*** 28 April 2006 - Solid Steel - Granddaddy of the Cut-Up!! ***
This week (28th April) we have a special mix from the granddaddy of
the cut up the one and only Steinski. On the eve of a rare appearance
in Europe supporting De La Soul at London's Jazz Cafe on May 1st
Steinski showcases the kind of material you have been and will be
swinging an arm and leg to. Music in the blender from MC Alessandrina
Bohannon Kurtis Blow and a couple of exclusives from the hard drives.
Hour 2 sees Montrealer Ghislain Poirier take to the tables. His obsession
with big dirty beats ragga style riddims and deconstructed hip-hop has
lead to collaborations with the likes of Beans TTC Lotek Hi-Fi and a
remix for UK first lady Lady Sovereign. Poirier can be found throwing
around dirtiness at his monthly DJ night in Montreal Bounce le Gros".
Tres bien DK pulls the blinds down on another edition with Weather
Report Loka and Jung Collective. Bon nuit!

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.
