Solid Steel (1st November) Having announced that Four Tet will be joining the line up for the Solid Steel 25th Anniversary night at Fire in London on 6th Dec, we now hand over the decks to him for a 2 Hour exclusive mix. 
Four Tet's history with the show extends back to his first mix in 2001 and part of the Solid Steel US Tour that year with DJ Food, DK and Bonobo. He was also the first guest at the monthly Solid Steel club night in 2004, with more mixes to follow and his music has been consistently played on the show. 

As with all our 25th Anniversary guests, we asked for something different and here's what he said about his mix;

"This mix is made from unofficial edits and mixes.  I guess these edits were mainly made to be played in clubs and I've always like the tradition of DJs extending and rearranging to make things work in their sets.  Most of the edits here are unreleased because they are just tools for DJs really.  The Black Unity one was done for the Solid Steel US tour that I did in 2001.  Thanks to Daphni, Floating Points and Happa for the edits I got from them."

Tickets for Fire on Dec 6th are available here: http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?491503

[가사]
저 깊은 바다에
요동치는 소리에
익숙해지듯이

거칠게 몰아치는 파도가
날 집어삼킬까 두렵듯이 난
네 그리움을 애써 피해

저 수평선 너머엔
너의 기억 던져질까 했어
칠흑 같은 어둠에서
너의 파도 안에서 계속 헤매었어

난 네가 보여 이 바다에서
난 너를 느껴 이 바다에서

두 눈을 감아
고요한 이 정적에
네 숨결을 느껴
아련하게 웃는 너

파도에 흩어진
차가운 네 흔적
다시 마음에 담아

저 수평선 너머엔
너의 기억 던져질까 했어
칠흑 같은 어둠에서
너의 파도 안에서 계속 헤매었어

난 네가 보여 이 바다에서
난 너를 느껴 이 바다에서

이젠 네 손을 뻗어줘

겨울바다

“긴 기다림 끝, 새싹처럼 피어난 우리 사랑을 꼭 쥐며 설레는 이 기분을 안고 영원히 살아갈 수 있다면, 너라는 세상은 어두웠던 나를 가득 밝혀 빛나게 해줄 거야”

너의 하늘 아래서
햇살 가득 안고 살아가
또 사랑이란 꽃향기에 난
너에게 취해버리고 말 거야

마치 영화 속 주인공이 된듯해
내 뻔한 하루 속 너란 각본 온듯해
느낀 이 감정 쉽게 변하지 않을게
더 가까이 내게로 와

I feel like I’m fall in love with you yeah
I feel like I gotta make some love yeah
We'll be fine errthing’s gonna be alright
Alright

난 너의 품에 안겨있고 싶다가도 
가끔씩은 살짝 서운해져
그러다가도 설레임이란 선물을 주고 
내 상처를 아물게 해줘 넌

너도 나와 같은 마음이지?
계속해 확인하고파
표현은 더욱더 해줄게
나 매일 해주고 싶은 말은 말이야

가끔씩 내게 부리는 그 애교도
뭐든지 간에 넌 너무 예뻐
보여서 어쩔 줄 모르겠어 나는
숨기지는 못하겠어

마치 영화 속 주인공이 된듯해
내 뻔한 하루 속 너란 각본 온듯해
느낀 이 감정 쉽게 변하지 않을게
더 가까이 내게로 와

I feel like I’m fall in love with you yeah
I feel like I gotta make some love yeah
We'll be fine errthing’s gonna be alright
Alright

널 좋다 하는 사람 많겠지
그래도 너는 항상 나이길
이 기회를 간절히 붙잡길
우린 결국 돌다가 만났으니

비 올 때 상쾌한 
바람처럼 넌 내게
그 어떤 것보다 
설레어와 넌 네게

그러니까 어디로든 Drive
이 좋은 날이 참 아깝잖아
기분은 바람 타고 날잖아
풍선처럼 높이 올라가

마치 영화 속 주인공이 된듯해
내 뻔한 하루 속 너란 각본 온듯해
느낀 이 감정 쉽게 변하지 않을게
더 가까이 내게로 와

I feel like I’m fall in love with you yeah
I feel like I gotta make some love yeah
We'll be fine errthing’s gonna be alright
Alright

너라는 세상 속에 영원히 나 살게 된다면

Your World

Solid Steel (27th December) 2013 marked the 25th Anniversary of Solid Steel when Matt Black and Jon More from Coldcut started broadcasting together on pirate Kiss FM in 1988. It's been a year long celebration and we'd like to thank all the guests who have contributed incredible mixes throughout the year. To see off the year in style, we asked our listeners to vote for their favourite guest mix from the last 25 years and also their favourite mixes from our resident DJ's, with huge prizes up for grabs.

The guest mix you chose as your favourite from the last 25 years was Bonobo with his 'Directors Cut mix' of his Solid Steel Mix CD release "It came from the Sea", which was first broadcast on the 9th December 2005. It's his 2 hour version of the mix featuring tracks that didn't make the final cut including his own edit of Gang of Four and the brilliant Four Tet edit of Black Unity by Pharoah Saunders.

Up next it's your favourite mix from DK which was his 'Cymatic Frequencies' mix from the 21st January 2011. This was also his first solo AV mix and was packed full of musical highlights from 2010 and can be viewed here http://vimeo.com/19005861 Joy Orbison, Ramadanman and Maddslinky remixed by Toddla T all feature, alongside a Ninja Trio and a Big Dada double, plus James Blake, Caribou and Bassnectar.

Congratulations to Daniel Westlake from Tunbridge Wells in Kent, who was the winner picked at random in the competition and will receive prizes from Novation, AIAIA, Serato and Solid Steel.

Solid Steel Radio Show 14/3/2014 Part 3 + 4 - Joe Kay + DK

Solid Steel (27th February) In Hour 1 it's the turn of Palms Trax to grace the decks and the recent RBMA graduate drops a mix of quality House and Techno spanning the last 25 years, featuring recent cuts from Beatrice Dillon, Josh Milan and Mighty Thor, plus vintage selections from After Hours, Hard Drive and Stasis. He had this to say;
"Mixed in the Berlin Community Radio studio really late on a Sunday, it includes a few records that would feel at right home on my show and a few others I've been enjoying playing out recently. It's a good measure of what I'm into at the moment. Thanks to JM Moser, PLO Man and Tama Sumo for the (constant) inspiration." His new EP 'In Gold' is out on Dekmantel in March.
