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 [...]
Paul Oakenfold & Woody Wood - Live And Direct (mastermix series #14)
Paul Oakenfold isn’t the obvious name when it comes to mastermix territory, but he’s in the club too. Live And Direct is a recording taken from Kiss FM in 1985, by Rich Color. Unfortunately no back story or tracklist for this one, but in seven and a half minutes Oakenfold (and his ‘engineer’ Woody Wood) [...]

DJ Undercover - One Time Mix (mastermix series #9)
Westwood on the rewind, baby! By which I mean, here’s another choice snippet from the big dawg’s early days. Not an awful lot of info on this one, but as usual Rich Color fills in the gaps:
“Tim Westwood broadcast this on his LWR hip hop show in early 1985. It’s a live scratch mix taking [...]
Disco 45: Jam On It (mastermix series #7)
Okay, so we’ve gotta step it up a gear here - too many classic mastermixes going unheard! Not too much on the words and unfortunately no tracklisting, but plenty of that unmistakeable mid-eighties soulful sound that was on every dial in the land back in the day. Rich Color:
“Saw an ad for this 12-inch white [...]
