Solid Steel Radio Show 26/7/2013 Part 3 + 4 - Paul White

One of the new vanguard of the British electronic music over the last few years, Adam Shelton has been winning plaudits from dance floors across Europe with acclaimed performances at some of the worlds hottest nightspots from Berlin’s esteemed Panorama bar to London’s Fabric and iconic Ibiza club Space. 

We’ve always been deeply impressed with both his work as a DJ and a label boss at his own imprint One Records and so we’re delighted to welcome such a champion of underground electronic music to deliver this weeks podcast ahead of his performance at Circoloco in the Arena; from acid to tech Adam seamlessly delivers it all. As someone with his ear firmly to the ground, his label One Records has long been known as a breeding ground  for emerging creative talent, having showcased the sounds of Seelie, Jordan Peak and Death on the Balcony alongside more underground scene veterans such as Geddes, Burnski and Jozif.

 So as the sun beats down enjoy  a journey  through sultry and atmospheric sounds towards acid-drenched techno and back again. The perfect accompaniment to that party you’ve been planning…

TRACKLISTING

DTP334 - Adam Shelton - Datatransmission

Solid Steel (2nd August) It's another special show as our own DJ Moneyshot presents another classic album deconstructed for the Solid Steel 25th Anniversary. Public Enemy's 'It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back' is also 25 years old and to honour both occasions DJ Moneyshot shows us once again why he's the mixtape king with the career-best offering, Solid Steel and the Hour of Chaos. Over 60 blistering minutes he takes in all the beats, breaks, samples and spoken word nuggets that made this seminal Bomb Squad production such an explosive release. Amongst the vast stack of tracks in the mix, expect words of wisdom from Louis Farrakhan, exclusive interviews with Hank Shocklee, and all the soul, rock 'n' roll and early rap tracks that went into making up P.E's (if not hip-hop's) finest album. If you enjoy the mix, why not read Moneyshot's exhaustive feature on the album in the pages of this month's Future Music magazine?

The Soft Sell..
This is a live all 45 mix made with one turntable and a loop pedal. It was constructed for Red Bull's 45 night on October 27 2008 in LA. This mix includes some cutting room floor ideas from The Hard Sell (DJ Shadow and I on 8 turntables and two loop pedals) and elements from what would later be part of my one turntable/loop pedal live mix CD "Sound Of The Police", which is out now.
Enjoy!

P.S. The end is a train wreck!!!

The Soft Sell

In hour 2 we welcome back Boca 45 and it's been a while since his last 7" only mix so he thought that in these days of slick Ableton mixes, it was time to take it "Back to the crackle". We get to hear a choice mix of 45 x 7" vinyl records that range from Stezo, Mongo Santamaria, Tom Jones to Gary Newman, The Upsetters and Coldcut. As Jimi Hendrix once said “There’s only 2 types of music, Good and Bad” Enjoy

Diva LIVE in the Boiler Room

It's a special welcome for Laurent Garnier in our 25th Anniversary slot, who last featured on the show back in 2005. His mix takes us on a journey through his Soundtrack collection and laced with dialog throughout. It opens with epic strings courtesy of Morton Gould and into Blixa Bargeld and Nick Cave's original score for Ghosts of the Civil Dead. Then it's Herbie Hancock from 'Round Midnight', David Holmes from Ocean's Eleven and Lalo Schiffrin from Enter the Dragon. His fellow countrymen are represented by Serge Gainsbourg, Jean Pierre Mirouze, Michel Magne and Francois de Roubaix, and it wouldn't be complete without Solid Steel favourite David Shire and The Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3.

We continue 25 years of Solid Steel with a mix from Photek, a legendary figure in music since the early nineties who featured many times on the show with tracks from Modus Operadi, Form & Function up to Pyramid from his recent album Ku:Palm, plus 'Into the 90's' from 1994 that also featured on Coldcut's Journeys by DJ mix CD. As ever we wanted something different and this mix titled 'Solid Steel Skool Dayz' suggests the music he listened to growing up with classic tracks from Gwen McCrae, ELO, Roxy Music, Inner Life and Joyce Sims.

Solid Steel Radio Show 21/6/2013 Part 3 + 4 - DK + JuJu & Jordash

Back to Basics is one of the longest running club events in the world, based in our home city of Leeds. The club has had a huge influence on us over the years, particularly in our early days when we could be found there on many a weekend immersing ourselves in their sounds. Our debut in 2007 is still one of our proudest moments as DJs. They’ve found a great new home at The Garage and it’s always an honour to play for them. 

This DJ set was recorded live at Basics @ The Garage on Saturday 22nd June 2013. Hope you enjoy. x

Ross Allen in his own words about Solid Steel;

"Is it really 25 years of Solid Steel ? Jeez, I know I  getting old ! I remember ‘bunking off’ from my first proper job, at the Midland Bank in the City, on a Friday afternoon, not having had a lunch so I could get home to check and tape the impeccable selections (and mixes) of Matt Black and Jonathan More.
 
