Solid Steel Radio Show 23/8/2013 Part 3 + 4 - Boca 45

Solid Steel (13th September) We welcome London Elektricity to the show having appeared 4 times from '99 to 2002 and as always, we wanted something a little different. Here in his own words;
"I'm known for being a d&b DJ who leans towards the eccentric side, so here's a mix that represents the weird and wonderful music that keeps me from falling asleep whilst driving home from a night club. Most of these records were blind purchases - or should that be deaf purchases - I bought the records on the strength of the artwork alone, usually featuring improbably large breasted and frankly weird looking women silhouetted against a backdrop of Hawaii. This is music to perhaps help you dream of summer, or maybe to prepare you for your own demise. That not withstanding remember this: I know what it is to be young, but you, you don't know what it is to be old."

Solid Steel (23rd May) In Hour 1 we're delighted to welcome Leon Vynehall to the show. Following his recent release on Martyn's 3024 label, he delivers an exclusive mixtape of his own unreleased edits just for Solid Steel. He told us;
"I had a bit of time off after I finished Music For The Uninvited, so I pulled out a bunch of records and made some early 90s hip-hop and decided to make a mixtape. I've been fortunate enough to have some friends sing and mc on it too."
Those friends include Ava Trilling, Speelburg, Kasflow and Rosalind for a sublime selection of beats, including his 'vynedit' of the classic Broad Factor by Quasimoto.

The rhythm section holding it down is Jake Sanders, Dalton Ridenhour, Jared Engel, and Jeremy Noller.

I Know How To Do It

This is the 12th and final track on our debut self-titled album ~ Naomi & Her Handsome Devils.  
"What Can I Say Dear After I Say I'm Sorry" is a sweet tune that I discovered via Nat King Cole, and I love the delicate touch the Devils gave it.  Listen especially to the perfect ending Dalton (piano) and Jared (bass) came up with in the studio.

Solid Steel (3rd October) It's a pleasure to welcome Rob da Bank to Solid Steel. He was at Radio 1 for over a decade before moving to 6 Music, the founder of Bestival and Sunday Best Recordings and played at the Solid Steel club night in 2004. This is what he said about his mix;
‘I get pretty bored DJing if i can only play one style, which you can definitely tell in this mix. It's more of a collage of old and new tracks I might play as a warm up set than a seamless mix. i actually much prefer being the warm up dj and being able to play loads of styles. The pressure's off and you can go off kilter. The trip takes in vintage electronica from the likes of Mixmaster Morris, Aphex and Squarepusher, some old trip hoppy bits, brand spanking new electronic fire from Redinho, Bonobo and Clark and a few classics from the likes of DJ Mink and LFO - its a mix for a boring car journey or a night drinking whisky round a campfire…it starts off slow and noodly and somehow ends up pounding and fist pumping…like all the best parties.’

Crystal Fighters vocalist Kyiki is spreading her wings and venturing off on her own solo project and after collaborations with pop/house producer Moon Boots and some behind the scenes songwriting she is readying some serious solo material. Her latest offering One is a slice of dark yet uplifting synth pop which is one side to this lady who is, as this mix tells, full of music knowledge (with some damn good taste). For people who like to get weird, this ones for you.

In Hour 2 it's Seb Roachford from Polar Bear to guide us through the second half. Their album 'Same As You' is out now on the excellent Leaf Label and you can catch them live at Village Underground for the album launch on 8th April. Seb told us;
'I guess this mix is new tunes I'm enjoying listening to at the moment, from these I seem to like being in an american psychedelic/dreamy place at the moment.
Also, other music I always go back to, like Ellington and early Lee scratch perry
My sisters husband is a northern soul DJ and played this Mike Pedicin song at their wedding
Then its back to the desert!!!
After this is a Calvin Harris track I heard a lot on the radio in the desert and decided to change a bit
Then there is Hannah darlings band and some native american music I found on YouTube that blew my mind harmonically'

In hour 2 Coldcut's mix from July got your vote with a live DJ set from Matt Black at the Energy Union party in Brussels. It starts with classic selections from Kwanzaa Posse, Armando Trovajol, Mr Scruff and a KC Flightt hip house track from '87. Then it's the Redshape remix of Martyn's 'Seventy Four' and we keep the pace with DJ Naughty and the epic Seiji mix of 'Timber'.

DJ Food aka Strictly Kev's mix from October was a favaourite,  celebrating the release of his third EP - 'Magpies, Maps & Moons' and he compiled a 'Magpie Reader' full of tracks from it, his collaborators and influences. Featuring exclusive unreleased tracks and remixes as well as his trademark spoken word treasures it's a sonic guide to where his head is at and paves the way for his album in January.

This week Strictly digs into his extensive DJ Shadow collection (we're talking completist here) and brings us the 2 mixes that he created for the recent XFM special on the man. The first 10 minutes showcase the ambient soundscape side of Shadow's music, increasingly rarer in recent years with not a beat in sight. The last 20 minutes are all guns-blazing, beat-rocking, classic-plundering goodness, as you would expect. 
The final half hour sees a little known mix veteran make his Solid Steel debut, New Yorker Ill Chemist aka Alan Friedman, sometime Steinski associate and man behind the mysterious Break Beatles of old. His 'Too Much Information' half hour will jerk you out of your seat and make musical connections you never knew existed but were right under your nose all the time. What a show!

