*** 12 AUGUST 2005 Solid Steel - The Ebay 7inch Selection!!!! ***
This week (12th August) Strictly Kev breaks the ice with a special dusty
trip down memory lane. Earlier this year Strictly bid for a box of 7"s
on ebay along with the one and only Steinski, the seller would only
deliver to the States so, thankfully for Strictly, Steinski bought
them over when he played at the June Solid Steel night in London. He
also made two special short mixes for the Ruby Lo set which we present
here along with the highlights of the famous 7" selection including
grooves from Dr Donald B Louria, John Rydgren and Jerry Samuels. Diggin'!
Strictly Steel style. Into hour two and we hand over to Future World
Funk. DJ's Russ and Cliffy have been bringing world music to the dance
floor for years and recently gave us their On the Run compilation. This
mix encompasses many world flavors with a distinctly dance floor edge.
Music in the mix from Punjabi MC, La Factoria, Grupo Batuque, JB Baile
and more to have you and yours freakin' out all week long!

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)
