The year is 2000 and Ninja Tune is a decade old. To celebrate, a new compilation of the Ninja Cuts series is in production, featuring tracks from artists past, present and future.

Vintage Solid Steel: Coldcut - Essential Mix
The clocks just went back, so what do we do here? Send them forward! We’ve pulled out a more recent show to add to the Vintage Steel selections, but recent doesn’t equal bad… far from it. When Coldcut were offered up a 2 hour slot for the BBC Radio 1’s Essential mix in 2006, they [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: DJ Food (PC & Strictly Kev) - Solid Steel 97-99
DJ Food (PC & Strictly Kev): Solid Steel 97-99
DK’s choice this time round and he sums up these selections thus: “These are probably my favourite Solid Steel mixes, early days in the show for me and some great ‘moments’ in them….” He obviously liked them because as well as appearing on the 19/10/97, 06/06/99 and [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: Coldcut, PC - It’s Time For House
“It’s time for house!” an old jingle would loudly proclaim and this entry starts off with just that. Not many people think of Coldcut or Solid Steel and put House music in the same bag, but there was a time when they were actually quite good buddies. Many early shows and K mixes contain plenty [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: Coldcut, PC - Solid Wood
This week we take a more organic stance on proceedings with a little known treasure nicknamed Solid Wood by PC who, with Jon More, decided to present an entire show from a less electronic viewpoint. Jazz, African, Indian, classical, roots and world - or should that be ‘other world’ - music, all feature heavily instead [...]

We return to the K Mixes archive this week and dig out four storming sets from Coldcut and PC including Old School Hip Hop in the disco rap mould, cut ups galore as only Coldcut do, a Jazz Rap, a Native Tongues era Hip Hop mix and a Go Go session from PC. All I [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: PC Via Josephine/Coldcut Meet Jean Jacques Perry
A mixed bag (aren’t they all ‘mixed’ bags?) here, but quality assured nonetheless. PC returns to the shores of bosbos.net yet again with ‘Via Josephine’, and we’re more than happy to accomodate him. And what’s this? Jean Jacques Perry turning up along with Coldcut for a natter? The only thing to improve this wonderful listening [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: King Megatrip - I Must Insist You Eat Steel/Coldcut - Planet Of The Apes Special
(Introduction courtesy of Strictly Kev) For this week’s vintage session we turn the tables over to Solid Steel’s US ambassador: King Megatrip. For those who don’t know, Megatrip has been first a fan, then a show archivist, amassing possibly the world’s biggest collection of past Solid Steels. He has also had guest mixes featured [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: Coldcut - Best Of The K Mixes
Exactly how deep do Coldcut’s cavernous vaults go? Well If this Vintage Steel selection is anything to go by, you’d need a hard hat and a mining canary to detect for gas to tunnel on down there! Welcome to the ‘K mixes’, a truly eclectic blend of quality mind-bending mad mixes you’ve come to expect [...]
