No comments!! I can't complain as someone who frequently reads comments and doesn't reply...but OK I'm going to have to explain how important the Avalanches are to DJing.  In the early days of mixing, the DJ's that played Eclectic shit were generally turntable artists, lots of scratching and technical skills with fucking with turntables and mixers.  One of the Avalanches members is pro at this.  DJ Dexter who consistently wins the Australian chapter of the DMC championships.  As shit evolves though DJ's start to think maybe we can blend music from all sorts of different genre's to create a kind of steady flow of music that transgresses boundaries, but still scratch a lot and shit.  As a young DJ Avalanches mixes blew my mind by discovering that every fucking genre in the universe can fit into a mixed album and actually sound like a natural flow.  DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist desrve a shoiut-out to this too but still they couldn't blend like The Avalanches

White light mixed w varying hues of neon green, maybe even gold

Shades of green so neon theyre almost yellow, its unreal

Sharing these legendary mixes because they are difficult to find!

Solid Steel in association with Serato (1st May) We continue celebrating the relaunch of the Solid Steel website http://www.solidsteel.net  with the return of Four Tet and an exclusive mix alongside Anthony Naples for a TEXT Records special. Four Tet first appeared on Solid Steel back in 2001 and you can now hear this mix in the Featured section on the website, along with another mix from 2002 (which also featured Bonobo, DJ Food and DK as part of the Solid Steel Tour retrospective.) We also feature a 2001 mix from Koushik, who was the first artist to release an EP on Text Records.

Four Tet is up first digging deep with a vinyl only selection and as with one of his previous shows, there's no track list, but you can see a photo of the the album covers for every record in the background image to his mix at http://www.solidsteel.net
He had this to say about his mix;

"My latest Solid Steel mix uses music from all over the world but most of it chosen because it sounds like it comes from another world. These are all older records and things I have been listening to recently and have discovered on my endless search for music."

Four Tet has produced the latest single by Roots Manuva and you can get Facety 2:11 on Monday 4th May http://ninjatune.net/release/roots-manuva/facety-2-11
