Yeee part II

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, 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.

Your favourite Coldcut mix was the 'Journeys by DJ Special' from 20th May 2002. The original '70 minutes of Madness' was released in 1995 and often considered "the best DJ mix album of all time" and this mix coincided with it's reissue in 2002. It features extra tracks that didn't appear on the original CD including the Coldcut rework of 'People hold on'

Unsurprisingly, the most popular mix for DJ Cheeba, DJ Moneyshot and DJ Food was their epic version of the Beastie Boys‘ ‘Paul’s Boutique’ album from 31st August 2012 made entirely from the original sample sources titled ‘Caught In The Middle Of A 3-Way Mix’ . Each of them took a third of the album to work on and combined their efforts into a mix that will make you hear it in a new way. Aside from the original sample sources they’ve included commentary from the Beasties, vintage interviews, demo versions and much more.

Finally it was the Hexstatic mix from 28th January 2011 which was your favourite, with the classic Royksopp remix of KOC, leading into the lovely electronica Two Dots by Lusine. SBTRKT's remix of Modeselektors 'Art&Cash' leads perfectly into material from Robin Hexstatic's project, plus music from  Magnetic Man, Andreya Triana and Dave Angel.

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 27/12/2013 Part 3 + 4 - Coldcut, DJ Food, DJ Cheeba, DJ Moneyshot, Hexstatic

Solid Steel (7th February) In Hour 1 we welcome The Gaslamp Killer to start off the show. It's a mix of some of GLK's favourite current alternative groups specialising in the dark psychedelic side of rock and the harder edged beat music that he loves so much. Plus a couple of world psych classics in the middle, from fast to slow around we go, always a narrative journey with GLK.
DK continues with the beautiful collaboration between Debruit & Alsarah and onto the new Mount Kimbie remix for Kelis on Ninja Tune and the current single by Falty DL. Then it's a track from the Actress album Ghettoville and into the dub mix of classic 80's Boogie from Barbara Fowler, before ending with Cottam and Instra:mental from the last few years.

Translation Recordings boss `Rogue State` and Offworld recordings boss `LM1` team up for one of their toughest sounding releases in a nefarious mix of old vs new .
The ep kicks off with big hitter `Floorplay`, mixing up chunky breaks and tech synths with a big bassline. `Salvation` continues the assault which could be the soundtrack to an uprising featuring huge pads and breaks and a commanding bass before finishing off with `True Face`, a dark reese based revelation. 

Dj Support from : Technimatic, Stunna, Future Engineers, Electrosoul system, LM1, Mav, Rotation Deep, Monochrome Recs, Rogue State, Method One, Overfiend, Pbk, Scenic & Advisory.

Solid Steel (21st March) It's two guests in Hour 1 starting with the return of Neuropol ahead of the release of his new EP on Monday. It's a mix that took in a snapshot of the vast array of music that has inspired him in his own productions and it also includes a couple of cuts from his forthcoming Warning Ep on SGN:LTD. As with his productions he focused on the contrast between emotion/depth and tough beats and bass, with tracks from Moresounds, Fracture, Sam Binga and DBridge.

While The Upbeats may explain their choice of album title with the humble statement “We’re not super tech geeks, we’ve always felt our approach to production is quite simple.” Anyone who knows anything about this duo’s music can tell you that the end results sound far from primitive. The cheeky-grinned New Zealanders have filled dance floors and iPod playlists around the world with their unique take on drum & bass for nearly a decade, yet their music is sounding fresher than ever; as their impressive new album is about to prove.

‘Primitive Technique’ is an album that caters to many but compromises for no one, and with techniques that may be primitive The Upbeats have crafted an album that sounds undeniably modern.

The Upbeats - Beyond Reality

Aliman - 24hours EP OUT NOW

Lighterman  artist biog

Rory Wells AKA "Lighterman" spent the early days of Jungle and Drum N Bass pushing the sound he loved by promoting events and DJing in his home town of Luton before getting bitten by the production bug in 1999.



Drawing influence from his early years Lighterman pushes the more clean cut prototype jungle sounds that could take you right back to the Metalheadz golden blue note Sunday sessions era. With a love for tight break beats rather than the normal 2 step patterns Lighterman's music has been likened to early Photek and Hidden agenda style tracks as well as laying host to a whole new future jungle vibe.

With a work ethos of making every track sound individual from the last Lighterman pushes the boundary's with every track he writes and is keen for people to understand that he is an experimental artist who makes each track its own rather than following the shape of the last.

Lighterman is all ways hunting for new styles of music out side of the DNB scene from which to draw influences from to try and bring new and exiting ideas into his production to keep him one step ahead of the crowd.
