solid steel (24 Dec 2010) -- Best of 2010 part one!

Solid Steel in association with Serato (24th December).

We continue our review of 2010 looking back at the most popular mixes by the 'nu skool' Solid Steel resident DJ's, as voted by you the listeners. 'In no particular order', we kick off with Boom Monk Ben and a section from his mix back in September, hitting big dubstep tracks with Benga's remix of Toddla T, Chali 2Na & Rusko, plus ragga flavours from Tanya Stephens and the oh so soulful voice of Erykah Badu given a superb remix by Seiji.

Cheeba's mix from February got your votes, with music from Waxfactor, Memory9, and Santogold alongside music from the Ninja catalogue, where DJ Food and King Cannibal jostle for space with Roots Manuva and Hexstatic.

In Hour 2, Ruckus Roboticus gets the nod for his May mix of contemporary beats, hip-hop, and soul to while away your lazy afternoons. Of course J Dilla is in there, lounging alongside Mos Def, Flying lotus and Jay Electronica.

DJ Moneyshot's 'You Are The Infinity' mix from February hit the right button, with crisp drum kicks of vintage Jungle added to a hypnotic dose of self-help records, Rock breaks, classic Hip-Hop and downtempo beats. Ann Peacock, Photek, Organized Konfusion, Pixies and Daedelus all get some treatment.

solid steel (04 Dec 2009)

Solid Steel in association with Serato (4th December).

Once again you have the unique opportunity of either listening to this weeks show, or watching the video version of the mix...

DJ Food & DK showcase their AV mix that they perform live on 4 decks and 3 mixers. As usual, it's the diverse mix of music that they love and are known for, taking in current faves from Foreign Beggars & Noisia, Joy Orbison and Dorian Concept, but also plenty of classics that have kept dancefloors rocking from TTC, Pendulum, Luke Vibert, Think Tank and Z-Trip. Plus, there's sections from their two highly successful mix CD's that have Rakim rapping alongside the Human League and the Beat battling the drum and bass of Mask, and all in glorious video as well.

In the second half, Ruckus Roboticus delivers an early Xmas present for Daft Punk fans. Tracks from the Parisian duo are laced with music from Kanye West, Diplo and others who give a generous nod to the robotic pair.

solid steel (10 JUL 2009)

Solid Steel in association with Serato (10th July)

This week Ruckus Roboticus comes through with a live mix named 'Music Therapy" and it hits all the right buttons now that summer is upon us. Max Sedgley, Recloose and Earth, Wind & Fire put you in the mood to break out the BBQ, put the sun shades on and "sit back & unwind".

If we are to do a MJ tribute mix, it would have to be an exceptional one and in the second hour Chris Read delivers exactly that. All the great tracks from him and his brothers, as well as cover versions from Ian Brown, Shinehead and Zulema, plenty of remixes, plus some of the many hip hop tracks to sample him including Nas, De La Soul and Pete Rock and CL Smooth. RIP
