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.

Mix of the Week #456: Jazz N Palms

Welcome visitor to a brandnew edition of my Quiet Dawn mixtape series focusing on ...Folk Psych Funk.
As the 1960s melted into the ’70s in a colourful swirl of musical possibility, bands and singer-songwriters were experimenting with newfound freedoms. The psychedelic era had brought about many changes and much political upheaval in its wake. Discrete genres became fluid. Many acts fused different sounds together. Rock would meet jazz. Soul was mixed with psychedelia. In this fecund environment the nebulous yet highly prized form of folk funk emerged.

In what’s become a goldmine for crate-digging hip-hop and electronic music producers, keen to find an obscure and funky sample not yet rinsed out or carrying the threat of litigation, folk funk is a blend of acoustic guitars, looping repetitive grooves, jazz touches and full fat drum breaks.

You hear classics of the genre from Kenny Rankin or Terry Callier ,rare new discoveries by Quiet World or Kathi Smith and a killer new psychedelic take on the afro samba classic canto de lemanya. 
Turn on, tune in, drop out.
I wish you  a happy  festive season!  TW

VA QUIET DAWN III a killing me softly with..Folk Psych Funk mixtape by Tom Wienland

recorded live at the Nightmares On Wax gig at the Mojo Club Hamburg november 2014

Nightmares On Wax support mix by POLYPHONIC & FELOX at the Mojo Club Hamburg 2014

Hey young world
The three kings arrived, twelve nights are almost over.
Here´s my brandnew  annual mixtape related to the cosmic, spiritual side of Jazz & beyond, 
Sign of the times? SPIRITS HIGH ABOVE XV steps a side the beaten path of the Pharoah and tells how the seed of Coltrane & the synths of Kraftwerk absorbed the musical vision of a new world in 1970´s Germany. The dreams of the 68 generation were already broken and longhaired Krauts started to discover the world ,eastern and far away philosopy & exotc rhythm and sounds. Escapism at it´s best, here´s some of my last years vinyl finds,all made in Krautistan, mostly small label stuff and private pressings, plus an unreleased goodie.
Tune in & never give up.
Peace
Tom Wieland

Ps. WARNING:this one is not for the jazz purist out there. You´re listening to some deep psyched   outernational sounds and there´s even some synths bleeping.

In Hour 2 we welcome Khruangbin , the Texan trio who take influence from 1960's Thai funk (their name literally translates to "Engine Fly" in Thai ) and include Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald “DJ” Johnson on drums. Their debut album from 2015 ‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ is steeped in the bass heavy, psychedelic sound of their inspirations and was recorded at their spiritual home, a remote barn deep in the Texas countryside. The band listened to a lot of different types of music on the long drives out to the country but their favorites were 60s and 70s Thai cassettes gleaned from the cult Monrakplengthai blog and compilations of southeast Asian pop, rock and funk. Their mix is a sublime selection of music that includes Arthur Verocai, Return to Forever, Serge Gainsbourg, Miles Davis and some incredibly rare records from Christy Azuma, Ahmed Fakroun and Theodora Ifudu. You can catch them playing alongside Kendrick Lamar, Jamie XX and Kamasi Washington in Hyde Park, London on 2nd July, their US Tour kicks off in September and they have a remix release coming out in early June.
