It is on Vimeo as “BR#69 Thom Yorke” and as a podcast. The set runs through records by Blawan, Modeselektor and Ramadanman.
The band's blog had billed the night as Radiohead taking over the Boiler Room, but the set was Yorke's alone. He played at Corsica Studios in London for an invited crowd, between sets by four of the album's remixers, Jamie xx, Caribou, Lone and Illum Sphere. Boiler Room, a London club night streamed live to people at their computers, has grown fast over the past nine months or so; this was its 69th broadcast, from 8pm to 11pm, and Dead Air Space carried the stream too.
The album came out on Monday and gathers the remixes of The King of Limbs that came out on 12-inch singles over the summer, 19 tracks on two discs. Clash called the night a rare turn behind the decks for Yorke, who has DJed at the Low End Theory club in Los Angeles and at the odd one-off set elsewhere.
