*** 23.02.04 Solid Steel - Double Order of Coldcuts ***
You get a double dose of the mighty Coldcut on Solid Steel this week
(23rd to 1st). Anyone who has seen the guys at the recent Zen TV gigs
know that there's no one who mixes it up quite like them - listen out
for their excellent '7 Nation Rip Off' - who'd have thought that
Jack White's guitar would go so well with some wonky acid. The guest
mix is by JFB from Pressure Drops' One Eye label who brings his own
unique style of turntabalism, utilising drum'n'bass, hip-hop, breaks
and jazz flavours. Coldcut finish the show with some easily
digestible beauties from Robert Wyatt, Hall & Oates and Chairman of
The Board. Sometimes nothing else will do.
*** how about sending some emails to the bbc in support of solid steel?
the crew just guest hosted the BBC 6Mix on Sunday. Send emails saying
"we want more" of this sort of thing and get the SS team back on the
airwaves.

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)
