Solid Steel in association with Serato (31st December).
We finish our review of 2010 looking back at the most popular mixes by the 'Old Skool' Solid Steel residents, as voted by you the listeners. Again,'In no particular order', we start with DK's mix from March kicking off with the excellent Warrior One remix of 'Eyesdown' by Bonobo and continue in a leftfield uptempo groove with Martyn, Joy Orbison and Octa Push, before dropping the huge bomb that is the Nero remix of 'Sincere'. More bass heavy beats follow, before dropping down with new music from the legendary Gil Scott-Heron, Jay Electronica and the original from Billy Stewart.
Coldcut's mix from October was part of the Ninja Tune 20th anniversary celebrations, where they plucked out a few gems from the back catalogue as well as looking forward with tracks from the Ninja Tune XX compilation. DJ Vadim, The Bug and Ghislain Porier all feature alongside remixes of Coldcut tracks from King Jammy and United States of Audio, plus they have their own take on The Heavy's 'How you like me now'.

Hexstatic's mix from May celebrating their 'Trailer Trax' album, got your vote and it also came with it's own Video mix. Taking it's lead from the cheese of drive-in cinema trailers, 'Grindhouse' style movies and those Saturday Morning Cinema shorts of all our youths,..we see and hear these elements sliced and diced with techno, dubstep, dancehall and drum and bass rhythms into a whipped up frenzy that's 'now available in the foyer!'..... 'The Mighty Gammera' destroy Tokyo in a flash, 'Galaxy Invaders' scare rednecks with ill fitting plastic suits. Mix in some other favorites from the likes of Mantronix, Dizzee Rascal and DJ Hazard and you have one Blockbuster of a mix!
Also from May, Strictly Kev's winner brewed up a mix with a distinct whiff of Brit nostalgia taking in vintage electronica, psychedelic folk, outer space beats and deep dubstep. Moon Wiring Club, Broadcast & The Focus Group and Lost Idol all featured, plus tracks from Blockhead, James Pants and Gil Scott Heron.
