22Everything+Is+Under+Control%E2%80%9D+coldcut|work=Mojo|year = 2006|access-date=26 November 2013}}</ref> and saw the duo "continue, impressively, to find new ways to present political statements through a gamut of pristine electronics and breakbeats" (CITATION: Future Music, 2007). The fascinating array of guest vocalists <ref name="Issues 146-148"/> included [[Soweto Kinch]], [[Annette Peacock]], Ameri Baraka, and [[Saul Williams]]. The latter followed on from Coldcut's remix of Williams' "The Pledge" for a project with [[DJ Spooky]].

A 100-date audiovisual world tour commenced for ''Sound Mirrors'', which was considered "no small feat in terms of technology or human effort".<ref name="autogenerated2006"/> Coldcut was accompanied by scratch DJ Raj Pannu and AV artist Juxta, in addition to guest vocalists from the album, including UK rapper [[Juice Aleem]], [[Roots Manuva]], [[MPHO|Mpho Skeef]], Jon Spencer and house legend [[Robert Owens (musician)|Robert Owens]].

Three further singles were released from the album including the Top 75 hit "True Skool" with [[Roots Manuva]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Coldcut|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/_/coldcut/|work=Official charts|access-date=26 November 2013}}</ref> The same track appeared on the [[soundtrack]] of the [[video game]] [[FIFA Street 2]].

Sponsored by the British Council, in 2005 Coldcut introduced AV mixing to India with the Union project, alongside collaborators [[Howie B]] and [[Aki Nawaz]] of [[Fun-Da-Mental]]. Coldcut created an A/V remix of the Bollywood hit movie ''Kal Ho Naa Ho''.

In 2006, Coldcut performed an A/V set based on "Music for 18 Musicians" as part of [[Steve Reich]]'s 70th birthday gig at the [[Barbican Centre]] in London. This was originally written for the 1999 album ''[[Reich Remixed]]''.

Coldcut remixed another classic song in 2007: [[Nina Simone]]'s "Save Me". This was part of a remix album called ''Nina Simone: Remixed & Re-imagined'', featuring remixes from Tony Humphries, [[Francois K]] and Chris Coco.

In February 2007, Coldcut and Mixmaster Morris created a psychedelic AV obituary/tribute Coldcut, [[Mixmaster Morris]], [[Ken Campbell]], [[Bill Drummond]] and [[Alan Moore]] (18 March 2007). [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x366w1_robert-anton-wilson-1-ken-campbell_fun Robert Anton Wilson tribute show]. [[Queen Elizabeth Hall]], London: [[Mixmaster Morris]]. (28 August 2009) to [[Robert Anton Wilson]], the 60s author of [[Illuminatus! Trilogy]]. The tribute featured graphic novel writer [[Alan Moore]] and artist [[Bill Drummond]] and a performance by experimental theatre legend [[Ken Campbell]]. Coldcut and Morris' hour and a half performance resembled a documentary being remixed on the fly, cutting up nearly 15 hours' worth of Wilson's lectures.

In 2008, an international group of party organisers, activists and artists including Coldcut received a grant from the Intelligent Energy Department of the European Union, to create a project that promoted intelligent energy and environmental awareness to the youth of Europe. The result was Energy Union, a piece of VJ cinema, political campaign, music tour, party, art exhibition and social media hub. Energy Union toured 12 EU countries throughout 2009 and 2010, completing 24 events in total. Coldcut created the Energy Union show for the tour, a one-hour Audio/Visual montage on the theme of Intelligent Energy. In presenting new ideas for climate, environmental and energy communication strategies, the Energy Union tour was well received, and reached a widespread audience in cities across the UK, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Spain and the Czech Republic.

Also in 2008, Coldcut was asked to remix the theme song for British cult TV show ''[[Doctor Who]]'' for the program's 40th anniversary.<ref>{{cite book|title=CMJ New Music Report|date = 18 August 2003|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=B3LxC-059_QC&q=coldcut+%22dr+who%22&pg=PA29|access-date=26 November 2013}}</ref> In October 2008, Coldcut celebrated the legacy of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (the place where the Doctor Who theme was created) with a live DJ mix at London's legendary Roundhouse. The live mix incorporated classic Radiophonic Workshop compositions with extended sampling of the original gear.<ref>{{cite web|title=Coldcut via The Radiophonic Workshop|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/electricproms/2008/artists/coldcut/|work=BBC|access-date=26 November 2013}}</ref>

Additionally in 2008, Coldcut remixed "Ourselves", a Japanese No. 1 hit from the single "&" by [[Ayumi Hamasaki]]. This mix was included on the album ''[[Ayu-mi-x 6: Gold]]''.

Starting in 2009, Matt Black, with musician/artist/coder Paul Miller (creator of the TX Modular Open Source synth), developed Granul8, a new type of visual fx/source Black termed a "granular video synthesiser". Granul8 allows the use of realtime VJ techniques including video feedback combined with VDMX [[VJing|VJ]] software.

From 2009 onwards, Black has been collaborating with coder and psychedelic mathematician William Rood to create a forthcoming project called Liveloom, a social media AV mixer.
