from a ninja tune e-mail:
Well that was the last Solid Steel to be broadcast on BBC London and
a great show to end it on (note the significant choice of tracks all
lovingly mixed together).
However, Solid Steel will continue to be broadcast each week on the
Ninja Tune web site and on 30 stations around the world.
Check out http://www.ninjatune.net/solidsteel for all the details and
to listen to the latest shows.
Coldcut, Strictly Kev, DK and everyone else at Solid Steel would like
to thank all our listeners for their support this week, the response
has been amazing from all around the world.
If you would still like to express your opinion about the program
A massive thanks for the amazing response that we've had from
everyone. The incredible amount of e-mail's has been both touching
and encouraging (and believe me they are reading them). It has shown
that the passion we have for the show is shared by many.
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. Solid
Steel is now happily ensconced in its new home on BBC London Live.
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, <http://www........>, and of course the scene ... shhh)
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.
