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 [...]
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: DK – SSDK01
Summer is just around the corner for most people, so it’s time to put on something… funky! Cue DK, one-half of DJ Food and one totally nice fella with an ear for the tunes. Effectively a 0.5 in the official Solid Steel mix CD series, SSDK01 came across 2 CDs and features some great sounds [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: War Is Stupid
War is bad. Perhaps the only good thing about war is how it inspires people to rise up and make their voices heard, however much some of our nations’ politicans choose to ignore them. Musicians often step into the breach, being in an enviable position to reach people on a wider scale. Strictly Kev covers [...]
