One of my personal favourite samples/breaks/party mixes, but one that always annoyed me having to skip the odd track due to the cussing (mostly Kool G Rap's fault).

Selectabwoy: Give Me A Break Part II

Give Me A Break Part II - 12/10/2018 (Clean Version)

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.

THE HERBALISER HERBAL BLEND

The music from my teens. My tribute to Kool DJ Herc.

"He was a young Jamaican American and he just wanted to throw a party. His uncle had given him the best sound system in the neighborhood, yet he had no venue to play at and he was broke. What Kool Herc chose to do could have been done anywhere, but because it happened in New York, he forever changed the world.

Kool Herc brought the party to the people and set up his sound in the streets."

Bboy 80's Hip Hop with A Guy Called Gerald

Superb 1998 underground hip-hop mixtape from DJs Vadim and Prime Cuts, highly highly recommended. 
I really can't do this justice but there's a worthy write-up here http://witness-this.com/sound/vadimprimecuts-architects-of-the-great/ - to paraphrase, "DJ Vadim & Primecuts did not just record a mixtape. They delivered a sound sculpture."

One of the very first Essential Mixes. Grab a download of this fantastic two-hour set with some old school phenomenal classics on it before I get my wrist slapped and it gets taken down!

Essential Mix 1995-02-12 - Gilles Peterson, DJ Krush, and UFO

To coincide with the launch of the documentary celebrating the history of the legendary Mo' Wax Records, we asked one of our favourite Montreal DJs, Phil Larochelle, to dive into the back catalogue and record a session consisting of his all-time favourites. 

The imprint founded in 1992 by James Lavelle was home to the some of the forward-thinking genre-defying beats. From DJ Krush to DJ Shadow, Motorbass to Unkle, the label was a melting-pot of Jazz, Hip Hop, Breaks, Trip Hop, Electronica and whatever else artists felt like putting on a slice of wax.

Here we go, 80 minutes strictly for the HEADZ!

Mr Scruff: Keep It Solid Steel (2004)

With the 20th Anniversary of Ninja Tune records in full swing, DK steps into the vaults at Ninja HQ to dig out just some of the highlights over the years. This set forms part of the 4 deck AV set that he will be performing with DJ Food at the Ninja Tune XX nights around the world, so naturally it focuses on tracks that have rocked clubs over the years from the early days at Stealth to recent Solid Steel nights.
Plenty of classics from Coldcut, DJ Food, Amon Tobin and Mr Scruff, whilst Big Dada is well represented  by Roots Manuva, Ty, Spank Rock and Thunderheist, plus a few sneaky tasters from the Ninja Tune XX box set with Jammer, Diplo, United States of Audio and Seiji turning out an excellent remix of Timber.

Solid Steel Radio Show 17/9/2010 Part 1 + 2 - DK

* Message me if you have any copyright issues *

Home of my own mixes - predominantly jungle/hardcore with the odd bit of D&B, plus eclectic sample-digging, breaks and hip-hop, techno & electronica. 

Pre-2001, all mixes vinyl; Post-2016, all mixes digital (DJay 2); Post-2018, Ableton Live. Why? Why not?
I've got an old skool DJ's mentality, early influences ranging from Sublove, Ratty, Randall & Hype to Coldcut, DJ Juice, MK & Primo.  In the early 00s I turned my back on D&B, retired my turntables in favour of family/work commitments, and got into funk, soul, reggae and so on... a lot of this driven by curiosity around the sample roots of hardcore and jungle.  Forward another decade and an early mid-life crisis saw me messing around with virtual decks on my phone, and later acquiring a vinyl ripper, with one vision in mind: making mixes.
Although I'm partial to the odd DJay or vinyl mix when I get the chance, the progression into Ableton Live was a simple means to an end.  My ideas stretch further than the limitations of my physical collection and real-time mixing, and by sequencing I can pick, choose, chip away and structure mixes at my leisure. Which I do... a lot :)

Wait, there's more ... an absolute stack of classic golden era/old skool hip-hop/turntablism, jungle and d&b, hardcore, techno and house mixes retrieved from my dusty tape & CD archives.  This includes (by my reckoning) the most exhaustive collections of classic Full Cycle and Sublove Galaxy Radio shows, live Ruffneck Ting jungle tapes, loads of studio & compilation mixes, all manner of rave tapes, and so on. 
Use the playlist shortcuts (top of spotlight) to find your way around. 

Have fun, spread the love :)
