Solid Steel in association with Serato (24th April) This week we launch a brand new Solid Steel website at http://solidsteel.net and we're delighted to welcome back two guests Caribou and Colleen with exclusive new mixes to celebrate. They both appeared in the same show 10 years ago and on the new website you can hear their 2005 mixes in the Featured section, along with Caribou’s mix from 2000 when he was still known as Manitoba. Also released this week will be a mix from Matthew Herbert as Doctor Rockit (1995), Autechre mix (1997) and a Juan Atkins mix and interview from 1988, plus selected shows from the last 27 years and many more to come each week.
We even have new Solid Steel jingles for the first time in ages, and, over the coming weeks, you can hear what the likes of Luke Vibert, next week's guest Four Tet and FaltyDL (which starts the show this week) have come up with.

In Hour 2, Colleen is celebrating the release of her latest album 'Captain of None' which is out now on Thrill Jockey. It's a special "Thank You Jamaica" mix that is clearly dear to her heart and she tells us a little more about this love affair;

"My love story with Jamaican music is in three parts: first as a child in the late 70s/early 80s, when my parents bought (probably by accident) a tape containing mostly Lee Perry songs from 1976, which we would listen to on long car trips. Then in my mid-20s when I moved to Paris and bought and borrowed dozens of Jamaican reissues from the Paris music libraries – it was the first time I was listening to the music with a musician’s ear, but given my way of making music at that time (sampling from records) I ended up concentrating on other genres which could be of use as more “unrecognizable” sample-fodder. But in late 2012, just as I was recording my fourth album The Weighing of the Heart, I rediscovered the music and this time it hit me really deep – it was like my ears were finally in the right condition to really hear the music in all its amazing inventiveness, and I had also reached a point in my own way of making music where finally I could see how the Jamaican sense of freedom and experimentation could infuse my own music – and from that moment I knew in what direction I would take my next album, which became Captain of None.
This mix contains some of my favourite Jamaican music and showcases its incredible diversity, with everyone (singers, musicians, producers) at the top of their game and displaying real individuality. "

We’re long term admirers of the The Orb here at Data Transmission; known for their assimilation of deepest dub into their stratospheric sonic innovations we were more than a little excited to receive news that they would be following up the release of their second ‘History Of The Future’ compilation with a new album for German techno institution Kompakt Records this summer.

Titled ‘Moon Building 2703 AD’ the album will follow up their 2005 LP ‘Okie Dokie It's The Orb On Kompakt’ with founding member Alex Paterson describing the work as “a solid piece of music that mutates into an eight legged lunar Land Rover and takes off into a cosmic horizon of a million sounds, patterns and textures. It spins the listener on his/her head, rewiring their brains to maximum capacity, then brings them home, sweet home.”

With their new album arriving June 22nd we thought there was no better time than now to welcome the seminal outfit to deliver a mix for the DT podcast and we're delighted to inform you that they most certainly haven't disappointed. Check. It. Out.

Solid Steel in association with Serato (18th September) In Hour 1 this week we welcome The Maghreban to Solid Steel who has been making some noise with his last release on Versatile and returns with a new EP 'Now Easy' on Zoot with 3 tunes influenced by different times from his teens and is out on 28th September  http://shop.zootrecords.co.uk/album/now-easy-ep. 'Hi Top' from the EP features in his mix along with music from Mosca, Call Super, DJ Koze, Atmosfear and A Certain Ratio. He had this to say;
"I just put together a bunch of records I've been listening to, new and old, in a variety of styles. I didn't go too way off on any tangents, I tried to make it stay danceable. I hooked up a delay unit for some added oddness.”

Solid Steel (16th November) In Hour 1 we welcome Parris ahead of his new release 'Puro Rosaceaes' on Idle Hands, which features a remix by Gunnar Wendel under his KMOS alias. His previous releases have been on Tempa, Ancient Monarchy, Hemlock Recordings and The Trilogy Tapes. Over the last few years Parris has secured his position as one of the most forward thinking UK Techno producers. With music from ESG, CVX, Bruce, Mobb Deep, Joy Orbison, Craig Mack, Call Super and Nas, he had this to say about his mix;
"A snapshot of records in my collection which have influenced my own musical output mixed in with some newer bits. Wanted to create more of a mixtape, music in my record collection which comes from loads of different places and spaces but can still make sense with each other in the right context even if the tunes were made 20 years apart."Solid Steel (16th November) In Hour 1 we welcome Parris ahead of his new release 'Puro Rosaceaes' on Idle Hands, which features a remix by Gunnar Wendel under his KMOS alias.
