The Beat Down, Vol. 1

Ninja Tune is an independent record label based in London, with a satellite office in Los Angeles. It was founded in 1990 by musicians Matt Black and Jonathan More, known collectively as Coldcut. The label was established as an outlet for Coldcut to explore a style distinct from that of the mainstream music industry. In March 2026, the label and its publishing arm were acquired by Concord, which in turn would be acquired by BMG Rights Management in September of the same year.
