Solid Steel (12th May) In Hour 1 we welcome Trackstar the DJ, who is the tour DJ for Run The Jewels and is known for his prolific mixtape work. He has played hundreds of venues and dozens festivals all over the world, including Madison Square Garden, Coachella, and Glastonbury, where he returns with Killer Mike and EL-P on 24th June and Field Day on 3rd June. He told us;
 "Originally I had other plans for a more conceptual mix, but as I was telling The Gaslamp Killer about my ideas on our tour date in Belgium, he told me not to bother with any of them and instead do a mix displaying what he called "My Rare Appetite In Rap". I trust The Gaslamp Killer (as you should, too), so I immediately switched gears and started putting together a playlist of songs from the last half-decade or so that I love that many rap fans may have missed. It features some names you'll recognize as well as some that you may not… Hopefully you enjoy these tunes as much as I do, and maybe pick up a new favorite artist or two.”

Solid Steel Radio Show 12/5/2017 Hour 1 - Trackstar The DJ (Run The Jewels)

After the soul ballads warm up the party, drop this deep funk dance floor mix for the prime time party

Deep Funk

Solid Steel in association with Serato (31st August) 3 years ago Solid Steel DJs Cheeba, Moneyshot and Food had the idea of collaborating on a version of the Beastie Boys‘ ‘Paul’s Boutique’ album made entirely from the original sample sources, shortly after Moneyshot aired his mix of their ‘Check Your Head’ album in the same way. 

Finally the result is here, titled ‘Caught In The Middle Of A 3-Way Mix’ - each of them have taken 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.

The mix was over half way completed when they heard the tragic news of MCA‘s death in May so the impetus to finish it was instantly doubled and new meaning given to the project. It goes without saying that this is also a tribute to Adam Yauch and the legacy he left behind and we hope it will be embraced by Beastie fans around the globe.

Solid Steel Radio Show 31/8/2012 Part 1 + 2 - DJ Cheeba + DJ Moneyshot + DJ Food

3 years in the making, 3 DJs working with over 150 tracks to recreate one of the seminal sampling albums of all time. Cheeba, Moneyshot and I bring you ‘Caught In The Middle Of A 3-Way Mix’, our tribute to the classic Beastie Boys album ‘Paul’s Boutique’. Remixed and re-imagined from all the original samples plus a cappellas, period interviews and the Beasties’ own audio commentary from the reissued release.

Add to this a custom illustration from Paul’s Boutique super-fan and all-round great guy Jim Mahfood, and you have an alternate version of the album. The mix was over half way finished when we heard the tragic news of Adam Yauch‘s passing this May so this is also our nod to his memory, RIP MCA.

Big respect to Cheeba and Moneyshot for all their hard work and for the latter for inspiring the project with his classic mix of their ‘Check Your Head’ three years ago. Obviously massive respect goes out to The Beasties, The Dust Brothers, Mario C. and all involved in the making of the original album.

Caught In The Middle of A 3-Way Mix

"We were on one of our many tours of the UK and Europe during this time frame, and stopped by Zane Lowe's show. All of us were crammed into a tiny session room, and went live right to air...no mistakes allowed. This was probably my favorite era in which to DJ, everyone was still using vinyl exclusively and just having fun, scratching like mad. It was me and Chief XCel on the turntables, and Gift Of Gab, Lyrics Born, and Lateef The Truthspeaker on the mic." - DJ Shadow

From the DJ Shadow Archives - DJ Shadow & The Quannum Crew Live on BBC Radio 1 (2000)

"I had a blast putting this show together, and just threw everything I had at it. Hopefully the effort shows the level of my respect for Gilles...I didn't want to come with anything less than my best. I'm particularly proud of the mixes. I think it's safe to say that a definitive playlist of this show could never/ will never be accomplished." - DJ Shadow

From the DJ Shadow Archives - Gilles Peterson 6 Music Takeover 2018 (Hour 1)

"In 2009, I was asked to play the video game convention E3 in support of the release of Activision's DJ Hero. There were only two rules: include some of the mash-ups I made for the game, and no cursing please. I obliged (mostly), and there's some fun moments....recorded several months before the 2009 Halloween set, this is less about the dance floor than an attempt to reference the broader contributions of the DJ and DJ-based music. Watch out for the Coldplay/Bonecrusher mash-up, which is one of my favorite things I ever did."- DJ Shadow

From The DJ Shadow Archives - E3 All Vinyl Set Part 1 (2009)

In 2009, I consulted for, and appeared in, Activision's DJ Hero video game.   As part of my involvement, I performed at quite a few industry events and eventually did a couple of club dates.  Some of these sets were more rehearsed than others, and the quality varied.  This one, recorded live on Halloween night at a KCRW benefit, was far and away my favorite of the bunch...both in terms of technical display and song selection.  I'll post some of the other recorded sets later, there's some nice moments along the way.- DJ Shadow

DJ Shadow Live in Los Angeles, CA - Halloween, 2009

"If you're having a difficult time identifying any of these tracks, there's a reason for that...they're all derived from vintage demo cassettes, most of which were unheard by the general public until this mix.  It's something I had been planning for some time, and it all feeds back into the 'crate digger' aesthetic I've always valued so much as a DJ.  When the mix originally aired, I had to edit some of the language, so here it is for the first time in full uncensored glory."

-DJ Shadow

DJ Shadow Essential Mix 2016 (Hour 2)

"Based on the favorable listener response to the first mix, I was invited back for more. If you thought the first mix was wild, this one is even further out there. Maybe TOO out there, based on the grumbling at the station during the first few minutes (ha). Much love to everyone at KMEL who allowed a young teenager with big ideas the opportunity to do something different."- DJ Shadow

DJ Shadow KMEL Mix #2 (1991)

This is one of my favourite mixes in recent years, it encompasses so much different music that I love, both old and new. It also finishes a trilogy of mixes that showcase the three EPs that made up 'The Search Engine' album and some of the records that influenced the making of it. Originally aired on Solid Steel in Oct 2011, the 'Magpies, Maps & Moons Reader accompanies the EP of the same name plus much more.