Whilst at school I had listened to their separate shows on Fridays/Saturdays on,the then totally essential (for any aspiring London trendy), Kiss 94FM.

 I loved their presentation -downbeat, articulate and heavy on the sarcasm,  and their selections. their take on the nascent London Soul Underground, was as fresh and open minded as the original Hip Hop blueprint. And they dug… Deeper and broader than the rest. You could hear anything that was good on there. New, old and more often than not essential !
 
This mix is an homage to the selections (not the mixing !) that shaped my young musical mind. They, and others, warped it in the best way. It’s a burden I have long carried: i am officially (I wont bore you with the details) too eclectic for my own good and it was these two, and that show, that made me this way.
 
I never understand why anyone would want it any other wayThere is too much good music from across the genres to focus on one and, when put together properly, they sound best when woven into a whole new tapestry. This is what Coldcut did and subsequently PC, DK and Strictly Kev continued to do right up to the present day. It’s a good man who knows when not enter the fray,  and with regards to the master mix I am that man. I know my place… For the record this is a blend coz’ I can’t test !
 
This collection is small selection of the music that I recall hearing on the radio, in or out of the mix, on their show/s. It reflects the open mindedness of two of British Hip Hop’s greatest pioneers.

 For it is a Hip Hop that roots this selection. always looking for the perfect beat whether that be Little Sonny, The Vibrettes, MC 900ft Jesus or Salt N Pepa or looking for the future sounds of Unique 3, Aphex Twin and early Model 500 or scanning the planet for sounds with soul and a groove; from Pakistan’s Nusrat Ali Fat Khan to Mali’s then, cassette only, sensation Oumou Sangare. 

They captured the mood of a very creative time in electronic/black music. A time when the music went from being the underground black alternative sounds of electro funk to the over ground successes that are modern Hip Hop. electronic music too was rapidly evolving then in all its many strands. It is Interesting to note Back then they were often the same thing. The music was the DNA that iginited the revolution and in the middle of it blending all these deep and different strands together were Coldcut and Solid Steel.

The inclusion of Otis Clays modern soul anthem from the late 80’s ‘The Only Way Is Up’ is, apart from it being a genius track in it’s own right, an example of how they could take a cult track, add some acid house, a pop sensibility and take an obscure southern soul gem to the top of the charts around the world. Back when DJ’s first started to take their club based aesthetic into the studio (in this country particularly) Coldcut were leading the charge. Applying all their musical knowledge to the precise and laborious task of making their own ‘Lesson’ (Double Dee & Steinski’s tryptic of cut n paste genius from the mid 80’s).It was when They first came to my attention. when Pete Tong played ‘Say Kids What Time Is it ?’ on his Invicta Radio Sunday night show (actually pretty genius at the time). It blew me, and everyone else who heard it, away. They had the best and broadest beats and unleashed them with Ninja like precision to a London Underground saturated (though nothing compared to now) with import 12’s, long deleted funk obscurities and a small trickle of UK DJ based white labels. Back then this music we are swamped in was hard to trace but elements popped up all over the place. Especially on their show. 

 
They championed the DIY punk ethos of early club music whether it be from the US, the UK, Jamaica or Japan. It was the sound of  drums, bass, samples and delays… Coldcuts on Solid Steel.

As i said earlier I used to love their presentation skills. Always understated and heavy on the irony. it was very reminiscent of John Peels selection/presentation style except blacker.  I had never heard of Fela Kuti, The Twinkle Brothers, Arthur Russell or Oumou Sangare until  here. 

I had heard of an early Boogie Down Productions but was amazed to find out on Jon’s show that Scott La Rock had been shot dead in the Bronx. Jon announcing the terrible news with the rather curt ending of “well if you will sit on your album cover brandishing an Uzi may be you should expect something like that to happen !’’
 
It’s a fair point… I think Solid Steel - ‘the broadest beats in London’ was literally all about the beats, lyrics were great when they were good but were so often a let down when compared to the presenters intellectial and political stance and the quality of many of those early leftfield, beat tastic productions. Who needs lyrics when you have beats as good as Masters At Works ‘Blood Vibes’ or ‘All The Way To Heaven’ by MC 900ft Jesus. You can basically see the birth of Trip Hop here and the birth of their now seminal label Ninja Tune.
 
The reggae influence was always strong and their open minds where the only link I had to early hardcore and Jungle sounds reflected here with Satin Storm’s Babylon sampling “Can’t Take No More” and The Ragga Twins proto Jungle gem “18’’ Speaker”. The original JA sound was always represented whether through all time classics like Bunny Wailers’ ‘Rise & Shine’, The Twinkle Brothers genius in dub ‘Magnetic Enforcer’ or the UK based roots prophet Martin Campbell who’s ‘Wicked Rule’ they helped release.
 
This selection hopes to swiftly glide you through some seminal moments in musical history that were first brought to my attention by a radio show that is now 25 years old but still carrying the same aesthetic as it always has had ‘the broadest beats’ on Solid Steel…"
