Autechre are due to release Oversteps this month, their latest album since 2008’s Quaristice.

Not to worry – Autechre have you [...]
Strictly Kev – Kev’s Kraftwerk Kover Kollection 1-6
Kraftwerk should require no introduction. You’ve heard either their music or influence, knowingly or unknowingly at some time or another. Their reach has been so emphatically placed into the mindset of so many modern artists, it’s difficult to know where to begin when considering songs influenced by the German visionaries of the future, or just [...]
BosBos – The Alt River
The Alt River is more compilation than mix – no fancy turntable tricks here – but what matters (what should always matter) are the tunes. The outer sounds to be found come courtesy of classic bands like Joy Division, Public Image Limited and The Pop Group, as well as more modern types like !!! (Chk [...]
BosBos – Technode
Techno was, is and will forever be associated with the future. From the space-age pieces of music-making kit involved that are synonymous with the genre, to the forward-thinking sounds found in all manner of hard to find albums and expensive import 12 inches, techno is always one step ahead of the rest of the pack. [...]
BosBos – The Appearance Of A Thousand Ghosts On Christmas Eve
Horror can take many forms, but music is far down most people’s list of things that scare them. A creepy insect roaming along the wall or a twisted horror movie perhaps, but few would say that music gives them the scares. Well to those we say… it’s time for music to scare you! This arrangement [...]
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. Also in the planning is the first volume in a new mix CD series based around Coldcut’s Solid Steel show, to be included [...]
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 – 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 [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: Ken Nordine – Talking All That Word Jazz (2008 Edition)
“You may not know Ken Nordine by name or face, but you’ll almost certainly recognize his voice.” A very special outing for the Vintage Solid Steel collection for your listening enjoyment, originally broadcast in 1998 but extended and edited for 2008 by an exacting Strictly Kev who doesn’t know when to say ‘it’s finished!’ Also [...]
