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: DJ Food - African Steel/Dark Star Sci-Fi Sex Up
This time round we’re back in the mid to late 90’s with PC and Strictly, aka DJ Food as they take an hour each with very different paths. PC’s mix, labelled ‘African Steel’ on the DAT mixes all manner of percussion together, both old and new, traditional and contemporary. Burundi beats and thumb piano collide [...]
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: DK - More From The Vaults
Time is precious as they say. We say - never a truer word spoken. We’re keeping it direct and to the point this time round, not too much in the way of reading material (from the worldy wordsmith Strictly Kev, as always)… but it’s about the tunes, you all shout! Good show, as DK’s back [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: DJ Food Vs DJ Vadim
Vintage Steel brings vintage DJ Vadim. A big-hitter on the dusty beats and breaks scene back in the mid 90s, Russia’s finest carved a niche for himself early on by utilising unique sounds that other producers hadn’t thought to load into their samplers back then - it seems Vadim had a lot of squeaky door [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: DK - SSDK01
Summer is just around the corner for most people, so it’s time to put on something… funky! Cue DK, one-half of DJ Food and one totally nice fella with an ear for the tunes. Effectively a 0.5 in the official Solid Steel mix CD series, SSDK01 came across 2 CDs and features some great sounds [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: ‘Now, Listen’ Tour Retrospective
As the opening salvo for the official Solid Steel mix CD series, Solid Steel: ‘Now, Listen’ had plenty of expectation riding on it’s shoulders. Embarking the Solid Steel brand on it’s logical progression, DJ Food and DK expanded on the hap-hazard nature of the selections heard on the radio broadcasts with an outstanding grab-bag of [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: PC
There are many music producers who would happily sit back and operate behind the scenes, never revealing their true identity, determined to retain a shadowy persona to let the music speak for itself. This was an automatic given for early DJ Food contributor Patrick Carpenter. Whether intentional or not, using his initials (PC) caused a [...]
