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 [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: Coldcut Meet Juan Atkins
Many of the Solid Steel shows doing the rounds over the past few years as MP3s have mostly come from the mid-nineties onwards. While there have been some outstanding shows from that time, they don’t really reflect the early days of Solid Steel. And by early, we’re talking the eighties! Back when every radio show [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: Coldcut Meets The Orb

Controller 7 - BUMPS
BUMPS is a mix which, to quote Controller 7 himself, ‘…was put together in my spare time as an attempt to keep myself entertained’. If everyone else had this kind of forward thinking approach to boredom, we’d be overrun with quality creative efforts! As such, C7 gets digging in those old skool hip hop crates [...]

Rhettmatic - Bake & Bits (Stones Throw)
Stones Throw podcast time. Looks like it’s the last one for 2007, and what better way to go out than to recruit one of the founding fathers of the Beat Junkie crew, Rettmatic, to go nuts with the doughnuts. Not so much a round-up of Stones Throw’s blistering releases from the past year, instead podcast [...]
Neon Neon - Stainless Style Influences
Everyone loves the eighties! Even the kids of today who weren’t even born then but suck up it’s cultural influences like it’s going out of fashion. Which it did, but came back, then went out of fashion again, and… oh, it’s just too complicated. A couple of cats who do still rep for the eighties [...]
Daft Punk - Electroma (Unofficial Soundtrack)
Daft Punk’s Electroma truly is one of those films that you either love or hate with all your being. With it’s premiere screened at Cannes, reviews were mixed with a near-equal amount of both praise and indifference. A complete lack of dialogue isn’t the first step towards endearing your audience to your live action cinematic [...]
DJ Krush - Suimou Tsunenimasu DVD review
When is the best time for an artist to be retrospective about their work? In most cases, it’s usually linked to the impending close of a recording label contract, when a lazily packaged ‘greatest hits’ compilation falls into place in the absence of any new material. For some, it can be a chance to cast [...]