Ross Allen in his own words about Solid Steel;

"Is it really 25 years of Solid Steel ? Jeez, I know I  getting old ! I remember ‘bunking off’ from my first proper job, at the Midland Bank in the City, on a Friday afternoon, not having had a lunch so I could get home to check and tape the impeccable selections (and mixes) of Matt Black and Jonathan More.
 
Whilst at school I had listened to their separate shows on Fridays/Saturdays on,the then totally essential (for any aspiring London trendy), Kiss 94FM.

 I loved their presentation -downbeat, articulate and heavy on the sarcasm,  and their selections. their take on the nascent London Soul Underground, was as fresh and open minded as the original Hip Hop blueprint. And they dug… Deeper and broader than the rest. You could hear anything that was good on there. New, old and more often than not essential !
 
This mix is an homage to the selections (not the mixing !) that shaped my young musical mind. They, and others, warped it in the best way. It’s a burden I have long carried: i am officially (I wont bore you with the details) too eclectic for my own good and it was these two, and that show, that made me this way.
 
I never understand why anyone would want it any other wayThere is too much good music from across the genres to focus on one and, when put together properly, they sound best when woven into a whole new tapestry. This is what Coldcut did and subsequently PC, DK and Strictly Kev continued to do right up to the present day. It’s a good man who knows when not enter the fray,  and with regards to the master mix I am that man. I know my place… For the record this is a blend coz’ I can’t test !
 
This collection is small selection of the music that I recall hearing on the radio, in or out of the mix, on their show/s. It reflects the open mindedness of two of British Hip Hop’s greatest pioneers.

 For it is a Hip Hop that roots this selection. always looking for the perfect beat whether that be Little Sonny, The Vibrettes, MC 900ft Jesus or Salt N Pepa or looking for the future sounds of Unique 3, Aphex Twin and early Model 500 or scanning the planet for sounds with soul and a groove; from Pakistan’s Nusrat Ali Fat Khan to Mali’s then, cassette only, sensation Oumou Sangare. 

They captured the mood of a very creative time in electronic/black music. A time when the music went from being the underground black alternative sounds of electro funk to the over ground successes that are modern Hip Hop. electronic music too was rapidly evolving then in all its many strands. It is Interesting to note Back then they were often the same thing. The music was the DNA that iginited the revolution and in the middle of it blending all these deep and different strands together were Coldcut and Solid Steel.

The inclusion of Otis Clays modern soul anthem from the late 80’s ‘The Only Way Is Up’ is, apart from it being a genius track in it’s own right, an example of how they could take a cult track, add some acid house, a pop sensibility and take an obscure southern soul gem to the top of the charts around the world. Back when DJ’s first started to take their club based aesthetic into the studio (in this country particularly) Coldcut were leading the charge. Applying all their musical knowledge to the precise and laborious task of making their own ‘Lesson’ (Double Dee & Steinski’s tryptic of cut n paste genius from the mid 80’s).It was when They first came to my attention. when Pete Tong played ‘Say Kids What Time Is it ?’ on his Invicta Radio Sunday night show (actually pretty genius at the time). It blew me, and everyone else who heard it, away. They had the best and broadest beats and unleashed them with Ninja like precision to a London Underground saturated (though nothing compared to now) with import 12’s, long deleted funk obscurities and a small trickle of UK DJ based white labels. Back then this music we are swamped in was hard to trace but elements popped up all over the place. Especially on their show. 

 
They championed the DIY punk ethos of early club music whether it be from the US, the UK, Jamaica or Japan. It was the sound of  drums, bass, samples and delays… Coldcuts on Solid Steel.

As i said earlier I used to love their presentation skills. Always understated and heavy on the irony. it was very reminiscent of John Peels selection/presentation style except blacker.  I had never heard of Fela Kuti, The Twinkle Brothers, Arthur Russell or Oumou Sangare until  here. 

I had heard of an early Boogie Down Productions but was amazed to find out on Jon’s show that Scott La Rock had been shot dead in the Bronx. Jon announcing the terrible news with the rather curt ending of “well if you will sit on your album cover brandishing an Uzi may be you should expect something like that to happen !’’
 
It’s a fair point… I think Solid Steel - ‘the broadest beats in London’ was literally all about the beats, lyrics were great when they were good but were so often a let down when compared to the presenters intellectial and political stance and the quality of many of those early leftfield, beat tastic productions. Who needs lyrics when you have beats as good as Masters At Works ‘Blood Vibes’ or ‘All The Way To Heaven’ by MC 900ft Jesus. You can basically see the birth of Trip Hop here and the birth of their now seminal label Ninja Tune.
 
The reggae influence was always strong and their open minds where the only link I had to early hardcore and Jungle sounds reflected here with Satin Storm’s Babylon sampling “Can’t Take No More” and The Ragga Twins proto Jungle gem “18’’ Speaker”. The original JA sound was always represented whether through all time classics like Bunny Wailers’ ‘Rise & Shine’, The Twinkle Brothers genius in dub ‘Magnetic Enforcer’ or the UK based roots prophet Martin Campbell who’s ‘Wicked Rule’ they helped release.
 
This selection hopes to swiftly glide you through some seminal moments in musical history that were first brought to my attention by a radio show that is now 25 years old but still carrying the same aesthetic as it always has had ‘the broadest beats’ on Solid Steel…"
