So many samples from this set that bring back memories of digging through crates of vinyl

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.

Mr Scruff B2B Turbojazz - The Bounce, Milan (September 2024)

Produced by one of electronic music’s most exciting voices, NYC’s Machinedrum, "Like a Drum" is the second cut from Roots Manuva's new single Facety 2:11.

In his inimitable words, the single is "a wee spring warmer in voodoo coptic dialect shape shifting: the remit the same as ever in awakening one’s inner, modern-day Sun Ra, ODB and Kate Bush on an overdrive of 'doing because we can't help ourselves…’"

Zipperface Goth-Trad Remix is Out Now:
https://thepopgroup.lnk.to/TGP-RMX

Japan’s very own ‘Sound Originator’ Takeaki Maruyama aka Goth-Trad has produced a monumental remix of The Pop Group’s first single Zipperface from their new album Honeymoon On Mars

An indispensable ringleader in Tokyo’s dubstep scene and a prolific proponent of raw dubwise futurism Goth-Trad released his first solo record in 2004. After supporting The Mars Volta on their Japanese tour the same year, he followed his promising debut with the eclectic experimentations of 2005’s 'Mad Raver’s Dance Floor', a record which scored him international success with the enduring early dubstep classic 'Back to Chill'. His fourth European tour in 2006 saw him link up with Mala of Digital Mystikz at the seminal dubstep night FWD>> and a subsequent appearance on the renowned Deep Medi Musik label represented a watershed moment. A flurry of releases on the likes of Skud Beats and Soul Jazz Records as well as appearances at DMZ and support from The Bug, Kode9 and Mary Anne Hobbs subsequently established his place in the continuum of contemporary bass music.  

On his reworking of Zipperface, Goth-Trad takes the original into infernal depths and draws out oppressive levels of tension infusing Dennis Bovell’s prior mixing desk manipulations with sparse soundsystem brutality.

The original Zipperface single is available on the new album Honeymoon On Mars. Out Now: https://ThePopGroup.lnk.to/HoneymoonOnMars

The single is taken from the 10 track album produced by dub titan Dennis Bovell, who worked on The Pop Group's seminal debut album 'Y', and Hank Shocklee, producer of Public Enemy’s iconic first three albums as a member of the Bomb Squad. Honeymoon On Mars was released through Freaks R Us on Friday October 28th 2016.

Solid Steel (21st October) Tom Misch is our guest in Hour 1, the multi talented musician and beatmaker from London drops a mix with some unreleased gems ahead of his US and European tour, which is already sold out in many places. Following the success of Beat Tape 1 & 2, he released his first solo EP 'Revereie' earlier this year and an album is due out in 2017. You can get more info at http://www.tommisch.com and he had this to say about his mix;
"The mix is mostly a representation of a phase in my life when I was heavily into old school hiphop instrumentals and jazz. I still am today but I've moved onto to other stuff; at the moment I'm crazy about disco and more uptempo vibes. This mix is not about my mixing skills or transitions into tracks but more of a mood setter and insight into music I've been into. It's got some unreleased beats and bootlegs from years ago. "

Solid Steel Radio Show 21/10/2016 Hour 1 - Tom Misch

Solid Steel (18th November) 20 years ago this weekend in November 1996, Josh Davis aka DJ Shadow released his landmark album 'Endtroducing'. It was made almost entirely of samples and with the help of his Akai MPC60, he produced an iconic album that sits firmly in many top album lists. To celebrate this anniversary, Mighty Atom has put together an amazing tribute mix deconstructing the album and rebuilding it track by track, sample by sample, along with some remixes, covers and interview clips. 
As with previous tribute mixes for The Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Nas, De La Soul and Beck, it's done with the same attention to detail. We also have an archive DJ Shadow Solid Steel mix from 2000 at SolidSteel.net plus an interview he did with Coldcut as part of the Quannum Projects release on Ninja Tune that year. 
The Endtroducing - 20th Anniversary Endtrospective Edition is available now with remixes by Clams Casino, Hudson Mohawke, Salva, Prince Paul, Bondax, Karma Kid and more.

Solid Steel Radio Show 18/11/2016 Hour 1 - Mighty Atom - Endtroducing Tribute Mix

Cut Chemist returns with a live mix at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery for Cinespia's screening of E.T. The Extra Terrestrial in 2011. Ive chosen to share it now to celebrate 30 years since the movie's release. Psychadelic space and 80s classics mix (Edit..ehem) because who needs to hear two whole verses of Kim Wilde nowadays?!?

"...E.T. Touch Down!!!"

E.T. Extra Twisted

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

One hour mix dedicated to the legendary Mo'Wax label.

Bangers & Mash (Mo'Wax Edition)

Solid Steel (24th May) Following on from last year's treatment of 'Paul's Boutique' (by DJ Food, Cheeba and Moneyshot), United States of Audio does the same with De la Soul's groundbreaking album 3 Feet High and Rising. It's not just a mix, but more like an audio documentary about an album that is also about to celebrate it's 25th anniversary. In his own words;
'Several years in the making and including around 100 tracks, this is my personal tribute to De La Soul's '3 Feet High and Rising'. Using original sample sources, album tracks, interviews and rarities, 'How High's The Water Mama' tells the story of one of hip hop's most influential albums.
When De La Soul's debut album dropped in 1989 I was ten years old. Yet, by some stroke of amazing good fortune a cassette copy of '3 Feet High and Rising' found its way into my hands thanks to my best mate's older brother (though I'm pretty sure said brother had no idea of this fact!). The music was a revelation and had a significant influence in shaping my musical tastes - in fact I can't think of any other album that has had such a profound effect on me as this one. Thus '3 Feet High and Rising' holds a special place in my musical affections. Now, some twenty-five years after its original release, it's time to pay my respect to Pos, Dove, Mase, and Prince Paul...'
