Biography
Ninja Tune is a label founded by Coldcut to distribute their records as well as those by similar and like-minded artists. Many, but not all, Ninja Tune artists use sampling extensively, and electronic sounds. Ninja Tune artists are typically experimental, but also accessible, at least in an IDM sense. Some folks don't consider Ninja Tune to be IDM because of their accessibility, often considering them some different flavor of straight dance music. Either way, though, it's a respectable roster that they've got.
