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: 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: 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!

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 [...]

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 [...]
Madlib: Soon The New Day (Instrumental) for your ears
Summer is here, the sun is shining, and Madlib’s got his beat-creating hat on. Tucked away in a super sneaky hidey-hole on the Stones Throw website is an instrumental track titled ‘Soon The New Day’, which will appear on Talib Kweli’s upcoming long player Ear Drum in July. The album version features Norah Jones on [...]
Solid Steel: DK & Strictly Kev respect to James Brown mix
James Brown - what is there that’s left to say? His status of living legend to solely ‘legend’ was a sad but inevitable blow when, ever the showman, he passed away on Christmas day of 2006 at the age of 73. A number of tribute mixes appeared shortly after Brown’s passing, his impressive back catalogue [...]
Transformers: footwear in disguise
With the all-new Transformers movie just under six months away, the tie-in products are slowly starting to sneak their way from design board to prototype status to nerdy Internet sites, this one being no exception. One such product happens to be Nike’s take on the kids cartoon show that can do no wrong, a set [...]
