Vintage Solid Steel: DJ Food & DK - “Now, Listen!” (The Director’s Cut)
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: 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 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: Last Stand At The BBC
Cue the atmospheric wild west music in the background as Solid Steel makes it’s last stand! The BBC in their unrelentingly infinite wisdom (note: sarcasm) never really know a good thing when they’ve got it (don’t get us started on the Radiophonic Workshop), and the eradication of Solid Steel from the BBC airwaves is a [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: Double Dee & Steinski
Play that beat, Mr DJ! Yet another classic unearthed from the Solid Steel vaults/crates/someplace dark. Strictly Kev and DK take you on a lesson (1,2,3, etc etc etc) in hip hop history as they get together with Double Dee and Steinski for a memorable interview that, even if you think you know your lessons, are [...]
