Solid Steel (01 FEB 2008)


Another Friday - another Solid Steel! Get in the WayBack Machine - we're heading right for 1988! Let's take it back to the Old Skool!!

Boom Monk Ben keeps it 21st Century with cuts from Diplo, Architecture In Helsinki, Digitalism and more nifty nuggets neatly selected and spliced together to get the weekend up and running.

Into hour two and its another dip into the Solid Steel archive. We go back to where it all began, a tape cassette recording from 1988 when KISS FM was still a pirate station. At this point Matt Black and Jon More had joined forces by combining their separate shows - The 'Matt Black Mastermix Party' and Jon's 'Meltdown' in what was to become Solid Steel.

The tracklist is unavailable, but expect to hear Johnny Pate, the Theme from News at Ten, acid house from Sleazy D, an interview with Techno legend Juan Atkins, plus tape hiss and adverts for record shops and club nights from the time. Proper legendary radio!

More on the vintage Solid Steel recording by Strictly Kev here as well as the rest of the vintage download over at bosbos.net. Also treat yourself to the podcast for portable audio kicks!
