SOLID STEEL - THE BROADEST BEATS - COLDCUT & FRIENDS BROADCASTING LIVE
Brought to you by the show's hosts, Coldcut - and often featuring a
fabulous line-up of guest mixes. Solid Steel is a 2 hour show in a
4 x 30 minute mixes format.
(http://www.ninjatune.net) Now in it's 13th year, Solid Steel continues
to broadcast arguably the most diverse selection of music to be heard on
one radio show. Where else can you enjoy anything from jazz, brakes and
beats, funky rock, hip hop, techno, drum and bass, soundtracks, world
music, poetry, electronic oddities and even a children's story. The
emphasis is on mixing seamlessly between styles with love and feeling
rather than being wilfully obscure. The show is sonically constructed
as a 'journeys by DJ' every week.
>> the ninja crew love to hear from their fans! <<
Under the Tronik Breaks banner, we are proud to bring you this
fantastic show.
Shazam!

*** 09.02.04 Solid Steel - Sketches of (solid) Steel ***
Coldcut, Ninja label founders and 'daddies' open the show this week
(9th to 16th) with a mix heavy on Ninja shizzle because we've got a
greatest hits collection out and as Miles once said 'sometimes you've
got to blow your own trumpet'. Just to keep a balance Fourtet, The
Ethiopeans and Steve Reich also get a look in.The guest mix comes
from DJ Fatkut from Barcelona, who was one of the stars of the last
Sonar festival. Going by his mix he is a bit of a Jazzanova fan which
is good news as the featured 'Another New Day' is one of our
favourite tunes (those strings sure sound familiar).
*** The Solid Steel crew have a BBC 6 Mix coming up soon... please be
sure to flood the BBC with emails of Solid Steel praise. Let's see if
we can't get The Broadest Beats onto the BBC full time! ***

BIOGRAPHY - SOLID STEEL - (A BRIEF HISTORY)
Coldcut first started Solid Steel back in 1988 on the London pirate station
Kiss FM. Jonathan More had been involved with the station since it's
inception in 1985 hosting the Meltdown parties. Matt Black joined in early
1987 with his Mixmaster Dance Party. As Coldcut, they joined forces to
present the fledgling Solid Steel. It soon became a regular event as
listeners tuned in religiously to tape their weekly fix of audio madness.
Coldcut ran Solid Steel on Kiss FM right up until spring 1999, winning a
1996 Sony Award for Specialist Show along the way.
From its inception Solid Steel presented arguably the finest and most
diverse selection of music to be heard on one radio show. The emphasis is on
mixing many styles seemlessly, from jazz to electronic oddities, from hip
hop to poetry. There are no records or styles deemed unnacceptable, even a
children's story has featured in one particularly wigged out show. Another
unique element is the way 100's of spoken word samples are used to tie the
music together, a style often imitated but never bettered elsewhere on
radio. Each mix becomes a mini masterpiece.
Solid Steel has innovated, shocked and, on occasion, annoyed (which is what
the best radio is all about). Guests have included Jean Jacques Perry, De La
Soul, Tortoise, DJ Shadow, David Axelrod, Squarepusher, Company Flow and
Alec Empire (and people still get dewy-eyed over the historic Coldcut versus
The Orb special from back in 1992).
It's popularity and uniqueness has also led to radio syndications all around
the world. The show is currently broadcast in over 20
countries from Slovakia to New Zealand, from America to Poland, and
syndicated on the Student Broadcast Network across the UK. The show is also
available on the internet and there is a lively trade on the Ninja forum
(and other sites) swapping tapes of shows from all eras of the programme and
even websites devoted solely to solidifying steel. It is a beautiful and
edifying thing.
"SS is kinda like the big brother you want to get you into cool music before
your friends hear about it!" - Alan Cain (Listener)
