beats, funky rock, hip hop, techno, drum and bass, soundtracks, world
music, poetry, electronic oddities and even a children's story. The

*** 23.08.04 Solid Steel - Carnival! ***
This week (23rd to 30th) DK opens with a new track from Ubiquity Records
artist and Ninja favorite, As One. There's plenty more from the Ubiquity
stable plus cuts from Dead Prez, Freddie Cruger and Gil Scott heron. As
it's UK summer Bank Holiday weekend, many in London head down to the
legendary Notting Hill carnival so fittingly we close the first hour with
a few soundsystem classics. Into hour two and we continue the carnival
vibe with our guest mixer, DJ Lean. Hailing from Bristol in the wild west
of England, he delights us with a quick fire selection including tracks
from Lloyd Price, Edith Piaf, Archie Bell, De La Soul and many more.
Watch out for some comedy drops and a scratch work out. For the last
30 minutes it all about DK getting soulful on your asses with both old
and new styles thrown into the melting pot. New music from Mark Rae and
another from As One (a Weldon Irvine cover) stand up well against the
original masters Leroy Hutson and Jeffree. Viva the carnival spirit!

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.

your friends hear about it!" - Alan Cain (Listener)
